CAUTION
○ Always make sure to push in the lock off button to
the locked position when not using the saw.
○ Do not look directly into the light from the LED
lamp. Continuous and direct exposure to the light
from the LED lamp can injure your eyes.
6. Adjusting the orbital operation
(1) This Jig Saw employs orbital operation which moves
the blade back and forth, as well as up and down. Set
the change knob shown in Fig. 11 to "0" to eliminate
the orbital operation (the blade moves only up and
down). The orbital operation can be selected in 4
steps from "0" to "III".
(2) For the hard material, such as a steel plate, etc.,
decrease the orbital operation. For the soft material,
such as lumber, plastic, etc., increase the orbital
operation to increase work effi ciency. To cut the
material accurately, decrease the orbital operation.
7. Cutting stainless steel plates
This Jig Saw can cut stainless steel plates by using
No. 97 blade. Carefully read "Concerning cutting of
stainless steel plates" for proper operation.
8. Splinter guard
Using the splinter guard when cutting wood materials
will reduce splintering of cut surfaces.
Insert the splinter guard in the space on the base, and
push it completely. (See Fig. 12)
9. Chip cover
Chip cover prevents chips from fl ying off and improves
the effi ciency of dust collector.
Insert the chip cover between the base and lever, and
push with a slight pressure until it catches in place. (Fig. 13)
When removing chip cover, hold both sides of knob and slightly open until it can be
removed from the Jig Saw. (Fig. 14).
NOTE
There is a possibility that chip cover is frosted when cutting the metal.
10. Sub base
Using the sub base (made from steel) will reduce abrasion of aluminium base especially in
cutting metals.
Using the sub base (made from resin) will reduce scratching of cut surface. Attach the sub
base to the bottom surface of base by attached 4 screws.
