Beveling the Shoe (fi g. 7)
To unlock the shoe, pull the keyless bevel lever (f)
to the side.
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 (g) 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
(fi g. 8)
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 (h) 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 (fi g. 9)
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 (i) all the way to the top.
To turn the dust blower off, slide the dust blower
control all the way to the bottom.

Removeable Anti-Scratch Shoe
Cover (fi g. 10)
The anti-scratch shoe cover (j) should be used
when cutting surfaces that scratch easily, such as
laminate, veneer or paint.
To attach anti-scratch shoe cover (j), place the front
of the aluminum shoe (g) into the front of the anti-
scratch shoe cover and lower the jig saw. The anti-
scratch shoe cover will click securely onto the rear of
aluminum shoe.
To remove anti-scratch shoe cover, grasp the anti-
scratch shoe cover from the bottom; holding onto
the two rear tabs (m) remove the anti-scratch shoe
cover.
Anti-Splinter Insert (fi g. 11)
NOTE: Do not use the anti-splinter insert with the
flush cutting blade.
The anti-splinter insert (n) should be used when
trying to minimize tear-out, especially when cutting
veneer, laminate, or finished surfaces, such as paint.
The anti-splinter insert should be installed into the
anti-scratch shoe cover (j). If the no-mar cover is not
used, install anti-splinter insert into shoe (g).
