GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your drill press works. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in the Jig Saw until the following steps have been read and understood. 1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards. 2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED) 15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR JIG SAW 1. Always keep hands and fingers away from the blade. 2. Do not cut material that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used. 3. Make sure blade is securely locked. 4. Make sure key wrench is removed before turning power on. 5. Always stop the saw before removing scrap pieces. 6. Use clamps or a vise to secure workpiece. 7. Set the jig saw to the speed appropriate for the job. 8.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR JIG SAW (CONTINUED) 22. Always turn off saw before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to a power source. 23. Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate tool when you are tired. DO NOT RUSH! 24. Make sure work area has ample lighting to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your saw. 25. Save these instructions.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
BLADE INSTALLATION Caution: Before installing or changing a blade, be sure the saw is unplugged from the power supply. 1. Loosen the two blade lock bolts (use hex key supplied) enough for a blade to be removed or inserted. Note: there is a position notch in the blade cover and the back plate to which the blade clip is screwed. 2. Insert blade in slot with teeth facing forward. The blade’s top should be inserted far enough to touch blade clip. 3.
MITER CUTS The base plate can be tilted to cut any angle between 0º and 45º right and left. Loosen the two base plate adjustment screws. Then slide the base plate toward the back of the saw. Rotate the base left or right to the desired angle, slide the base plate forward until the blade guide is in the correct position, then tighten base plate screws. Note: the base plate has a scale for setting 45º and 90º angles. Use a protractor to set other angels.
