Intended use
The tool is intended for the sawing of wood, plastic and
metal materials. As a result of the extensive accessory
andsawbladeprogram,thetoolcanbeusedformany
purposes and is very well suited for curved or circular
cuts.
Power supply
Thetoolshouldbeconnectedonlytoapowersupplyof
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and
canonlybeoperatedonsingle-phaseACsupply.They
aredouble-insulatedandcan,therefore,alsobeused
from sockets without earth wire.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN62841-2-11:
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 85 dB (A)
Sound power level (LWA) : 96 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A)
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has
beenmeasuredinaccordancewithastandardtest
methodandmaybeusedforcomparingonetoolwith
another.
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s)
mayalsobeusedinapreliminaryassessmentof
exposure.
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
WARNING: The noise emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the
tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is
processed.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Jig saw safety warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, 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workpiece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 oor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool rmly.
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 imme-
diately 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 inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
15. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
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
►Fig.1: 1. Cutting action changing lever
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.

Speed adjusting dial
For 4351CT, 4351FCT
►Fig.3: 1.Speedadjustingdial
Thetoolspeedcanbeinnitelyadjustedbetween800
and2,800strokesperminutebyturningtheadjusting
dial.Higherspeedisobtainedwhenthedialisturnedin
thedirectionofnumber5;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
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.

Cutouts
CutoutscanbemadewitheitheroftwomethodsAorB.
A) Boring a starting hole:
►Fig.13: 1. Starting hole
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an
edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diame-
ter.Insertthebladeintothisholetostartyourcut.
B) Plunge cutting:
►Fig.14
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.15
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signicantbladewear.
Theundersideoftheworkpiececanbegreasedinstead
of using a coolant.
Dust extraction
►Fig.16: 1. Dust nozzle 2. Base
►Fig.17
The dust nozzle (accessory) is recommended to per-
form clean cutting operations.
To attach the dust nozzle on the tool, insert the hook of
dustnozzleintotheholeinthebase.
Thedustnozzlecanbeinstalledoneitherleftorright
sideofthebase.
Then connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust
nozzle.
►Fig.18: 1. Dust nozzle 2. Hose for vacuum cleaner
CAUTION:
• Ifyoutrytoremovethedustnozzleforcibly,the
hookofthedustnozzlecanbediminishedand
removed unintentionally during operation.
Rip fence set (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Alwaysbesurethatthetoolisswitchedoff
andunpluggedbeforeinstallingorremoving
accessories.
1. Straight cuts

►Fig.20: 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. Fence guide
When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm or less, use
of the rip fence will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. To
install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on
thesideofthetoolbasewiththefenceguidefacing
down. Slide the rip fence to the desired cutting width
position,thentightenthebolttosecureit.
2. Circular cuts
►Fig.21
►Fig.22: 1. Fence guide 2.Threadedknob3. Circular
guide pin
When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm or less in
radius, install the rip fence as follows.
Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the
sideofthebasewiththefenceguidefacingup.
Insert the circular guide pin through either of the
two holes on the fence guide. Screw the threaded
knobontothepintosecurethepin.
Now slide the rip fence to the desired cutting
radius,andtightenthebolttosecureitinplace.
Thenmovethebaseallthewayforward.
NOTE:
• AlwaysusebladesNo.B-17,B-18,B-26orB-27
when cutting circles or arcs.
Guide rail adapter set (accessory)
►Fig.23
When cutting parallel and uniform width or cutting
straight, the use of the guide rail and the guide rail
adapter will assure the production of fast and clean cuts.
Toinstalltheguiderailadapter,inserttherulebarinto
thesquareholeofthebaseasfarasitgoes.Securethe
boltwiththehexwrenchsecurely.
