Owner's Manual

The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of

thebladeforincreasedcuttingefciency.Thiscanalso

be adjusted during no load running. Refer to the chart 1

for more details. Do not use excessive blade force when

cutting with the pendulum action. The blade cuts on the

upward stroke only.

Chart 1

0 Thin materials. Fine cuts. Tight curves.

I Hard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)

II Thick materials ( e.g. wood ) & plastic

III Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in the direction of the wood grain.

5. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL (SEE FIG. H)

Fig. H

If your jig saw becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run no Load

for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR JIGSAW

Useanetoothbladewhencuttingmostlaminatesandthinwoodmaterials.Toreduceedgechipping,clamppieces

of waste wood at both ends on both sides and cut through the waste wood during cutting.

1. CUTTING LAMINATES

Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles.

2. CIRCLE CUTTING

Alwaysuseabladesuitedtothematerialandmaterialthicknesstobecut.Alwaysensurethework–pieceisrmly

held or clamped to prevent movement. For easier control, use low speed to start cutting, then increase to correct

speed.

Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip

the uppermost surface or face of the work piece. Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-visible surface when your

workisnished.
