wooden materials.

Set the chip cover to the second or third step when

cutting metal materials such as steel.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE OPERATING

SPEED ........................................... (FCJ65V3 only)

NOTE

The blade operating speed cannot be adjusted for

FCJ65S3.

The blade operating speed can be adjusted within a

range of 0 to 3,000 min

–1

according to the degree that the

trigger switch is depressed. Select the speed appropriate

to the material being worked and/or the working

conditions.

To achieve continuous operation, pull the trigger switch

all the way back and depress the stopper. Then, turn the

speed adjustment knob to adjust the blade operating

speed as desired.

NOTE

The speed adjustment knob rotates approximately 1.5

turns. To turn the switch OFF, pull the trigger switch

again to disengage the stopper, and release the trigger

switch.

CUTTING

CAUTION

⅜ While sawing, the base must be firmly in contact with

the material surface, and the blade must be held at a

right angle. If the base becomes separated from the

material, it could cause the blade to break.

⅜ When cutting while holding the front surface, be

careful of the moving blade and hold the upper part

firmly.

1. Rectilinear cutting

(1) To ensure accurate rectilinear cutting, employ the

optional accessory guide as shown in Fig. 6.

(2) Use the splinter guard to reduce roughness of the

cutting surface of wooden materials. Attach the

splinter guard by inserting it from the front section of

the base until it clicks into place. (Fig. 7)

CAUTION

Set the base in the front position when using the

splinter guard.

2. Cutting a circle or a circular arc

To ensure efficient cutting, employ the optional

accessory guide and nail or wood screw as shown in

Fig. 8.

When mounting the guide, loosen the base bottom

screw, and shift the base as far forward as it will go.

3. Sawing curved lines

When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding

speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it

could cause the blade to break.

4. Cutting metallic materials

Always use an appropriate cutting agent (spindle oil,

soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting agent is not

available, apply grease to the back surface of the

material to be cut.

5. Pocket cutting

(1) In lumber

Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the

wood, cut step by step until a window hole is cut in

the center of the lumber. (Fig. 9)

(2) In other materials

When cutting a window hole in materials other than

lumber, initially bore a hole with a drill or similar tool

from which to start cutting.

6. Angular cutting

Set the chip cover to the first step. (Fig. 5)

To adjust the angle of inclination; loosen the base

bottom screw, shift the base position to the side

groove of the semicircular portion, align the scale on

the base semicircular portion (figures engraved on

the scale indicate the angle of inclination) with the

housing edge line, and thoroughly tighten the base

bottom screw. (Fig. 10 and 11)

CAUTION

Set the screw to the opposite side of the inclining

side when using the guide. (Fig. 12)

7. Dust produced in operation

CAUTION

⅜ To prevent accidents, turn the switch off and remove

the plug from the power supply when not in use.

⅜ For instruction on using the dust collector and

applicable cutting debris, please read the dust

collector instruction manual.

The dust produced in normal operation may affect

the operator’s health. Either of following way is

recommended.

a) Wear a dust mask

b) Use external dust collection equipment

When using the external dust collection equipment,

connect the rubber adapter (accessory of external

dust collection equipment) with end the of hose from

external dust collection equipment.

Then connect the another end of rubber adapter with

the hose attachment part that positioned in rear end

of jig saw. (See Fig. 13)

SELECTION OF BLADES

1. Accessory blades

To ensure maximum operating efficiency and results

it is very important to select the appropriate blade

best suited to the type and thickness of the material

to be cut. One type of blade is provided as standard

accessory. The blade number is engraved in the

vicinity of the mounting portion of each blade. Select

appropriate blades by referring to Table 1.
