WARNING: Wear safety gloves when handling saw blades. The
jig saw blade is sharp and fragile and must be handled carefully to
avoid injury to the user and damage to the blade.
1. Make sure the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power sup-
ply. Wear safety gloves to protect your hands.
2. Set the blade orbit selector to position 3 (Fig. 1).
3. Pull the blade change lever (Fig. 2 - 1) clockwise to release the holder
grip. Insert the blade shank into the blade holder while the lever is pulled.
NOTE: The teeth of the blade should be facing forward, and the back of
the blade should rest in the grooves in the roller guide. The “T” part of the
blade shank must be completely inserted into the blade holder (Fig. 3).
4. Release the blade change lever to hold the blade in place. Pull on the
blade to check that it is properly fitted inside the holder.
WARNING: If the blade is not properly installed, it may eject
from the jigsaw unexpectedly during operation and result in per-
sonal injury.
5. When removing the blade, make sure to direct the blade away from your-
self or bystanders in case the blade ejects. Hold the blade with one hand
and pull the blade change lever holder (Fig. 2 - 1) clockwise to release the
holder grip. Pull out the blade from the holder.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched off and discon-
nected from the power supply before inspecting the unit, making adjustments or changing accessories.
INSTALLING/REPLACING THE JIG SAW BLADE (Fig. 1 to 3)
The jig saw is capable of cutting a variety of materials when fitted with the correct blade. Always select the suitable
blade for your operation. Your jig saw comes with a wood-cutting blade and a metal-cutting blade. Generally, use
coarse-toothed blades for faster and rougher cuts. Use fined-toothed blades for smoother and more precise cuts.
Use very fine-toothed blades for plastic, aluminum and steel cutting operations. Always use sharp and straight
blades and replace the blade when it becomes dull or damaged.
This jigsaw is equipped with a tool-less blade changing system for fast and easy changes of T-shank blades. This
jigsaw does not accept U-shank blades. Use only blades designated for use with this model. Jig saw blades cannot
and should not be re-sharpened. Replacement jig saw blades (Model 33606BW and 33606BM) can be purchased
from wenproducts.com.
