OPERATION SCROLL CUTTING See Figure 12. Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as shown. NOTE: Tighter tolerance scroll cutting may require the use of a scroll cutting blade (not included). WARNING: Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in broken blades or damage to the material being cut. PLUNGE CUTTING See Figure 13. NOTE: Use only a 7-teeth-per-inch blade for this type of cut. WARNING: To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage to the material being cut, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts. We do not recommend plunge cutting on materials other than wood.  Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.  Set the orbit adjustment to "0".  Set the cutting angle at 0°.  Tilt the saw forward so that it rests on the front edge of the base and blade will not come in contact with the workpiece when the saw is turned on.  Make sure the blade is inside the area to be cut.  Using high speed, start the saw and slowly lower the blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through the wood.  Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the base rests flat on the work surface, then move the saw forward to complete the opening. 14 - English Fig. 12 Fig. 13

SCROLL CUTTING
See Figure 12.
Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the
direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as
shown.
NOTE:
Tighter tolerance scroll cutting may require the use
of a scroll cutting blade (not included).
WARNING:
Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in
broken blades or damage to the material being cut.
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 13.
NOTE:
Use only a 7-teeth-per-inch blade for this type of
cut.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage to
the material being cut, always use extreme caution when
making plunge cuts. We do not recommend plunge cut-
ting on materials other than wood.
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
Set the orbit adjustment to “0”.
Set the cutting angle at 0°.
Tilt the saw forward so that it rests on the front edge
of the base and blade will not come in contact with the
workpiece when the saw is turned on.
Make sure the blade is inside the area to be cut.
Using high speed, start the saw and slowly lower the
blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through the
wood.
Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the
base rests flat on the work surface, then move the saw
forward to complete the opening.
