Bevel cutting (fig 8)
WARNING!
Always unplug the saw from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching
accessories.
WARNING!
In order to prevent damage to the tool when angle or bevel cutting, the scroll mechanism
MUST BE locked in place, with the cutting edge of the blade facing the front of the tool.
1. Unplug the saw from the power source.
2. To adjust the cutting angle, turn the tool upside down and use the supplied hex wrench to loosen
the hex screw that secures the blade guide assembly located on the underside of the tool.
3. Loosen the hex screw that secures the base plate. Move the base plate slightly forward and tilt it to
the required angle (between 0° and 45°), using the scale that is marked on the base bracket. The
base plate has indents at 0° and ±45° for easy angle setting.
4. Slide the blade guide assembly until the blade guide rests against the back edge of the blade.
5. Retighten the hex screws. In order to ensure accurate work, it is necessary to make a trial cut,
measure the work, and reset the angle until the correct setting is achieved.
The edge guide (fig 9)
This accessory is used for straight cutting: Insert
the bar of the edge guide through the slots in the
base of the jigsaw (fig 9). The bar of the edge
guide can be inserted from either side of the base.
General cutting tips
WARNING!
Allow the blade to come to the full selected speed before contacting the workpiece.
1. Always place the best or “finished” side of the workpiece “face down” so that it does not get
scraped or damaged while sawing. Always clamp the workpiece securely before sawing.
2. Draw your cutting lines, patterns or designs on the “backside”, facing you. This means that they
should be reversed or backwards from the way they will appear on the“finished” side.
3. Always select the correct blade for your cutting application.
4. Place the front edge of the saw base on the material to be cut, without touching the blade to the
workpiece and line up the blade with your cutting line.
5. Hold the saw firmly, and turn it on.
6. Press down (to keep the base plate flat against the workpiece) as you slowly push the blade into
the workpiece.
7. Gradually build up the blade speed, cutting as close to the line as possible (unless you wish to leave
enough room for finishing sanding).
8. You may need to reposition the vise or clamps as you cut in order to keep the workpiece stable.
9. Do not force the saw, because the blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting, which may result
in a broken blade.
10. Let the saw do most of the work.
11. Always cut slowly when following curves, so that the blade can cut through cross grain. This will
provide an accurate cut, and will prevent the blade from wandering.
NOTICE:Always apply a steady, firm “DOWNWARD” pressure on the front and body of the saw as you
cut. This will keep the saw blade from jumping out of the workpiece.
