Rotating the variable speed control wheel toward the rear of

the jigsaw will result in slower speeds. Position the speed control

dial at 1 for the slowest speed, 3 for medium speed, and 6 for

the

highest speed.

CUTTING ACTION – ORBITAL OR STRAIGHT

CAUTION:

Check that the tool is not locked ON before

connecting it to a power supply. If the trigger switch is locked ON

when the tool is connected to the power supply, it will start

immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury may result.

The variable cutting action allows you to select one of four

different cutting actions.

 To set the cutting action, rotate the cutting action lever



Position 0 is straight cutting.



Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting.

 The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever is adjusted

from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.

vacuum nozzle into the vacuum adapter (Fig. H).

NOTE: The vacuum adapter is slightly tapered. If the adapter

is too large to be inserted into the vacuum port, insert the

opposite end of the adaptor into the vacuum port.

NOTE: Twist the adapter slightly as it is pressed into the

vacuum port to ensure it is fully inserted.
