plate (14) down and remove the cover plate
(see figure G).
Anti-splinter guard (see figure I)
NOTE
Do not use the anti-splinter guard (13) when
making bevel/angle cuts.
To install the anti-splinter guard
■ Remove the battery.
■ Insert the anti-splinter guard (13) into the
cover plate (14) from the front, but not far
enough to touch the blade.
■ Attach the battery pack.
■ Turn the saw on and press the front of the
anti-splinter guard (13) against a workbench
to allow the saw blade to cut into the guard
(13) as it slides the rest of the way into the
cover plate (14).
To remove the anti-splinter guard
■ Turn off the jig saw and remove the battery.
■ Remove the saw blade and pull out the anti-
splinter guard (13) directly.
Dust extraction tube (see figure J)
To install the dust extraction tube
■ Remove the battery.
■ Insert the dust extraction tube (11) into the
opening at the rear of the jig saw until the
rib (J-1) on the tube hits the jig saw .
To remove the dust extraction tube
■ Lift the end of the dust extraction tube (11)
upwards and pull out to remove it.
■ The dust extraction tube (11) can be
connected to a vacuum adapter (sold
separately).
Hex key storage (see figure K)
■ When not in use, store the hex key (10) as
shown in the figure K to keep it from being
loss.
Adjust the bevel angle
(see figure L&M)
NOTE
Before adjusting the bevel angle of the base,
remove dust extraction tube (11) and anti-
splinter guard (13) if used.
The base can be tilted at 0° to 45° (left or
right) for bevel setting.
18
To set the bevel angle
■ Remove the battery.
■ Turn the tool upside down and use the hex
key(10) to loosen hex screw (L-1) by turning
it counterclockwise.
■ Push the base (5) slightly towards the front
of the tool and tilt it to the desired angle
(0° – 45°) by using the scale that is marked
on the bracket. Then push the base slightly
towards the back of the tool and tighten
the hex screw (L-1) by turning it clockwise.
Speed adjusting dial
(see figure N)
The tool speed can be adjusted by turing
the speed adjusting dial (8). You can get the
highest speed at 5 and the lowest speed at 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed
for the work piece to be cut. However, the
appropriate speed may differ with the type or
thickness of the workpiece. In general,higher
speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be
reduced.
When the speed adjusting dial (8) is in the
position A, the tool automatically reduces the
no-load speed to reduce the vibration under
no-load. Once the tool gets load, the tool
speed reaches the highest value.

Orbital action settings
(see figure O)
The tool is equipped with four orbital-action
settings for optimal adaptation to the cutting
speed, cutting capacity, cutting pattem, and
the material being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the
orbital control lever (6).
The optimal orbital action setting for the
respective application can be determined
through practical testing. The following
recommendations apply:
