Attaching the Blade
To prevent personal injury,
always disconnect plug from
power source before assembling parts, making
adjustments, or changing blades.
1. Insert the saw blade (teeth in cutting
direction) until it latches in the plunger
(Fig. 2).
When inserting the saw blade, the back of
the blade must rest in the groove of the
guide roller (Fig. 3).
2. To remove blade, lift tool-less blade change
cover up with index finger and thumb and
remove blade.
For use with both T or U shank jigsaw blades.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or
"OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The
speed can be adjusted from the minimum to
maximum nameplate SPM by the pressure you
apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to
increase the speed and release pressure to
decrease speed (Fig. 1).
"LOCK-ON" BUTTON
The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle
of your tool allows for continuous operation at
maximum SPM without holding the trigger
(Fig. 1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "Lock-
ON" button.
If the “Lock-ON” button is
continuously being depressed,
the trigger can not be released.
PLUNGER SPEED
The stroke rate may be adjusted as described
earlier under “Variable Speed Controlled
Trigger Switch”. The best results for a
particular application is determined by
experience, though as a general rule, slower
speeds are for denser materials and faster
speeds are for soft materials.
LASER LIGHT/SITE-LIGHT™
CONTROL WHEEL
LASER RADIATION. AVOID
DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE.
DO NOT stare into the laser light source.
Never aim light at another person or object
other than the workpiece. Laser light can
damage your eyes.
DO NOT use tinted glasses
to enhance the laser light.
Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision for
the application and interfere with the normal
operation of the tool.
Never aim the beam at a
workpiece with a reflective
surface. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or
similar reflective surfaces are not
recommended for laser use. Reflective
surfaces could direct the beam back toward
the operator.
The 4 position control wheel allows you to
control the function of the lights. Below, lists
the function of each setting (Fig. 1).
Setting 1: Turns OFF all lights.
Setting 2: Turns ON only the Laser light.
Setting 3: Turns ON both the Laser light and
the Site-Light.
Setting 4: Turns ON only the Site-Light.
