Using the straight-edge guide (fig 12)
The edge guide (included) is used for straight
cutting:
WARNING!
Always unplug the saw from the
power source before making any
adjustment or attaching accessories.
1. Unplug the saw from the power source.
2. Insert the bar of the edge guide through the
slots in the base of the orbital Jigsaw. It can be inserted from either side of the base, with the edge
guide facing down.
3. Screw the edge-guide locking knob into the threaded hole in the base in order to tighten the edge-
guide bar in place.
4. Measure the distance from the edge of the workpiece to the cutting line. Slide the edge guide to
this desired distance, and tighten the locking knob to secure the edge guide in place (fig 12).
5. Follow the cutting instructions in this manual to set up and proceed with the cut.
Plunge cutting (fig 11)
WARNING!
Allow the blade to come to the full
selected speed before contacting the
workpiece.
Plunge cutting is useful and timesaving for making
rough openings in soft materials. It makes it
unnecessary to drill a hole for an inside or pocket
cut.
1. Draw lines for the opening you want to cut.
2. Hold the saw firmly, and tilt it forward so that the toe of the base plate rests on the workpiece.
3. Make sure that the blade is well clear of the workpiece.
4. Start the saw and then gradually lower the blade into the workpiece, firmly holding the toe of the
saw base to prevent side wobbling.
5. Slowly pivot the saw downward, as if on a hinge, until the blade cuts through and the base rests
flat on the workpiece.
6. Begin sawing along the cutting line in the usual manner.
WARNING!
Do not use a scroll blade for plunge cutting.
WARNING!
Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials, such as hardwoods like oak or maple, or metal
such as steel.
