Loosen the hex screw that
secures the base plate.
Move the base plate slightly
forward, and tilt it to the
required angle (between
0° and 45 °) using the scale
(0°, 15°, 30°and 45°) that
is marked on the base
bracket. The base plate has
indents at 0° and _+45° for
easy angle setting.

Slide the blade-guide
assembly until the blade guide rests against the back edge of the blade.
Retighten the hex screws.
In order to ensure accurate work, it is necessary to make a trial cut, measure
the work, and reset the angle until the correct setting is achieved.
THE EDGE GUIDE (Fig.10)
This accessory (included) is
used for straight cutting:
Insert the bar of the edge guide
through the slots in the base of
the jigsaw (Fig10). The bar of
the edge guide can be inserted
from either side of the base.
GENERAL CUTTING TIPS
_1, WARNING: Do not let
familiarity with your saw make
you careless. Remember that a

careless fraction of a second is sufficient to cause severe injury.
_i, WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses when operating
this tool.
_i, WARNING: The use of attachments or accessories that are not
recommended is dangerous.
1. Place the best side of the material face-down and secure it in a bench vise
or clamp it in place.
2. Draw your cutting lines or designs on the side facing you.
3. Place the front edge of the base plate on the material to be cut and align the
blade with your cutting line. (Fig 11)
4. Hold the saw firmly and turn it on.

Press down (to keep
saw base plate against
the workpiece) as you
slowly push the saw in the
direction of the cut.
Gradually build up the blade
speed, cutting as close to
the line as possible (unless
you want to leave enough
room for finish sanding).
Fig. 11
As you cut, you may need
to reposition the vise or
clamps to keep the workpiece stable.
Do not force the saw, because the blade teeth may rub and wear without
cutting, which may result in breaking the blade.
Always let the saw do most of the work.
Always cut slowly when following curves, so the blade can cut through
cross grain. This will provide an accurate cut and will prevent the blade from
wandering.
METAL CUTTING
1. When cutting metal, always clamp the metal workpiece to a stable platform.
Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood or tightly
clamped to a single piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut
lines or design on the top piece of wood.
2. When cutting metals, suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used. For easier
cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax (if available) or use
cutting oil when cutting steel. Spread the oil onto the blade or workpiece at
regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear or overheating the
blade
3. When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench
vise and saw close to the vise jaws.
4. Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly as you cut. Use slower
speeds. Do not twist, bend or force the blade.
5. If the saw jumps or bounces as you cut, change to a blade with finer teeth.
If the blade begins to clog when cutting soft metal, change to a blade with
coarser teeth.
6. When sawing tubing with a diameter 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.
,_, WARNING: To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power
source before making any adjustments or attaching accessories.
