KNOW YOUR JIG SAW
See Figure 1.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as
well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before
use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating
features and safety rules.
ANTI-SPLINTERING INSERT
The anti-splintering insert prevents splintering of the
workpiece material for a smoother cut. It is especially helpful
when cutting plywood.
BLADE GUARD
The wire blade guard helps protect the operator from
accidental contact with the saw blade.
CHIP SHIELD
A clear plastic chip shield on the front of your saw helps
protect against flying dust and chips.
NO-MAR PLATE
The no-mar plate has a smooth finish and can be snapped
on over the metal shoe of the jig saw. This makes it easier
to glide the tool along a delicate work surface without
marring it.
ORBITAL ADJUSTMENT KNOB
The orbital adjustment knob allows you to select five orbital
settings to cut materials of varying thickness and density.
RECESSED BLADE-SUPPORT ROLLER
The recessed blade-support roller ensures accurate cutting.
Its hard-wearing die-cast aluminum casing helps protect
against overheating.
TOOL-FREE BLADE CLAMP
The tool-free blade clamp does not require the use of a blade
wrench when installing or removing the blade.
TOOL-FREE SHOE ADJUSTMENT
With the tool-free shoe adjustment lever, you can make
quick changes to the bevel setting. The shoe can be angled
45˚ left or right for bevel cutting, with positive stops in 15˚
increments.
TRIGGER LOCK
The trigger lock prevents the saw from accidental starting.
The switch trigger cannot be depressed until the trigger lock
is depressed.
