Recoil is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned rotating wheel. The wheel
may stall and cause an uncontrolled tool to
back out of the kerf toward the operator when
the tool is in the “fire forward” position, if the
tool is set in the “reverse fire” position the tool
may tend to walk away from the operator. The
rotation direction arrow located on the back
side of the guard can be used to identify the
“fire forward” and “reverse fire” positions. The
attachment is in the fire forward position when
the directional arrow points toward the
operator, and it is in the reverse fire position
when the arrow is pointing away from the
operator.
If an abrasive wheel or diamond wheel
becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the
side of the wheel that is entering into the
material can dig into the top surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or
recoil out of the kerf either toward or away
from the operator, depending on the fire
forward or reverse fire orientation.
Abrasive wheels may also shatter under these
conditions causing pieces or fragments to
strike or impale the operator and bystanders.
Recoil or shattered wheels are the result of
tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:

Do not use any router bit
with a cutting diameter larger
than 1/4" with the Jigsaw Handle Attachment.
When using a 1/4" shank bit
or any router bit with the
Jigsaw Handle Attachment, the collet nut
must be tightened using the supplied wrench.
Finger tight is not sufficient for router bits.
Indicate direction of rotation
of the bit. When viewing
from above, DOR is CW. When viewed from
the end of the bit, DOR is CCW.
Before doing any work with
the Jig Saw Attachment,
tighten the depth adjust screw tightly.
