GEB016-3
JIG SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
15. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are
working with.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Selecting the cutting action
(For models 4328/4329)
Fig.1
This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight
line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting
action thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke
and greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.

CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Speed adjusting dial
(For models 4327/4328/4329)
Fig.3
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500
and 3,100 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 6; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed

7
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.
Workpiece to be cut Number on adjusting dial
Wood 5 - 6
Mild steel 3 - 6
Stainless steel 3 - 4
Aluminum 3 - 6
Plastics 1 - 4
006583
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds
for a long time, the motor will get overloaded and
heated up.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or
the speed adjusting function may no longer work.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
Fig.4
CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure
to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the
blade, resulting in a serious personal injury.
• Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
• Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient
tightening of the blade may cause blade breakage
or serious personal injury.
• Use only B type blades. Using blades other than B
type blades causes insufficient tightening of the
blade, resulting in a serious personal injury.
To install the blade, loosen the bolt counterclockwise on
the blade holder with the hex wrench.
With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade into
the blade holder as far as it will go. Make sure that the
back edge of the blade fits into the roller. Then tighten
the bolt clockwise to secure the blade.
Fig.5
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
NOTE:
• Occasionally lubricate the roller.
Hex wrench storage
Fig.6
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
Adjusting roller (For models 4326/4327)
Fig.7
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the retainer so that the roller contacts the
blade lightly. Then tighten the bolt to secure the base
and the retainer.
NOTE:
• Occasionally lubricate the roller.
Dust cover
Fig.8
CAUTION:
• Always wear safety goggles even when operating
the tool with the dust cover lowered.
Lower the dust cover to prevent chips from flying.
However, when making bevel cuts, raise it all the way.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.
Failure to do so may cause blade breakage,
resulting in a serious injury.
• Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves
or scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted
cutting surface and blade breakage.
Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
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 cutting line.
Fig.9
Bevel cutting
Fig.10
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before tilting the base.
• Raise the dust cover all the way before making
bevel cuts.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in
the center of the cross-shaped slot in the base.

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then
tighten the bolt to secure the base.
Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.
A) Boring a starting hole
Fig.14
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an
edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in
diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start
your cut.
B) Plunge cutting
Fig.15
You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-
in cut if you carefully do as follows.
(1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base
with the blade point positioned just above the
workpiece surface.
(2) Apply pressure to the tool so that the front
edge of the base will not move when you
switch on the tool and gently lower the back
end of the tool slowly.
(3) As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly
lower the base of the tool down onto the
workpiece surface.
(4) Complete the cut in the normal manner.
Finishing edges
Fig.16
To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
blade lightly along the cut edges.
Metal cutting
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear.
The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead
of using a coolant.
Dust extraction
Fig.17
Clean cutting operations can be performed by
connecting this tool to a Makita vacuum cleaner. Insert
the hose of the vacuum cleaner into the hole at the rear
of the tool. Lower the dust cover before operation.
