FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing jig saw blade
Selecting the cutting action
► Fig.1: 1. Cutting action changing lever
CAUTION: Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the jig saw blade and/or
blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight
line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting
action thrusts the jig saw blade forward on the cutting
stroke and greatly increases cutting speed.
CAUTION: Do not touch the jig saw blade or
the workpiece immediately after operation. They
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
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: Always secure the jig saw blade
firmly. Insufficient tightening of the blade may cause
blade breakage or serious personal injury.

Switch action
Hex wrench storage

CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
► Fig.2: 1. Switch trigger 2. Lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
OPERATION
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger, push
in the lock button and then release the switch trigger.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
CAUTION: Always hold the base flush with
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause jig saw
blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
CAUTION: Advance the tool very slowly when
cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may
cause a slanted cutting surface and jig saw blade
breakage.
► Fig.6: 1. Cutting line 2. Base
Turn the tool on without the jig saw 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.
