OPERATION If you desire to lock the switch on at a given speed, depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button, and release the switch trigger. Next, adjust the variable speed control selector until the desired speed is reached. Avoid running the saw at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause your saw to become overheated. If this occurs, cool your saw by running it without a load and at full speed. The following guidelines may be used in determining correct speed for various applications: LOW speed is ideal when minimum speed and power is required, for example, starting cuts. MEDIUM speed is suitable for cutting hard metals, plastics, and laminates. HIGH speed produces best results when maximum power is required, for example, cutting wood. Soft metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper may also require high speeds. WARNING: Do not insert saw blade into air vents. They could come in contact with electrically live internal parts, and cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury. LED LIGHT See Figure 7. The LED light illuminates when the switch trigger is depressed to give you a clear view of the cut line on your work surface. USING THE LASER GUIDE See Figure 7. LED light Laser guide Fig. 7 WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam. Failure to heed this warning could result in possible serious personal injury. The laser unit comes from the factory already installed and aligned. If the laser becomes misaligned after time refer to the Adjustments section. TO DECREASE ORBITAL SETTING The jig saw is equipped with a laser guide to project a red line to show the cut path. Pull the switch trigger to engage the laser guide. The laser guide will turn on with the jig saw and continue to stay on for the cutting operation. The laser guide will turn off when the switch trigger is released. GENERAL CUTTING Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece. Make sure the power cord is out of your way and not in the line of cut. Start the saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady TO INCREASE ORBITAL SETTING 1 2 3 Fig. 8 and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting. Do not force the saw. Applying too much forward pressure to the saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades. 12 - English
