LED WORK LIGHT (FIG. 11)
FIG. 11
Your tool is equipped with an LED work
light, located on the front of the tool. This
provides additional light on the surface of
the workpiece for operation in lower-light
areas.
The LED work light will automatically turn on
with a slight squeeze of the variable-speed
trigger switch before the tool starts running.
It will turn off approximately 10 seconds
after the variable-speed trigger switch is
released.
CUTTING TIPS
WARNING:
Before attaching the
battery pack onto the tool, always check
to determine that the switch performs
properly and returns to the “OFF” position
when released.
WARNING:
Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty,
also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of
control and serious injury, make sure that
the blade reaches the full desired speed
before touching it to the workpiece.
Face the good side of the material down
and secure it in a bench vise, or clamp it
down. Draw cutting lines or designs on the
side of the material facing towards you.
Place the front edge of the saw base on the
workpiece and align the blade with the line
to be cut. Hold the jig saw rmly, turn it on,
and press down to keep the saw base at
against the work as you slowly push the
saw into the workpiece in the direction of
the cut.
Gradually increase the cutting speed,
cutting close to the line (unless you want
to leave stock for nish sanding). You may
have to adjust or relocate the vise or clamps
as you cut to keep the work stable. Do not
force the saw, or the blade teeth may rub
and wear without cutting and the blade may
break. Let the saw do most of the work.
When following curves, cut slowly so that
the blade can cut across the grain. This will
give you an accurate cut and will prevent the
blade from wandering.

of the tool and thread the screws
clockwise 1–2 turns.
