IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (For All Tools) WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. 2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don‘t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don’t expose power tools t o rain.
14. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking t o see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. 15. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in tool w i t h finger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in. 16. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked. 17. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don't operate tool when you are tired. 18.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES 1. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation. 2. Don't cut hollow pipe. 3. Do not cut oversize workpiece. 4. Check for the proper clearance beneath the workpiece before cutting so that the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc. 5. Hold the tool firmly. 6. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 7. Keep hands away from moving parts. 8.
Installing Makita jig saw blade CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the blade. Use the hex wrench to loosen the bolt. With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade into the blade holder as far as it will go. Make sure that the back edqe of the blade fits into the roller and tighten the bolt securely with the hex wrench.
Installing universal shank jig saw blade CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the blade. If the universal blade clamp is used, you can use blades of other makes which have a universal shank like the one shown in the figure, with a blade width of 6.35 mm (1/4"). I Insert the blade into the blade holder as far as it will go.
Straight line or orbital cutting action Conventional jig saws cut with a straight line action, that is, the blade moves only up and down in a straight line. Your saw also cuts in this manner but, for softer workpieces, an orbital cutting action can be selected. Soft workpieces like wood and plastic permit deep penetration of individual saw teeth. The orbital action thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and greatly increases cutting speed over conventional jig saws.
Speed change To adjust the tool speed, turn the speed change dial while the tool is running under no load. The tool speed can be adjusted between 1,000 and 3,000 strokes per minute. The reference table on the right denotes the relationship between the number settings on the speed change dial and the approximate strokes per minute a t that setting.
Operation Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool forward along the previously marked cutting line. When cutting curves, advance the tool very slowly. I CAUTION : Failure to hold the tool base flush with the workpiece may cause blade breakage. Bevel cutting With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts a t any angle between 0" and 45" (left or right).
Front flush cuts Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench, then slide the base backwards. Check the contact between the back edge of the blade and the roller, then secure the bolt. Plunge cutting Starting a cut a t other than the edge of the workpiece without first drilling a starting hole requires a "plunge cut". This can be accomplished by tipping the tool forward until the front end of the base rests against the workpiece.
Using guide rule (Rip fence) When cutting widths of under 150 m m (6") repeatedly, use of the guide rule will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. To attach the guide rule (rip fence), secure the rule holder to the base with the screw (do not tighten). Insert the guide rule between the base and the rule holder. Now tighten the screw with the hex wrench. Guide Using circular guide Use of the circular guide insures clean, smooth cutting of circles (radius; under 200 m m ; 7-7/8") and arcs.
To attach the circular guide, use the pin, inserting it in the center hole (arrow) and secure it with the threaded knob. Then slide the base of the tool forwards. The circular guide attaches to the base of the tool in the same manner as the guide rule (rip fence). I F i t pin into this hole Pin for circular guide Metal cutting Always use a suitable coc._rnt (cutting c 1 when cutting metal. Failure to do s o will cause significant blade wear.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. The tool will stop when the carbon brushes wear to a certain length. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be replaced. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
