BLADE INSTALLATION
Set the blade orbit selector lever to position III.
Push blade change button downward as far as
it will go and turn the top handle three turns
counterclockwise (viewed from the top of the
tool).
Insert the blade into blade plunger at a 90˚
angle to the cutting direction. With a slight
upward pressure, turn the blade teeth forward
(direction of cut) and guide the back of the
blade into the groove in the center of blade
roller guide. Pull gently down on the blade to
seat the blade tabs in the plunger.

SLIDE "ON-OFF" SWITCH
The Tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch
located at the side of the motor housing.
TO TURN TOOL "ON": slide the switch
forward.
TO TURN TOOL "OFF": slide the switch
backward.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
This tool is equipped with a Variable Speed
Dial. The stroke rate of the Blade Plunger may
be controlled by presetting the dial in any one
of six positions.

PLUNGER SPEED
The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate
required depends on the material being cut,
the type of blade used, and the feed rate
preferred by the operator. The best speed for
a particular application is largely determined by
experience, though as a general rule, slower
speeds are for denser materials and faster
speeds for soft materials. Note that when the
jigsaw is used at low speed settings for any

Assembly
With the blade in the proper position, turn top
handle clockwise until a noticable "Clic" sound
is heard, indicating that the blade is locked in
place.
Push blade change button upward to its
original position (flush with the top of the top
handle), and the saw is ready for use.
Removing the blade is essentially the reverse
of the installation procedure, however, take
note that once the blade change button is
loosened, gently push the blade upward to
release the blade tabs from the plunger.

Operating Instructions
length of time, the motor temperature will rise
due to the slower speed of the internal cooling
fan.
In such cases, it is necessary to
occasionally run the tool at full speed for a few
minutes to keep the motor operating at high
efficiency.
Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained
by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to
suit the material being cut. The following chart
will help you determine which setting to use for
your application. This chart is intended as a
guideline only, and test cuts in scrap material
should be performed first to determine the
best setting.
