• If you press the lock on button while the trigger switch is depressed, the switch is
kept in the operating position. This is convenient when continuous operating for
extended periods of time is required.
• To release the lock on button, press and release the trigger switch.
NOTE: Always lift the jig saw from the work before switching on or switch off.
3. Operation for working
a. General cutting
Ensure that the blade is the correct type for the application and that the length extends
through the work-piece on the upstroke of the cut.
1. Determine how the jig saw is best configured for the job and make the
required adjustment.
2. Switch on the jig saw and allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
3. Slowly guide the jig saw forward, building up speed as you go, keeping the
shoe plate at against the work-piece.
NOTE: Do not force the jig saw. Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting. Do
not force the cutting, allow the blade and the saw to do the work.
b. Metal cutting
1. When cutting metal ALWAYS clamp down the metal work-piece.
2. Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly as you cut. Use slower
speeds (Position 1, 2 or 3 on the Speed Control). DO NOT twist, bend or force
the blade.
3. When cutting metals, suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used. Squirt the
lubricant onto the blade or work-piece at regular intervals during cutting in
order to reduce wear on the blade.
4. If the saw jumps or bounces as you cut, change to a blade with finer teeth.
5. If the blade begins to clog when cutting soft metal, change to a blade with
coarser teeth.
6. For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax (if available)
or cutting oil when cutting steel.
7. Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood or tightly
clamped on a single piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut
lines or design on the top piece of wood.
8. When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench
vice and saw close to the vice jaws.
9. When sawing tubing with a diameter larger than the blade is deep, cut through
the wall of the tubing and then insert the blade into the cut, rotating the tube
as you saw.
