WARNING
- Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. - Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
- Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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.
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 a 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 energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
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.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR JIGSAWS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Secure material before cutting. Never hold it in your hand or across legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON". Before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
Be aware of the location and setting of the switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch is locked "ON" during the use, be ready for emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by first pulling the trigger then immediately releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON" button.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut. The proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can break easily or cause kickback.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.
Make certain all adjusting screws and the blade holder are tight before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of control may result.
When removing the blade from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the blade or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a SKIL Factory Service Center or Authorized SKIL Service Station.

NOTICE: Determine the optimum speed for cutting your workpiece by making a trial cut in a scrap piece of the same material. Experience will help you to determine the best results for a particular application. However, as a rule, use slower speeds for harder, denser materials, and faster speeds for softer material.
The variable-speed feature of this jigsaw enhances the cutting performance and saves the blade from undue wear.
Use the variable-speed dial to adjust the speed of the blade. Turn the dial from setting 1 to setting 6 to increase the speed and from setting 6 to setting 1 to decrease the speed (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with no visible text or symbolsOrbital Action
This saw is equipped with an orbital control that allows you to choose the best cutting action for your material.
Simply turn the lever to the desired position for the type of cut you are making.
Turn the lever to a higher setting to increase the orbital action. Turn the lever to a lower setting to decrease the orbital action.
There are four orbital action cutting settings that may be chosen, according to different types of material (Fig. 8).
Setting 0: accurate cutting in all materials (straight and curved cuts).
Setting 1: fast cutting in metal (straight cuts only).
Setting 2: fast cutting in plastic (straight cuts only).
Setting 3: fast cutting in hard wood (straight cuts only).
Fig. 8

text_image
0 1 2 3NOTICE: Always make test cuts in scrap material first to determine the best setting.
NOTICE: Always select "0" when sawing splinter-sensitive material.
NOTICE: In order to reach full orbital action. The blade must be facing straight forward, the back of the blade must be resting in the groove of the roller, and the foot must be positioned all the way forward. Orbital action is not detectable when the saw is running freely. The saw must be cutting in order for orbital action to occur. The cutting speed is easier to see when cutting thicker material.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always allow the jig saw to come to a complete stop before changing the orbital function setting.
Dust-Blowing Slide Switch
To blow sawdust, move the switch to the blowing setting 0 (Fig. 9).
To turn off the blowing function, move the switch to setting 1 (Fig. 10).
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always allow the jig saw to come to a complete stop before changing the dust blowing setting.

Cutting Tips
Face the good side of the material down and secure it in a bench vise or clamp it down. Draw cutting lines or designs on the side of the material facing up towards you. Then place the front edge of the saw foot on the work and align the blade with the line to be cut. Hold the jigsaw firmly, turn it on, and press down (to keep the saw foot flat against the work) as you slowly push the saw in the direction of the cut.
Gradually increase the cutting rate, cutting close to the line (unless you want to leave stock for finish sanding). As you cut you may need to adjust or relocate the vise or clamps to keep the work stable. Do not force the saw or the blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting and the blade may break. Let the saw do most of the work. When following curves, cut slowly so the blade can cut through cross grain. This will give you an accurate cut and will prevent the blade from wandering.

text_image
Fig. 16 Line Of Cut Foot Against Straight-Edge ClampsCutting with a Straightedge
Use a roughcut blade whenever possible. Clamp a straightedge on the work parallel to the line of cut and flush with the side of the saw foot. (Either first mark the line of cut and then position the straightedge parallel and at the same distance as between the blade and the side edge of the foot or first mark the side edge of the foot and then clamp the straightedge on the mark and parallel to the cut line (Fig. 16).
As you cut, keep the saw foot edge flush against the straightedge and flat on the workpiece (Fig. 16).
Metal Cutting
When cutting metal, clamp the material down securely. Be sure to move the saw along slowly. Use lower speeds. Do not twist, bend, or force the blade. If the saw jumps or bounces, use a blade with finer teeth. If the blade seems clogged when cutting soft metal, use a blade with coarser teeth.
- For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax, if available, or cutting oil when cutting steel.
- Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood or tightly clamped on a single piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut lines or design on the top piece of wood.
- When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench vise and saw close to the vise jaws.
- When sawing tubing and the diameter is larger than the blade is deep, cut through the wall of the tubing and then insert the blade into the cut rotating the tube as you saw.
Plunge Cutting
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving when making rough openings in softer materials. It is not necessary to drill a hole for an inside or pocket cut. Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials, such as steel.
- Draw lines for the opening,
-
Hold the saw firmly and tilt it forward so that the toe of the saw foot rests on the work, but with the blade well clear of the work.
-
Start the motor, and then very gradually lower the blade.
-
When the blade touches, continue pressing down on the toe of the saw foot while slowly
pivoting the saw like a hinge until the blade cuts through and the foot rests flat on the work.
- Then saw ahead on the line of cut line.
We do not recommend plunge cutting with a scroll blade (Fig.17).
To make sharp corners, cut up to the corner, then back up slightly before rounding the corner. After the opening is complete, go back to each corner and cut it from the opposite direction to square it off. Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials such as steel.
