The Tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch located at the side of the motor housing. This tool is equipped with a Variable Speed Dial. The stroke rate of the Blade Plunger may be controlled by presetting the dial in any one of six positions. The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate required depends on the material being cut, the type of blade used, and the feed rate preferred by the operator.

Note that when the jigsaw is used at low speed settings for any length of time, the motor temperature will rise due to the slower speed of the internal cooling fan. In such cases, it is necessary to occasionally run the tool at full speed for a few minutes to keep the motor operating at high efficiency.

Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to suit the material being cut. The following chart will help you determine which setting to use for your application. This chart is intended as a guideline only, and test cuts in scrap material should be performed first to determine the best setting. Setting I soft materials where cleaner cutting or delicate scrolling work is performed. Setting II medium density materials such as harder woods or particle board.

Setting III soft materials such as wood, plastics, etc. Blades with teeth that point downward reverse-tooth blades. Blades with teeth that point straight out rather than up or down. To adjust footplate, loosen screw A with allen wrench, slide the footplate towards the front of the tool, and rotate to the desired angle, as marked on the angle scale.

Intermediate angles may be set with a protractor. After positioning the footplate, securely tighten screw A. On model DVS, screw A is covered by sliding cover, which should be closed after making the footplate adjustment. Note that when the footplate is used on an angle, dust cover must be removed, and chip collection efficiency will be reduced. The steel insert is used for most general cutting operations, and the smooth plastic insert may be used to minimize scratches on fine surfaces.

To minimize splintering of the top surface of the material being cut, place the anti-splinter insert in the blade opening of the footplate. To allow the saw to make a perpendicular cut close to a vertical surface, the footplate may be repositioned as follows.

Remove screw A , move footplate to the front mounting slot, and be sure the detent notch is aligned with the. Re-insert screw A into the threaded hole closest to the detent notch, and securely tighten. The jigsaw is equipped with a three-position chip blower to help keep the cutting line clear of chips.
