We recommend you save these instructions GENERAL & SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS POWER SUPPLY WARNING: YOUR JIG SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 110V, 15-AMP CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE. Your jig saw must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS JIG SAW CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. EXTENSION CORDS The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the following chart to determine the minimum wire gauge (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord. Only use polarized extension cords (one prong wider than the other) which have 2-prong type plugs and 2-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire gauge must be increased proportionate- ly in order to deliver ample voltage to the jig saw. Refer to chart for wire length and size. SPECIFICATIONS & ELECTRICAL INFORMATION WARNING!: If any parts are missing, do not operate your jig saw until missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. WARNING!: Do not use this product as a component of others products. Also, do not use attachments or accessories not recom- mended for use with this product. Any such use could result in possible serious injury.

Always make sure the jig saw is unplugged from the power source before attempting any assembly and/or adjustments. To install the blade (A) Fig.2, loosen the blade fixing set screw (B) which is found on the blade holder (C). With the blade teeth facing forward as shown, 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 guide (D). Tighten set screw to secure blade in place. SELECTING THE CUTTING ACTION There are 4 cutting actions, 3 orbital settings and 1 straight cutting setting. To change the cutting action, turn orbital settings lever (E) Fig.2. Settings: 0- Straight line cutting- mild steel, stainless, plastics. I- Small orbit- mild steel, aluminum, hard wood. II- Medium orbit- wood, plywood, fast cutting ASSEMBLY & OPERATION Figure 2 Figure 3 of aluminum and mild steel. III- Large orbit- fast cutting wood and plywood. SWITCHING ON AND OFF To switch the jig saw on, press the trigger (A) Fig.3. To switch off, release the trigger. CONTINUOUS OPERATION To obtain continuous operation, press the trigger and at the same time move the lock-on button (B) Fig.3 backwards. This will lock the trigger in place, to release this lock-on position, press the trigger and release it.

The machine speed can be adjusted between 500 and 3,000 strokes per minute by turning the speed selector dial (A) Fig.4. The dial is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 6 (full speed). In general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced. CUTTING OPERATION Rest the base (B) Fig.4 flat on the workpiece and gently move the machine forward along the previously marked cutting line (C). When cutting curves, advance the machine very slowly. BEVEL CUTTING With the base (A) Fig.5 tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any angle between 0˚ and 45˚ (left or right). Loosen the cap screw (B) on the bottom of the machine using the hex. key. Move the base so that the cap screw is positioned in the center of the cross-shaped slot in the base. Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained. The edge of the motor housing indicates the bevel angle. Retighten the cap screw to secure the base. FLUSH CUTTING Loosen the cap screw on the bottom of the machine and move the base all the way back. Then tighten the bolt to secure the base. ASSEMBLY & OPERATION Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 CUTOUTS Cutouts can be made with either methods A or B. A) Boring a starting hole: for internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge, pre-drill a starting hole more than 12mm in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your cut. B) Plunge cutting: You do not need to bore a starting or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows: Tilt the machine up on the front edge of the base Fig.6, with the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface. Apply pressure to the machine so that the front edge of the base will not move when you switch on the machine and gently lower the back end of the machine slowly. As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the machine down onto the workpiece surface. Complete the cut in the normal manner. METAL CUTTING Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause a significant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant. PLASTIC BASE INSERT Use the plastic base insert (A) Fig.7 when cutting decorative veneers, plastics, etc. It protects sensitive surfaces from damage. To replace the base insert, remove the four screws (B). ANTI-SPLINTERING DEVICE For splinter-free cuts, the anti-splintering device (A) Fig.8 can be used. Fit into the base from below as shown. DUST CHUTE The supplied dust chute (B) Fig.9 can be installed on either the right or left side of the base, depending on practicality. To install the dust chute, slide the dust chute pins into the top of the base (A) as shown. Important note: The front plastic guard must be removed in order to install the dust chute to the base (right or left side).
