RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING:  
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction  
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive  
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:  
• Lead from lead-based paints,  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and  
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.  
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and work  
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed  
to filter out microscopic particles IS BETTER  
THAN NO SIGHT  
IMPORTANT  
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a  
qualified service technician.  
WARNING:  
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read thoroughly and understand  
completely all instructions, safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply  
can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury. Save this  
operator's manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation and instructing  
others who may use this tool.  
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being projected into your  
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning tool operation, always  
wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when  
needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard  
safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye protection which is marked to comply  
with ANSI Z87.1.  
CAUTION: Failure to obey a safety warning may result in property damage or personal  
injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of  
fire, electric shock and personal injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES  
WARNING! Read, understand and save all instructions. Failure to follow all  
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire or serious personal injury. The  
warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all  
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator  
that common sense and caution are a factor which cannot be built into this product, but  
must be supplied by the operator.  
SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!  
WORK AREA  
1. Keep your work area clean and well organized. Cluttered benches and dark areas  
invite accidents.  
2. 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.  
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.  
Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
ELECTRICAL SAFETY  
1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than  
the other.). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not  
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double  
insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded  
power supply system.  
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.  
3. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from  
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.  
Damaged cords may create a risk of fire, or electric shock.  
4. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss in the voltage. This will result in a  
loss of power and overheating. To keep it at a minimum, and to prevent the motor  
from burning out, avoid using an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used,  
it must be no longer than 25 feet with a minimum wire size not less than 14 AWG.  
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked ”W-A’  
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.  
PERSONAL SAFETY  
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a  
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or  
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in  
serious personal injury.  
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your  
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Wear protective goggles when  
operating the machine. It is recommended to wear protective goggles, gloves, sturdy  
non-slipping shoes and an apron.  
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure trigger switch is not engaged before connecting to  
a power outlet. Carrying tools with your finger on the trigger switch when the switch  
is engaged invites accidents. Disconnect tool from power outlet before carrying out  
any work on the machine.  
4. Remove adjusting wrenches or Switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key  
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool my result in personal injury.  
4
 
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and  
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.  
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.  
LASER SAFETY  
1. This tool emits laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure of any kind. Do not stare  
directly at the laser beam, or project beam into eyes of others.  
2. Laser is not to be used if tool is at eye level, or being operated on reflective  
Surfaces. This causes the laser beam to be projected into your eyes or eyes of  
bystanders.  
TOOL USE AND CARE  
1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable  
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to  
loss of control.  
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do  
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.  
3. Do not use tool if trigger switch does not turn ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be  
controlled with a trigger switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
4. Disconnect the plug form the power source before making any adjustments,  
changing saw blades or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the  
risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users. They should be kept away from work  
area.  
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other  
condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced  
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.  
8. Use only accessories that are recommended the manufacture for your model.  
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous with used on  
another tool  
SERVICE  
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or  
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.  
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the  
maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow  
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

OPERATION  
How to Start Jigsaw  
1. Before you start make sure your saw blade and guard is secure.  
2. Plug cord into power outlet.  
3. Place saw near cutting surface. Make sure saw blade is down.  
4. Position Speed Adjust Dial to desired stroke rate.  
5. To start saw, press and hold the On/Off trigger switch.  
6. To stop saw, release the On/Off trigger switch than remove saw from cutting  
surface.  
General Cutting  
Hold your saw firmly in front and clearly away from you. Make sure saw blade is clear of  
any foreign material and that power cord and extension cord are out of the blade path.  
Be sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be securely clamped  
in a vise or clamped to the work bench or table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Squeeze the  
Trigger Switch to start the cutting action. Set the Guard on the work surface, then move  
the saw blade into the work. DO NOT FORCE. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw  
cutting. Allow the saw blade and saw to do the work.  
Variable Speed Control  
The variable speed control is a 6-position speed dial switch located on the top front of  
the blade. By rotating the switch from 1 to 6, the blade speed can be set from 500 to  
3000 SPM.  
Stroke rate should be set for specific material being cut.  
Continuous Rotation  
Press and hold the On/Off trigger switch at the same  
time press the locking button. Pressing the locking  
button locks the tool into operating continuously.  
Pressing the On/Off trigger switch again will release  
the locking button to allow the tool to operate  
normally.

Bevel Cutting  
Warning: Before adjusting the cutting angles, be sure the saw is unplugged from the  
power supply.  
The base plate can be tilted to cut any angle between 0 and 45 degrees right and left.  
Loosen the base plate adjustment screw and then rotate the base plate left or right to  
the desired angle. Tighten the base plate adjustment screw to secure base plate.  
Fig. 5  
Note: The base plate has a scale for setting 0 to 45 degrees. Use a protractor to set  
other angles.  
Orbital Cutting  
The cutting mode selector can be adjusted to select the  
straight cutting mode or orbital cutting mode. This saw  
has 4 position settings. The setting marked 0 is for  
straight cutting and the settings marked I, II and III are  
for orbital cutting.  
Use of higher Orbit settings when performing intricate  
scroll cuts may cause blade breakage. Use lower orbit  
settings for scrolling. Orbit position “0” will produce the  
most accurate cuts with less splintering and the longest  
blade life.

Laser Guide Line  
The saw is equipped with a battery powered laser guide which is  
designed to aid alignment of the blade with your cutting line. Push  
the rocker switch located on the battery compartment cover of the  
laser guide to turn it On or Off.  
To replace the batteries, pull the upper part of the battery  
compartment cover up and then slide the lower part of the battery  
compartment cover away from the compartment.  
FIG. 7  
Warning:  
1. Do not try to pull out the lower part of the battery  
compartment cover away from the battery  
compartment. Instead slide it out.  
2. Do not try to loosen or tighten the screw through the  
screw hole on the battery compartment cover. This will  
cause laser guide line misalignment.  
3. Be careful to observe the polarity indicated in the  
battery compartment.  
Fig. 8  
MAINTENANCE
