TABLE DES MATIÈRES

**********************************************************************

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
  ■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

■ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

■ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

■ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

■ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

■ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

■ Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

PERSONAL SAFETY

■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

■ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

■ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

■ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.

■ Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

INSTALLING/REMOVING BLADES

See Figure 3, page 12.

The tool-free blade clamp does not require the use of a blade wrench when installing or removing the blade.

NOTE: The jig saw is designed to use T-shank blades only.

To install blades:

■ Remove the battery pack.

■ Rotate the blade clamp lever away from the orbital adjustment knob until resistance is felt on the lever, and hold in place.

■ Insert the saw blade as far as possible into the slot in the saw bar. Some resistance may be felt in doing this.

- Check to make sure the back of the saw blade is centered in the groove of the blade-support roller.

■ Release the blade clamp lever. Make sure the blade is securely in place.

■ Reinstall the battery pack.

NOTE: Check that the blade is inserted fully and completely secured. Blade will lock into position when correctly installed. Do not use the tool if the blade is not installed correctly.

To remove blades:

■ Remove the battery pack.
■ Allow blade to cool.

■ Rotate the blade clamp lever away from the orbital adjustment knob until resistance is felt on the lever, and hold in place.

■ Remove the saw blade.

GENERAL CUTTING

See Figure 4, page 12.

Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on the workpiece. Start the saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.

NOTICE:

Do not force the saw. Forcing the saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

The variable speed lever is located on top of the saw handle, above the switch trigger.

To increase or decrease the cutting speed:

• Hold the saw in normal operating position. Gradually push the speed lever to the positive (+) symbol to increase speed. Push to the negative (−) symbol to decrease speed.
  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. Adjust the variable speed lever 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 the saw to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the saw by running it without a load and at full speed.

Use these guidelines to determine 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.

0	Counter Top, Laminate Board	Wood Cutting Blade	10-12 (Down Stroke Blade)	Max Speed No Orbit
	Thin Sheet Metal Metal	Cutting Blade 14-24		Slow - Medium Speed	No Orbit
1	Plastics and PVC Wood	Cutting Blade 10-12 Medium Speed Minima	Orbit
	Scrolling or Curving Cuts in Wood	Scrolling Wood Blade 10-12 Max Speed Minimal Orbit
2	Plywood, Decking and Hardwood	Wood Cutting Blade 6-12		Medium - Max Speed	Medium Orbit
3	General Lumber and Soft Wood	Wood Cutting Blade 6-10		Medium - Max Speed	Maximum Orbit

ORBITAL MOTION

See Figure 6, page 12.

The blade of the saw cuts in an orbital motion. This feature is adjustable and provides faster, more efficient cutting. With orbital motion the blade cuts through the work on the upstroke but does not drag across the work on the downstroke. To adjust the orbital motion, rotate the orbital adjustment knob to the desired setting. Refer to the chart to find the right setting for your application.

NOTE: Setting the orbital position to a lower setting will result in a smoother finish but slower cut. A higher setting will result in a rougher finish but faster cut.

OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE (NOT INCLUDED)

See Figure 7, page 12.

An optional edge guide may be purchased separately. It can be used for making crosscuts and rip cuts.

■ Remove the battery pack.
- Insert the edge guide through the two slots in the base of the saw.
■ Adjust to the desired width and lock in place with the edge guide screw.
■ Reinstall the battery pack.

SCROLL CUTTING

See Figure 8, page 13.

Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle.

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 9, page 13.

Depending on the thickness of the material being cut, you may need to drill a pilot hole before making plunge cuts.

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.

To make plunge cuts using pilot holes:

■ Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
- Drill a pilot hole inside the area marked by the line of cut. The pilot hole should be large enough to slide the blade through the material.
■ Slowly lower the blade through the pilot hole in the workpiece until the base contacts the workpiece. Fully squeeze the switch trigger to start the saw.
- Do not move the base forward until the blade is entirely through the workpiece and the base is in complete contact with the workpiece.
■ Move the saw forward to complete the opening.

To make plunge cuts without using pilot holes:

■ Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.

OPERATION

■ Tilt the jig 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 tool is turned on.
■ Make sure the blade is aligned with the area to be cut.
■ Fully squeeze the switch trigger and slowly lower the blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through the workpiece.
■ Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the base rests flat on the work surface, then move the jig saw forward to complete the opening.
■ Use only the 7 teeth per inch blade for this type of cut.

BEVEL CUTTING (ANGLE CUTTING)

See Figure 10, page 13.

With the tool-free base adjustment, you can make quick changes to the bevel setting. The base can be angled 45^ left or right for bevel cutting, with positive stops at 0^ and 45^ (left or right). Positioning the stop against the other side of the 45^ stop (left or right) is 30^ . Positioning the stop on the other side of 0^ (left or right) will set the base at 15^ . A protractor is recommended when accurate cuts are required.

■ Remove the battery pack.
■ Rotate the base adjustment lever forward to loosen the base.
■ Slide the base forward. Rotate base left or right until the bevel scale indicator is positioned at the desired bevel angle. If the selected angle is 0^ or 45^ , interface the tab on the base support with the appropriate notch on the base.

NOTE: When making a setup for accurate cuts with a protractor, or for angles other than 0^ or 45^ (left or right), the positive stop notches on the rear of the base are not used.

■ Slide the base back (toward the rear of the tool) until the tab of the base support contacts the base or fits within a notch on the base.
■ Push the base adjustment lever firmly back into place. Make sure that the base is properly set before starting the jig saw.
■ Reinstall the battery pack.

METAL CUTTING

See Figure 11, page 13.

NOTE: The jig saw must be in the no-orbit mode to cut metals and conduit. Set the orbital adjustment knob to "0." Refer to the Orbital Motion section earlier in this manual for more details.

Many kinds of metals can be cut with the saw using a metal cutting blade. Be careful not to twist or bend the blades. Do not force. If the blade chatters or vibrates excessively, use a finer-tooth metal-cutting blade. If blade heats excessively, use lower speed. If blade teeth become filled or clogged when cutting soft metals, such as aluminum, use a coarser-tooth blade or lower speed. We recommend use of lubricant when cutting metals to keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life. Clamp the work firmly and saw close to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being cut.

When cutting conduit, pipe, or angle iron, clamp work in a vise if possible and saw close to the vise. To cut thin sheet materials, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing. By doing this, the material will be cut smoothly. Lay out your pattern or line of cut on top of the "sandwich."

NOTE: When cutting metal, keep exposed portion of saw bar clean and free of metal chips by wiping frequently with an oily cloth. Use extreme caution in disposing of oily cloth after completion of job to prevent potential fire hazard.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
