INSTALLING BLADES

BEFORE INSTALLING BLADES, TURN
OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.
Your jig saw uses the Quick Clamp™
blade changing system. To install a
blade, lift the Quick Clamp™ lever
(Figure 1). Ensure the blade teeth are
facing forward and insert the saw blade
shank fully into the blade clamp.
Release the lever and the blade will be
1
clamped securely in place. To release
the blade, lift the lever.
ROLLER SUPPORT GUIDE
The roller support guide on your jig saw
improves its performance when cutting
tough materials by adding support to the
blade. This support should be adjusted
so that the roller touches the back of the
blade when cutting. Ensure the blade is
aligned with the groove in the roller.
Adjust the support roller by loosening
the screw on the bottom of the shoe
(Fig.2) and moving the shoe so that the
roller touches the back edge of the
blade. Retighten screw. Lubricating the
guide roller from time to time with a drop
of oil will extend the life of the roller.
