One of the easiest ways to accomplish the flush cut is to use a flush cutting blade. The flush cutting blade provides the reach necessary to cut right up to the front edge of the jig saw shoe. Remove the anti-splinter insert and return the shoe to the 0° positive stop position before installing and using the flush cutting blade. For the best cut quality the flush cutting blade should be used in the 0 or 1 orbital position. The flush cutting blade should not be used to start the cut because the flush cutting blade prevents the shoe from being supported by the work surface. Use wood cutting practices explained below. Wood Cutting Support the workpiece adequately at all times. Use the higher speed setting for cutting wood. Do not attempt to turn the tool on when blade is against material to be cut. This could stall the motor. Place the front of shoe on the material to be cut and hold the jig saw shoe firmly against 11

The flush cutting blade provides the reach necessary to cut
