GENERAL SAFETY RULES
5

WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product
safety rules. Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this
equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in personal injury and tool damage.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR YOUR JIG SAW
1. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases
the risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
2. PERSONAL SAFETY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses, a dust mask and hearing protection when
using the saw. Always maintain a firm grip by the insulated gripping surfaces only. Keep handles and hands dry,
free from oil or other slippery substances. Slippery surfaces prevent you from safely maintaining control of the tool.
3. PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK. When working with the tool, make sure to keep the blade away from
any power cables, extension cords or wiring. Only hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation in case the cutter contacts its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. TOOL INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool for any damage or missing parts. Do not use the tool if
any part is missing or damaged. Do not use the tool if the power switch is faulty, the plug or cable is damaged, or the
tool produces sparks, smoke, or unpleasant odors (you may smell brushes wearing down for a few minutes as the
tool breaks in during the first use, that is normal). Make sure all adjustments are correct and all connections are tight.
5. WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Check the workpiece for any nails, cracks or obstructions before commencing
operation. If there are nails, be sure to remove them. If the jig saw blades strike foreign objects like nails it may cause
serious personal injury from kickback.
6. SECURING THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps to secure the workpiece whenever possible to prevent wobble,
damage to the workpiece, and personal injury. Never hold the work by hand or against the body as it may lead to a
loss of control. Small workpieces must be adequately secured so that the reciprocating jig saw blades don’t pick them
up during the forward motion of the jig saw.
7. STARTING THE TOOL. Always start the jig saw before the blade is in contact with the workpiece. Let the
blade reach full speed before using the tool. The jig saw can vibrate, chatter, and possibly kick back if the cutting
speed is too slow.
8. DURING OPERATION. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool. Overstressing the tool may cause kick-
back and damage the tool and accessories. Never pull the jig saw backwards over the workpiece. Use special care
when working corners, sharp edges etc.
9. KEEP HANDS AWAY. Keep your hands away from the cutting area. Never attempt to remove shavings or loose
pieces until the blade has completely stopped. Never put your hands under the workpiece. The blades are hidden
from view and you may be cut if the blade is contacted.
10. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE. Check the blade for chipped or broken teeth. Only use sharp and straight
saw blades. Do not use wornout or damaged blades. Make sure the blade is securely clamped by the blade holder. If
the blade is not properly installed, it may eject from the jigsaw unexpectedly during operation and result in personal
injury.

11. MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Always turn off and unplug the jig saw before making adjustments or changing
attachments. Accidental start-ups may occur if the jig saw is plugged in during an accessory change. Do not touch the
attachment immediately after operation. Allow time for the attachment to cool and calm down before removing it.
12. TOOL MAINTENANCE. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. Follow the instructions
for lubrication, storage changing accessories. Unplug the saw before making adjustments or changing accessories.
Before plugging the tool back in, check that the power switch is OFF.
13. CLEANING THE TOOL. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool. Internal
wires may be misplaced or pinched and safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
14. USE COMMON SENSE. These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this
tool, so always make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
LASER SAFETY
ATTENTION: LASER RADIATION. CLASS 2 LASER. DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM
1. Do not look directly into the laser beam with unprotected eyes. Never look into the path of the beam.
2. Never point the laser beam towards reflecting surfaces. Never point the laser towards people or animals. Even a
laser beam with a low output can cause damage to the eyes.
3. Remove the laser batteries before storing the miter saw for an extended period of time.
4. Never open the laser module as unexpected exposure to the beam can occur. The laser cannot be replaced with
a different type of laser.
5. Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised representative.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in concept in electrical power tool safety, where two systems of insula-
tion are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed
metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from electric shock resulting
from a break in the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.
1. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. DO NOT modify
the machine plug or the extension cord in any way.
2. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) Protection should be provided on the circuit or outlet
used for this power tool. Receptacles with built-in GFCI protection are recommended to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
3. SERVICE AND REPAIR. To avoid danger, electrical appliances must only be repaired by qualified service tech-
nician using original replacement parts; otherwise this may result in considerable damage to the user.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest bringing the product to you near-
est authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution, do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched off and discon-
nected from the power supply before inspecting the unit, making adjustments or changing accessories.
INSTALLING/REPLACING THE JIG SAW BLADE (Fig. 1 to 3)
The jig saw is capable of cutting a variety of materials when fitted with the correct blade. Always select the suitable
blade for your operation. Your jig saw comes with a wood-cutting blade and a metal-cutting blade. Generally, use
coarse-toothed blades for faster and rougher cuts. Use fined-toothed blades for smoother and more precise cuts.
Use very fine-toothed blades for plastic, aluminum and steel cutting operations. Always use sharp and straight
blades and replace the blade when it becomes dull or damaged.
This jigsaw is equipped with a tool-less blade changing system for fast and easy changes of T-shank blades. This
jigsaw does not accept U-shank blades. Use only blades designated for use with this model. Jig saw blades cannot
and should not be re-sharpened. Replacement jig saw blades (Model 33606BW and 33606BM) can be purchased
from wenproducts.com.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
SETTING THE CUTTING SPEED (Fig. 5)
Your jig saw is equipped with a variable speed dial (Fig. 5 - 1) to set the
appropriate blade stroke rate for your operation. Speed setting 1 is the low-
est speed, and setting 6 is the highest speed (3300 RPM). To increase the
speed, turn the wheel forward to a higher number. To decrease speed, turn
the wheel backwards to a lower number.
The optimal cutting speed/stroke rate depends on the material being cut,
the type of blade being used, and the feed rate preferred by the operator.

