,_ WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have thoroughly
read all instructions, safety rules, and warnings. Failure to comply with them can
result in fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury. Save the manual and refer
to it frequently.
,_k WARNING: The use of optical instruments such as, but not limited to,
telescopes or transits to view the laser beam will increase eye hazard.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
= Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
PERSONAL SAFETY
= Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
= Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
= Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
= Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
= Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
= Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
= If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
WARNING: When using power tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
_, WARNING: The operation of any tool can result in foreign objects being
propelled into your eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. When operating power
tool, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full
face shield when needed.
_k WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate the tool until the missing
parts have been replaced. Doing so could result in serious personal injury.
SERVICE SAFETY
= Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
= If any part of this jig saw is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any
way; or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: shut off the
power switch and remove the saw plug from the power source and have the
missing, damaged, or failed parts replaced before resuming operation.
= Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts & Repair Service
Center. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
= Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a tool. Follow the
instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
,_ DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second
hand on the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, the blade cannot cut them.
= Do not reach underneath the work. The blade guard cannot protect you from
the blade beneath the work.
= Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
= Do not cut an oversized workpiece.
= Check for the proper clearance under the workpiece before cutting so that
the blade will not strike the workbench or material under the workpiece.
= Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
• Secure material before cutting. Never hold a workpiece in your hand or legs.
Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide (sold separately). This
improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance of the blade binding.
• Never cut more than one piece at a time. Do not stack more than one
workpiece on the worktable at a time.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the blade.
• Never reach into the cutting path of the blade.
• Blade guide rollers must support the blade when cutting. The rollers must
rest against the back edge of blade. The only cutting operation when rollers
do not support the blade is the scrolling mode. When Scrolling the blade
must swivel as it is guided to follow scroll patterns. Always move the base
back and blade guide up and back away from blade in scrolling mode.
* Always check the tool for damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine if it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced at a Sears Parts &
Repair Service Center.
* Inspect and remove all nails from lumber before sawing.
* Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they
have these instructions also.
1. Carefully lift the jig saw out of the carton and place on a stable, flat surface.
2. Open the color box to locate the following:
* Jig Saw
* 2 blades
* Dust tube

WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw from the power source when
assembling parts, making adjustments or changing blades could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
NOTE: Determine the optimum speed for cutting your workpiece by making a
trial cut in a scrap piece of material. Your experience will determine the best
results for a particular application. However, as a general rule, use slower speed
for harder, denser materials and faster speed for soft materials.
3. Lift the tool-less blade change lever up and carefully remove the blade.
LED WORKLIGHT
Your jig saw has a built-in LED worklight for illuminating the cutting area. To
activate the LED worklight, plug in your jig saw. The LED worklight turns on
automatically when the tool is plugged in power source.
This jig saw is equipped with an orbital control lever that enables you to select
the type of orbital action best suited for your purpose and workpiece material.
Shift the lever to one of the positions described below prior to starting your cut.
1. SCROLLING- this mode allows 360 ° blade rotation using the scrolling knob.
In this mode, there is no orbital action. Use with a scroll blade (available
separately) to cut intricate scroll patterns in all materials with normal up and
down blade motion.
2. SMOOTH- for cutting all materials with normal up and down blade motion
with minimal splintering. In this mode, there is no orbital action. Use this
mode for cutting hardwoods, mild steel, soft and hard materials with fine
wood cutting and smooth metal cutting blades.
3. LOW - for cutting most metal, plastics and hardwoods, with a slightly
aggressive orbital action.
4. MEDIUM- for cutting most metal, plastics, and hardwoods with a more
aggressive orbital action than the LOW mode.
5. FAST- for maximum orbital action and the fastest cutting in plywood, soft
woods and softer materials.
3. Use the hex key to loosen the hex screw securing the saw base.
Orbital action is not observable when the saw is free-running. The saw must be cutting
for orbital action to occur. The speed of cut is easier to see in thicker materials. See
GENERAL CUTTING TIPS for additional instructions.
SCROLMNG I Fig. 10
The scrolling feature allows the I
blade to be rotated 360% It is
ideal for cutting curves, designs
and detailed pattern work.
1. To engage the scrolling
function, move the
Scrolling/orbit control
lever to the SCROLLING
position. (Fig. 10)
2. Grasp the scrolling control
knob (Fig. 11).
3. The scrolling control knob
can be rotated 360 ° to the
left or right while guiding
the saw to follow intricate Fig. 11
cutting lines.
NOTE: The blade can be locked
in any scrolling position within
360 ° by switching the Scrolling/
orbit control lever to the
"SMOOTH" position.
NOTE: After moving the lever
into the scrolling position,
turn the scrolling knob back
and forth to be sure the blade
mechanism is locked into the
desired position.
2. Switch the
vacuum/blower knob
(Fig. 12) to the BLOWER
position to blow sawdust,
metal and plastic chips
away from the cutting area.
OR
2. Switch the
Fig. 13
vacuum/blower knob
(Fig. 12) to
the VACUUM position.
11. Always cut slowly when following curves, so the blade can cut through
cross grain. This will provide an accurate cut and will prevent the blade
from wandering.
NOTE: Always apply a steady firm "DOWN" pressure on the front and body of the
saw as you cut. This will keep the saw blade from jumping out of the workpiece.
When cutting metal, always clamp down the metal workpiece to a stable surface
and use a metal cutting blade. Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly
as you cut. Use the low speeds (position 1,2 or 3 on the variable speed dial).
Also use the LOW position on the orbital control lever.
Do not twist, bend or force the blade, if the saw jumps or bounces as you cut,
change to a blade with finer teeth, if the blade begins to clog when cutting soft
metal, change to a blade with coarser teeth.
For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax (if available) or
cutting oil when cutting steel. Thin metal should be sandwiched between two
pieces of wood or tightly clamped on a single piece of wood (wood on top of the
metal). Draw the cut lines or design on the top piece of wood.
When cutting aluminum extrusion or angel iron, clamp the work in a bench vise
and saw close to the vise jaws.
When sawing tubing with a diameter larger than the blade is deep, cut through the
wall of the tubing and then insert the blade into the cut, rotating the tube as you saw.
1. When cutting metals, a suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used.
2. Spread the oil onto the blade or workpiece at regular intervals during cutting
in order to reduce wear or overheating the blade.
WARNING: Always unplug the saw from the power source before oiling the
blade or making any adjustments or attaching accessories.
,_ WARNING: Always clamp and secure workpiece securely. Always maintain
proper control of saw. Failure to clamp and support workpiece and loss of
control of saw could result in serious injury.

LUBRiCATiON
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-
grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
EXTENSION CORDS:
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss
at a minimum and to prevent overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
A wire gauge (AWG) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet
or less in length. When working outdoors ALWAYS use an extension cord that is
suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
