4.1 Blade Installation

The HYCHIKA Jig Saw features a quick-release chuck for tool-free blade changes.

1. Rotate the blade switch 90 degrees.
2. Insert the saw blade with the saw teeth facing outward until you hear a 'bip' sound, indicating it is securely seated.
3. Release the blade switch to its original position. Ensure the blade switch is fully returned to its original position; otherwise, the blade may fall off during operation.

Figure 4.1: Blade installation process.

4.2 Adjusting Cutting Angle (Bevel Cutting)

The base plate can be adjusted for bevel cuts from -45° to 45°.

• Loosen the screws on the base plate.
• Tilt the base plate to the desired angle. Use a protractor for precise angles if needed.
• Tighten the screws securely to lock the base plate in position.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off and Speed Control

To start the jig saw, press the On/Off switch. To maintain continuous operation, press the lock-on button while the trigger is engaged. To stop, release the On/Off switch or press it again if the lock-on button is active.

The jig saw features 6 variable speed settings (800-3000 SPM) controlled by the speed adjusting knob. Adjust the speed according to the material being cut:

• Position 1-2: Plastic, Steel Plate
• Position 3-4: Stainless Plate, Aluminum
• Position 5-6: Wood

5.2 Cutting Materials

The jig saw is suitable for cutting wood, metal, and plastic. Always select the appropriate blade and orbital setting for the material.

Figure 5.1: Jig Saw in use for different materials.

When cutting, hold the jig saw firmly with enough force to decrease vibration, ensuring the base plate remains flush with the material for more precise cutting. The maximum cutting depth is 110 mm for wood and 10 mm for metal.

5.3 Laser Guide and Scale Ruler

Activate the built-in laser guide using its dedicated On/Off switch to assist with cutting direction and improve precision. The included guide ruler can be used to maintain a consistent cutting width.

5.4 Dust Collection System

The jig saw features a dust blow button to clear the cutting line. For more comprehensive dust management, connect a vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction port (if applicable to your model) to keep your work area clean.