Fig. 4
As a general rule, use slower speeds for denser materials and use faster speeds for softer materials. To best deter-
mine the cutting speed, test on a scrap piece of identical material and adjust accordingly.
CAUTION: When the jigsaw is used at low speed settings for an extended length of time, the motor temperature
will rise due to slower speeds of the internal cooling fan. To prevent the motor from overheating, occasionally run
the tool at full speed for a few minutes to keep the motor running at high efficiency.
11
SETTING THE BLADE ORBITAL ACTION (Fig. 4)
The blade orbit selector lever controls the blade orbit travel distance. There are 4 settings, indicated on the side
housing (Fig. 4). At the 0 setting, the blade moves up and down in a straight line for smooth cutting. At the 3 setting,
the blade moves in an elliptical stroke for fast, aggressive cutting. Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained by ad-
justing the blade orbit selector lever to suit the material being cut. This list below is guideline to help you determine
which setting to use for your application. To determine the best setting, test cuts in scrap materials first.
• Setting 0: Suits hard materials such as metals or thin sheet metals.
Use this setting for plunge cuts, as well as cutting curves and sharp edges.
• Setting 1: Suits medium-hard materials (hard wood, aluminum) and
thin workpieces. This setting can also be used for making round cuts and
sharp edge cuts.
• Setting 2: Suits soft materials such as wood and plastics where cleaner
cutting or delicate scrolling work is performed.
• Setting 3: Suits soft materials such as wood and plastics. Use this setting
for faster and more aggressive cutting.

performing any maintenance.
CLEANING
1. Clean the tool after every use with a soft cloth. Keep the ventilation openings free from dust and debris. Avoid
using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
2. Remove the saw blade after use and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
WARNING: Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these include but are
not limited to: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents that contain ammonia.
NOTE: Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to acceler-
ated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types
of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using
compressed air after operation.
MAINTENANCE
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT (Fig. 14 & 15)
To maintain maximum efficiency of the motor, we recommend inspecting
the two carbon brushes every 60 hours of operation.
NOTE: Replacement carbon brushes (Part No. 33606-019) can be or-
dered at wenproducts.com. Only genuine WEN replacement brushes de-
signed specifically for your tool should be used.
1. To access the carbon brushes, remove the clear plastic blade guard and
unscrew the 11 screws from the right housing. Remove the housing and
check the brushes, located left of the stator and pressed against the motor
commutator (Fig. 14).
2. The wear on the carbon brushes depends on how frequently and how
heavily the tool is used. Replace the brushes when the brush length (Fig.
15) gets down to 3/16 of an inch or when the tool sparks or stops working.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
