Pocket Cutting - Wood Only (Fig. K)
Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk orscriber.
1. Insert blade
11
in blade clamp collar
3
and tighten
blade clampsecurely.
2. Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the pivoting
shoe is firmly on the worksurface.
3. Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain
maximumspeed.
4. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward
swing with the handle of thesaw.
5. The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure
blade is completely through material before continuing
with pocketcut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge
of the pivoting shoe as aguide.
Project Tips
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put
less strain on the motor whilecutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the pivoting shoe is
resting against the workpiece. This will improve operator
control and minimizevibration.
• For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades or carbide
tipped blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded
to high speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible
and less prone tobreaking.
Cutting (Fig. A, G–K)
The blade
11
should extend past the pivoting shoe
4
and
the thickness of the workpiece throughout the cut. Select
the blade best suitable for the material to be cut and use the
shortest blade suitable for the thickness of thematerial.
NOTE: Do not use jigsaw blades with thistool.
NOTE: Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly
anchored or clamped to preventslipping.
• Place blade
11
and pivoting shoe
4
lightly against work
to becut.
• Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum
speed before applyingpressure.
• Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting as
shown in Fig. G. Whenever possible, the pivoting shoe
must be held firmly against the material being cut. This
will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and will
minimize bladebreakage.
Wood Cutting (Fig. G, I)
1. Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the workpiece
is firmly anchored or clamped to preventslipping.
2. Place blade
11
and pivoting shoe
4
firmly against work
tobecut.
3. Switch on saw motor before starting thecut.
4. Always hold saw firmly as shown in Fig. G while cutting.
Whenever possible, the pivoting shoe must be held
firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent
the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize
bladebreakage.
Metal Cutting (Fig. J)
1. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for
non-ferrousmaterials.
2. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to
the underside of the sheet. This will ensure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing ofmetal.
3. Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and
causes costly bladebreakage.
NOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant
along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation
and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene
ispreferred.
the tool, slide lock button to the locked position. When in
the locked position, the tool is locked and the trigger switch
cannot be pulled.
To unlock the trigger switch, press the lock button as
shown in FigureH. Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor
ON. Releasing the trigger switch turns the motorOFF.
WARNING: This tool has no provision to lock the
switch in the ON position, and should never be locked
ON by any othermeans.
The variable speed trigger switch will give you added
versatility. The further the trigger is depressed the higher the
speed of thesaw.
CAUTION: Use of very slow speed is recommended
only for beginning a cut. Prolonged use at very slow
speed may damage yoursaw.
