KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don‘t use power tools

in

damp

or wet locations. Keep work area well

lit.

Don’t expose power tools torain.

Don’t use tool

in

presence of flammable liquids or gases.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

Don’t let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

STORE IDLETOOLS. Whennot

in

use, tools should bestored

in

dry, andhigh

or locked-up place

-

out of reach of children.

DON’T FORCETOOL.

It

will

dothejob betterandsafer attheratefor which

it

was intended.

USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a

heavy-duty tool. Don‘t use tool for purpose not intended.

DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothingor jewelry. They canbecaught

in

moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended

when working outdoors. Wear protectivehair coveringtocontain long hair.

USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty.

DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carrytool by cordor yank

it

todisconnectfrom

receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using

your hand and

it

frees both hands to operate tool.

DON‘T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and cleanfor better and

safer performance. Follow instructionsfor lubricating and changing acces-

sories. Inspect toolcords periodically and ifdamaged, have repairedby autho-

rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if

damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

DISCONNECTTOOLS. When not

in

use, beforeservicing, and when chang-

ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

14.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removedfrom tool beforeturning

it

on.

15.

AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carryplugged-intool withfinger

on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging

in.

16.

OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is usedoutdoors, use only

extension cords intended for use outdoors and

so

marked.

17.

STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don't operate

tool when you are tired.

18.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that

it

will

operate properly and perform

its

intendedfunction. Check for alignment of

movingparts,

binding

of movingparts, breakageof parts, mounting, and any

other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that

is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized serv-

ice center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere inthis instruction manual.

Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don't use

tool if switch does not turn

it

on and off.

19.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact

with

grounded

surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

20.

REPLACEMENTPARTS.When servicing, useonly identicalreplacement parts.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connectingthe tool to

a

power source (receptacle.

outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the

nameplate of the tool. A power source

with

voltage greater than that specified

for the tool can result inSERIOUS INJURY to the user

-

as well as damage to

the tool.

If

in

doubt,

DO

NOT PLUG

IN

THE TOOL. Using a power source

with

voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Straightline or orbital cutting action

Conventional jig saws cut with

a

straight

line action, that

is,

the blade moves only

up and down in

a

straight line. Your saw

also cuts in this manner but, for softer

workpieces, an orbitalcutting actioncan be

selected. Soft workpieces like wood and

plastic permit deep penetration of indivi-

dual saw teeth. The orbital action thrusts

the blade forward on the cutting stroke

and greatly increases cutting speed over

conventional jig saws. Harder workpieces

like metal should be cut using the straight

line cutting action

or

a

very low orbital

setting.

To

select straight line or orbital

cutting, adjust the number on the saw.

Operation

Turn the tool on and wait until the blade

attains full speed. Then rest the

base

flat

on the workpiece and gently move the tool

forward along the previously marked cut-

ting line. When cutting curves, advance the

tool very slowly.

I

CAUTION

:

Failure to holdthe tool base flush withthe workpiece may cause bladebreakage.

you

can make bevel

at

any angle between

and

Frontflush cuts

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base

with the hex wrench, then slide the base

backwards. Check the contactbetween the

back edge of the blade and the roller, then

secure the bolt.

Plunge cutting

Starting

a

cut

at

other than the edge of

the workpiece without first drilling

a

starting hole requires

a

"plunge cut". This

can be accomplished by tipping the tool

forward until the front end of the base

rests against the workpiece. Switchthe tool

on and lower the back end of the

tool

slowly, gradually allowing the blade to saw

through the workpiece until the base

is

able to

sit

flat on the workpiece. YOUmay

then proceed forward with the cut in

a

normal manner.

If

using

a

drill for

a

starting hole, bore

a

hole over 12 mm (1/2") in diameter. Then

insertthe blade in

it

and proceed.

Finishingedges

To trim edges or make dimensional adjust-

ments, run the blade lightly along the cut

edges.

For smoother cutting of plywood or other

workpieces with easily splintered surfaces,

transparent tape may be used over your

cutting line.
