GENERALCUTTING

See Figure 6.

Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align

cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece.

Start your saw and move it forward on the work surface.

Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and

only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.

DO NOT FORCE YOUR SAW

Forcing your saw may overheat the motor and break saw

blades. Broken saw blades must be discarded. Remove

the broken portion of the saw blade from the clamp and

install a new saw blade.

ORBITAL MOTION

See Figure 6.

The blade of your saw cuts in orbital motion. This feature

is adjustable and provides faster more efficient cutting.

The blade cuts through your work in the upstroke but

does not drag across your work in the downstroke. The

higher settings should be used when fast cutting in soft

material is desired. The lower settings should be used

when cutting materials with more resistance.

STRAIGHT CUT

See Figure 6.

A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood

or straightedge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of

your saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only.

Don't cut halfway and complete the cut from the opposite

end.

SCROLL CUTTING

See Figure 7.

Scroll cuts can be made with your jig saw by guiding the

direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as

shown in figure 7.

,_ WARNING: Excessive side pressure to the blade

could result in broken blades or damage to the

material being cut.
