• Turn main power off and make sure that the table saw
blade is not spinning before using X-shop accessory
power tools. Contact with an unattended and spinning
blade can cause injury.
• Before making adjustments, make sure the jigsaw switch
is in the OFF position and the cord is unplugged.
• Lower the table saw blade below table before using the
accessory power tools.
• Remove X-Shop tool inserts and reinstall blank inserts
before returning to table saw operation.
• If jigsaw is equipped with a laser system, make sure that
the laser is turned off. Direct Exposure to the laser light
can cause damage to your eyes. See the Jigsaw manual
for a complete listing of laser safety and operating
instructions.
Note: See page 9 for Jigsaw Safety.
1. The saw does not cut wood by itself. You allow the saw to cut
wood by guiding the wood into the blade as it moves.
2. The blade teeth cut ONLY on the down stroke.
3. You must feed the wood into the blade slowly because the teeth
of the blade are very small and they can only remove wood
when they are on the down stroke. The blade will flex backwards
when applying feed pressure. Too much feed pressure will
cause blade breakage.
4. Best results are achieved when cutting wood less than 1" thick.
5. Teeth on jigsaw blades wear out and blades must be replaced
frequently for best cutting results.
6. Metal should not be cut with this jigsaw.
