SWITCH METAL CUTTING
FIGUiE 1 FIGURE 2 FIGURES
Push the Switch Button forward to turn the saw “ON”. As you
push the button forward it will first dick into a position expos­
ing the letters “LO” (Figure 1). This is the low speed position
for cutting metals and plastics.
Pushing the button farther forward until it clicks again will
expose the letters “HI” (Figure 2). This is the high speed posi­
tion for cutting woods and composition boards.
Pulling the switch button ail the way back turns the tool “OFF”
(Figure 3).
The Jig Saw Shoe may be tilted to permit bevel cutting at any
angle from 0° to 45^ To change the angle of the shoe, loosen
screw (see above) and tilt shoe to desired cutting angle with
blade. Retighten screw. Cutting angles of 0° and 45° are indi­
cated on the left side, raised portion of shoe when viewed from
rear of saw.
IVOOD CUTTING
Be sure board is firmly posi­
tioned. Hold Jig Saw by the
convenient overhead handle
and operate switch to turn the
unit on. Don’t attempt to turn
on when blade is against mate­
rial to be cut. This could stall
the motor. Place front of shoe
on material to be cut and hold
Jig Saw shoe down firmly
against the wood while cutting.
Don't force the tool; let the
blade cut at its own speed.
Whenever possible, clamp or
support work close to the line
of cut; when the cut is com­
pleted, shut off power and lay
the saw aside before loosening
the work.
CAUTION: When sawing into walls, floors or wherever “live”
eieccrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY
METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the Jig Saw only by its plastic
handle to prevent electric shock if you saw into a “live” wire.
In cutting thin gage sheet metals it is best to clamp wood or
plywood to bottom of metal sheet, this will Insure a clean cut
without the danger of vibration or tearing of metal. Always
remember to use a finer blade for ferrous metals (those that
have an iron content). Use a coarser blade for non-ferrous
metals (those that do not have an iron content).

A pocket cut is an easy method of making an Inside cut. The
saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without first
drilling a lead or pilot hole. In pocket cutting measure the
surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the
saw forward until the front edge of the shoe sits firmly on the
work surface. Switch the too! on and allow it to attain maximum
speed. Grip the handle firmly and lower the back edge of tool
until the blade cuts smoothly into material. Always be sure
blade reaches its complete depth before starting to cut.
RIP & CIRCLE CUTTING
CIRCLE CUTTING
Ripping and circle cutting without a pen­
cil line are easily done with the No. U-
2151 Accessory Rip Fence and Circle
Guide. (The attachment of this Accessory
is explained In the drawing below.) When
ripping; insert rip fence in either side of
saw; adjust to width of cut and tighten
thumb screw. When circle cutting, insert
rip fence from either side with cross bar
facing up; adjust rip fence so that dis­
tance from blade to hole in cross bar is
the desired radius and tighten thumb
screw; place saw so that center of hole
in cross bar is over center of circle to be
cut (make pocket cut, drill hole for blade
or cut inward from edge of material to
get blade into position). When saw Is
properly positioned, drive a small nail
through hole of cross-bar into exact cen­
ter of circle to be cut. Using rip fence as
a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.
THUMB SCREW
The Nut and Thumb Screw shown above
are included with this Accessory. Hold
the nut in the position shown and thread
the thumb screw into it just enough to
hold the nut loosely in position.
Pull up on the thumb screw and slide
the Rip Fence under the nut from either
side of the Saw. Set the cross bar at
desired distance from blade and tighten
thumb screw. For ripping the cross bar
should be down as shown. For circle cut­
ting the cross bar should be up.
