Cutting (Fig.A, D)
The blade
5
should extend past the pivoting shoe
3
and
the thickness of the workpiece throughout the cut. Select
the blade best suitable for the material to be cut and use the
shortest blade suitable for the thickness of the material. Do
not use jigsaw blades with thistool.
NOTE: Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly
anchored or clamped to preventslipping.
• Place blade
5
and pivoting shoe
3
lightly against work
to becut.
• Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum
speed before applyingpressure.
• Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting
as shown in Figure D. Whenever possible, the pivoting
shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut.
This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and
will minimize bladebreakage.

blade for the application. The blade should be longer than
3–1/2" (89 mm) and should extend past the shoe and the
thickness of the workpiece throughout the cut. Do not use
