TAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use commonsense. Don't operate
01 when you are tired.
HECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
irt that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will
ierate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
oving parts, bindingof movingparts, breakage of parts, mounting, andany
her conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized serv-
e center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.

01 if switch does not turn it on and off.
UARD AGAINST ELECTRICSHOCK. Prevent body contact
with grounded
irfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
!PLACEMENT PARTS.When servicing, use only identicalreplacement parts.
,GE WARNING: Beforeconnecting the toolto a power source (receptacle,
etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
)lateof the tool. A power source with voltage gr.eater than that specified
! tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY tothe user - as well as damage to
01. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
e less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

HOW TO USE
Installing jig saw blade m
Use the hex wrench to loosen the hex
socket head bolt which holds the blade.
Loosen I
Fig 1
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 and tighten the hex
socket head bolt securely with the hex
wrench.

NOTE :
The larger hole of the blade can be seen as
shown in Fig.

tion.

Switch action
To start the tool, simply squeeze the
switch
lever. Release the lever to stop.
Tool speed (0 to 3,400 RPM) is increased
by increasing pressureon the lever.
CAUTION
:
Before plugging in the tool, always check
to
see that the paddle switch actuates pro-
perly and returns to the "OFF" position
when released.

Straight line 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
materials, an orbital cutting action can be
selected. Soft materials, 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 materials 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 before contacting the
workpiece. Then rest the base flat on the
workpiece and gently move the tool
for-
ward along the previously marked cutting
line.
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. Switch the tool on and
lower the back end of the tool slowly,
gradually allowing the baldetosaw through
the wood until the base
is able to sit flat on
the workpiece. You may then proceed for-
ward 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
insert the blade in itand proceed.
Frontflush cuts
Loosen the bolt on the back
of the base
with the hex wrench, then slide the base
backwards. Check the contact between the
back edge of the blade and the roller, then
secure the
bolt.

Bevel cutting
1. With the base tilted, you can makebevel
cuts
at any angle between 0" and 45"
(leftto right).
2. Loosen the bolt on the back of the base
with the hex wrench. Tilt the base to
the desired angle. The edge of the hous-
ing indicates the bevel angle. (Fig.
IO).
Then check for contact between the
back edge
of the blade and the roler.
Now tighten the bolt securely on the
back of the base.
Finishing edges
To trim edges or make dimensional adjust.
ments, run the blade lightly along the cut
edges.
For smoother cuttingof plywoods or other
materials with easily splintered surfaces,
the wood may be coated or transparent
tape used over your cutting line.

Usingguide rule (Rip fence)
1. When cutting widths of under 150 mm
(6") repeatedly, use of the guide rule
will assure fast, clean, straight cuts.
2. To attach the guide rule (ripfence), use
the hex wrench to loosen the screw on
the under side
of the base in front, slip
in the guide rule and secure the screw.
Using circular guide
1. Use of the circular guide insures

of circles (radius;
200 mm; 7-7/8") and arcs.

2. When attaching the circular guide, use
the pin, inserting it in the center hole
(arrow) and secure
it with the threaded
knob. The circular guide attaches to the
base
of the tool in the same manner as
the guide rule (ripfence).
Metal cutting
Always use a suitable coolant (cuttingoil)
when cutting metal. Failure to do so will
cause significant blade wear.
The underside of the workpiece can be
greased insteadof using
a coolant. (Fig. 17).

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION :
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes
regularly. Replace when they wear down
to about 4.5 mm (3/16") or less. Keep
the brushes clean and free to slip in the
holders. Both brushes should be changed
at the same time, Use only Makita carbon
brushes.
