Working hints for your jigsaw

If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low
speed, set the speed to maximum and run no Load for 2-3 minutes
to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.

GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness
to be cut. Always ensure the work–piece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement. For easier control, use low speed to start
cutting, then increase to correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut.
The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost.
Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-visible surface when your
work is finished.

CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood
materials. To reduce edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at
both ends on both sides and cut through the wood during cutting.

CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or
angles.
