SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

GEB016-1

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to jig saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cutting so that the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

9. Keep hands away from moving parts.

10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
15. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are working with.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

- Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge.

- To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.

- To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.

- Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Selecting the cutting action (Fig. 2)

This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting action thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and greatly increases cutting speed.

To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action changing lever to the desired cutting action position.

Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.

Position	Cutting action	Applications
0	Straight line cutting action	For cutting mild steel, stainless steel and plastics.For clean cuts in wood and plywood.
I	Small orbit cutting action	For cutting mild steel, aluminum and hard wood.
II	Medium orbit cutting action	For cutting wood and plywood.For fast cutting in aluminum and mild steel.
III	Large orbit cutting action	For fast cutting in wood and plywood.

Switch action (Fig. 3 & 4)

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
• When not operating the tool, depress the lock-off button from A side to lock the switch trigger in the OFF position.

To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled, the lock-off button is provided.

To start the tool, depress the lock-off button from B side and pull the switch trigger.

Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. After use, always press in the lock-off button from A side.

Lighting up the lamps

CAUTION:

- Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.

To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger. Release the trigger to turn it off.

NOTE:

- Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing saw blade

CAUTION:

• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
• Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
• Tighten the saw blade securely. Failure to do so may cause a serious injury.
• When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of workpiece.

To install the blade, open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure. (Fig. 5)

Keeping that situation, insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as the two protrusions of the blade can not be seen. (Fig. 6)

Return the tool opener to its original position. After installing the saw blade, always make sure that the blade is securely held in place by trying to pull it out.

CAUTION:

- Do not open the tool opener excessively, or it may cause tool damage.

To remove the blade, open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure. (Fig. 7) Pull the saw blade out toward the base.

NOTE:

• Occasionally lubricate the roller.

Hex wrench storage (Fig. 8)

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the figure to keep it from being lost.

Cover plate (Fig. 9)

Use the cover plate when cutting decorative veneers, plastics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate surfaces from damage. Fit it on the back of the tool base.

Anti-splintering device (Fig. 10)

For splinter-free cuts, the anti-splintering device can be used. To install the anti-splintering device, move the tool base all the way forward and fit it from the back of tool base. When you use the cover plate, install the anti-splintering device onto the cover plate.

CAUTION:

- The anti-splintering device cannot be used when making bevel cuts.

Dust extraction

The dust nozzle (optional accessory) is recommended to perform clean cutting operations. (Fig. 11)

To attach the dust nozzle on the tool, insert the hook of dust nozzle into the hole in the base.

The dust nozzle can be installed on either left or right side of the base. (Fig. 12)

Then connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle. (Fig. 13)

OPERATION

CAUTION:

- Always hold the base flush with the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury. (Fig. 14)

Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact 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.

NOTE:

- If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

When cutting curves, advance the tool very slowly.

Bevel cutting (Fig. 15)

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before tilting the base.

With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any angle between 0^ and 45^ (left or right).

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in the center of the bevel slot in the base. (Fig. 16)

Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained. The V-notch of the gear housing indicates the bevel angle by graduations. Then tighten the bolt firmly to secure the base. (Fig. 17)

Front flush cuts

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then tighten the bolt to secure the tool base. (Fig. 18)

Cutouts

Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.

A) Boring a starting hole: (Fig. 19)

For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your cut.

B) Plunge cutting: (Fig. 20)

You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows.

1. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base, with the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface.
2. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the base will not move when you switch on the tool and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.
3. As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface.
4. Complete the cut in the normal manner.

Finishing edges (Fig. 21)

To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the blade lightly along the cut edges.

Metal cutting

Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant.

Rip fence set (optional accessory)

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before installing or removing accessories.

1. Straight cuts (Fig. 22 & 23)

When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm or less, use of the rip fence will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. To install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the side of the tool base with the fence guide facing down. Slide the rip fence to the desired cutting width position, then tighten the bolt to secure it.

2. Circular cuts (Fig. 24 & 25)

When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm or less in radius, install the rip fence as follows.

Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the side of the base with the fence guide facing up. Insert the circular guide pin through either of the two holes on the fence guide. Screw the threaded knob onto the pin to secure the pin.

Now slide the rip fence to the desired cutting radius, and tighten the bolt to secure it in place. Then move the base all the way forward.

NOTE:

- Always use blades No. B-17, B-18, B-26 or B-27 when cutting circles or arcs.

Guide rail adapter set (accessory) (Fig. 26)

When cutting parallel and uniform width or cutting straight, the use of the guide rail and the guide rail adapter will assure the production of fast and clean cuts. To install the guide rail adapter, insert the rule bar into the square hole of the base as far as it goes. Secure the bolt with the hex wrench securely. (Fig. 27)

Install the guide rail adapter on the rail of the guide rail. Insert the rule bar into the square hole of the guide rail adapter. Put the base to the side of the guide rail, and secure the bolt securely. (Fig. 28)

CAUTION:

- Always use blades No. B-8, B-13, B-16, B-17 or 58 when using the guide rail and the guide rail adapter.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 29 & 30)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
