Cutting (Fig. A, D)
The blade

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

lightly against work
to be cut.
• Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum
speed before applying pressure.

shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut.
This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and
will minimize blade breakage.
