To Install the Battery Pack into the Tool
Handle
1. Align the battery pack

with the rails inside the tool's
handle (Fig. D).
2. Slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated
in the tool and ensure that you hear the lock snap into place.
To Remove the Battery Pack from the Tool
1. Press the release button

out of the tool handle.
2. Insert battery pack into the charger as described in the
charger section of this manual.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. D)
Some D
WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button
18
. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge
in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.
Blade Installation and Removal (Fig. F)
To Install a Blade
nOTE: This jig saw uses only T-shank jig saw blades.
nOTE: The DT2074 flush cutting blade is for use with D
DCS331, DCS332, DW331 and DC330 jig saws only.
nOTE: When installing flush cutting blades (DT2074), the anti-
splinter insert must be removed and the shoe must to be in the
0° positive stop position.
1. Lift the keyless blade release lever
2. Insert the T-shank blade into the clamp mechanism
while guiding the back of the blade into the groove of the
guide rollers
12
.
3. The T-shank should be completely inside the clamp
mechanism as shown in Figure F.
4. Release the keyless blade release lever.
To Remove a blade
CAUTION: Do not touch used blades, they may be hot.
Personal injury may result.
1. Lift the keyless blade release lever
2. With a slight shake the blade will drop out.

To lock the shoe, push the keyless bevel lever back under the
body of the jigsaw.
To Bevel the Shoe
1. Unlock the shoe.
2. Slide the shoe
7
forward to release it from the 0° positive
stop position.
3. The shoe can be beveled to the left or to the right and
has detents at 15°, 30° and 45°. The shoe can be manually
stopped at any degree between 0° and 45°.
4. Once the desired bevel angle is achieved, lock the shoe
into place.
To Set Shoe Back to 0°
1. Unlock the shoe.
2. Rotate the shoe back to 0°.
3. Slide the shoe back into the 0° positive stop position.
4. Lock the shoe.
Cutting Action – Orbital or Straight (Fig. H)
This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, three orbital
and one straight. Orbital action has a more aggressive blade
motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood
or plastic. Orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a less
smooth cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade
moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up
and down motion.
nOTE: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action.
To adjust the cutting action, move the orbital action lever
8
between the four cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Position 0
is straight cutting. Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting. The
aggressiveness of the cut increase as the lever is adjusted from
one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.
Dust Blower (Fig. I)
The dust blower helps clear the cutting area of debris created
from the blade.
nOTE: When cutting metal, turn the dust blower off so cutting
fluids are not blown away from the blade.
To turn the dust blower on, slide the dust blower control
the way to the top.
To turn the dust blower off, slide the dust blower control all the
way to the bottom.
