TOOL ASSEMBLY
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
tool before attaching or removing accessories
or making adjustments. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
WARNING!
Installing saw blades
Use only T-Shank jig saw blades.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Firmly rotate the Quik-Lok tension lever as far as it will go and hold
it in position (Fig. 1).
3. Fit the saw blade into the groove in the support roller and push it
firmly into the plunger as far as it will go; the lug of the saw blade
must be in the plunger.
4. Release the Quik-Lok tension lever and the saw blade is automati-
cally held.
5. Check that the saw blade is held firmly; the slot in the plunger will be
at an angle to the blade (Fig. 2).
Adjusting the shoe (Fig. 3)
The shoe may be tilted up to 45° in either direction and moved forward or
backward.
To set a tilt angle for angle cuts and bevels, loosen the shoe
adjustment lever and pull the base forward slightly until the retaining lugs
are no longer engaged. Tilt the shoe to the required preset angle
(15°, 30°, or 45°) as read on the tilt angle scale. Push back the shoe into
the retaining lugs and tighten the shoe adjustment lever. If angles other
than the presets are required, set the desired angle and tighten the shoe
adjustment lever without engaging the retaining lugs.
If very exact angles are needed it is recommended that a test cut and
subsequent adjustment be made.
Using the shoe cover
The shoe cover is used to prevent marring and scratching of the
workpiece surface. To attach the shoe cover, hook the front of the cover
over the steel shoe. Next, snap the rear of the shoe cover to the steel
shoe. Be sure both sides are snapped in place.
When the shoe cover is not needed, remove it by pulling the tabs on rear
of the shoe cover outward from the steel shoe. Unhook the front of the
shoe cover and remove.
Using the anti-splinter device (Fig.4)
The anti-splinter device helps stablize the workpiece and reduces
workpiece splinter.
To use, slide the anti-splinter device onto the shoe or shoe cover (Fig. 4).
Make sure the anti-splinter device is installed flush with the bottom of the
shoe and shoe cover, as applicable.
