2. General Safety Instructions

Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

• Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Electrical Safety: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating noisy tools. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry. Secure long hair. Stay alert and use common sense.
• Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Jig Saw Specific Safety:
  • Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
  • Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece.
  • Ensure the blade is correctly installed and secured before operation.
  • Keep hands clear of the cutting area.

4. Setup

4.1 Blade Installation

1. Ensure Power is Disconnected: Always unplug the jig saw from the power source before installing or changing blades.
2. Open Blade Clamp: Locate the blade clamp mechanism (usually a lever or screw) and open it.
3. Insert Blade: Insert the shank of the appropriate jig saw blade into the blade clamp opening, ensuring the teeth face forward. Push the blade in until it seats firmly.
4. Secure Blade: Close the blade clamp mechanism securely. Gently pull on the blade to ensure it is locked in place.

4.2 Base Plate Adjustment (Bevel Cuts)

1. Ensure Power is Disconnected: Unplug the tool.
2. Loosen Base Plate Screws: Locate the screws or lever that secure the base plate. Loosen them sufficiently to allow the base plate to pivot.
3. Adjust Angle: Tilt the base plate to the desired bevel angle (e.g., 15°, 30°, 45°). Most jig saws have detents for common angles.
4. Tighten Screws: Securely tighten the base plate screws or lever to lock the angle in position.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Before Starting

• Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped.
• Select the appropriate blade for the material and cut type.
• Adjust the base plate for straight or bevel cuts as needed.
• Plug the tool into a suitable power outlet.

5.2 Making a Cut

1. Position the Tool: Place the front edge of the base plate flat on the workpiece, ensuring the blade is clear of the material.
2. Start the Cut: Depress the trigger switch to start the motor. Allow the blade to reach full speed before engaging the material.
3. Guide the Tool: Slowly guide the jig saw along your marked cutting line. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the tool; let the blade do the work.
4. Finish the Cut: Once the cut is complete, release the trigger switch and wait for the blade to stop completely before lifting the tool from the workpiece.

5.3 Plunge Cuts (Internal Cuts)

For internal cuts without a pilot hole, a plunge cut can be performed. This technique requires caution.

1. Tilt Tool: Tilt the jig saw forward so the front edge of the base plate rests on the workpiece, with the blade clear of the surface.
2. Start Motor: Start the motor and allow the blade to reach full speed.
3. Slowly Lower: Slowly lower the rear of the base plate until the blade begins to cut into the material.
4. Level Tool: Once the blade has fully penetrated the material, level the tool and proceed with the cut as usual.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your jig saw. Always disconnect the tool from the power source before performing any maintenance.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the ventilation openings to prevent motor overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the tool. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
• Blade Replacement: Replace dull or damaged blades promptly. Refer to section 4.1 for blade installation.
• Cord Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for damage. If damaged, have it repaired by a qualified service technician.
• Storage: Store the jig saw in a dry, secure location out of reach of children.
