Following this preventative step reduces the risk of the saw coming on acciden-
tally and the risk of damage to the workpiece and injury to the operator.

The operating speed of the jigsaw
can be varied by using the Speed
Control Switch located on the top of
the jigsaw. Turn the speed control
from 0 to 6 to set the speed. On
most cuts, such as wood and metal,
the faster speed works best. On
other materials, such as plastic or
laminants, a slower speed might be
necessary to reduce vibration and
make smoother cuts.
OOPPEERRAATTIINNGG TTHHEE OONN // OOFFFF SSWWIITTCCHH
Plug the jigsaw into an approved 115
V AC outlet. This tool is double
insulated and equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). Double insulation
eliminates the need for a special
three-wire grounded power supply.
Holding the jigsaw by the insulated
handle, squeeze the trigger to turn
the jigsaw
OONN
and release the trigger
to turn the jigsaw
OOFFFF
. Allow the
blade to reach the maximum set
speed before bringing it in contact
with the workpiece.

Together with the electronic speed
regulation, the pendulum stroke
adjustment helps to set the best
combination of blade speed and
aggressiveness needed to achieve a
desired cut rate and fineness. The
pendular knob is used to make the
adjustment. The best pendulum
stroke setting for the particular work
to be carried out can be obtained
from the following table. When using
a knife blade, the pendulum setting
should be 0. We recommend the use
of appropriate lubrication for cutting
metal.

Disconnect the unit from the power
supply. Raise the safety guard and
loosen the hex screw on the shoe
plate with the hex wrench. Pull the
shoe plate backward and set the
desired angular adjustment according
to the scale or push the shoe plate
forward for fixed Locks at 0°, 15°, 30°
or 45°. Tighten the hex screws again.
Always replace the hex wrench in the
hex wrench holder on the shoe plate
immediately after use.
