Guide to Using and Maintaining an Electric Jig Saw
Getting Started with Your Electric Jig Saw
Proper usage of an Electric Jig Saw involves adhering to these critical points:
Choosing the Right Saw Blade
Select the saw blade width fitting the material type for the Electric Jig Saw.
Installation Tips
Ensure the saw blade's back is tightly connected to the guide wheel when installing your Electric Jig Saw.
Creating Circular Cuts
For circular holes using an Electric Jig Saw, start by drilling a hole in the appropriate spot to lower the blade.
Cutting Techniques with the Electric Jig Saw
Adjusting for Slope Cuts
Loosen the adjusting nut, rotate the base plate to the needed angle, and then secure it for slope cuts with your Electric Jig Saw.
Managing Thin Plates
If the workpiece rebounds, switch to a fine tooth Electric Jig Saw blade. For challenging cuts due to thinness, clamp it with waste metal for stability.
Precise Angle Cuts
When working on slopes, use the Electric Jig Saw's base plate to adjust to the required cutting angle.
Best Practices for Efficient Electric Jig Saw Operation
Avoid randomly lifting the saw as it might break the blade; intermittent starting of the Electric Jig Saw helps maintain cut quality.
Ensure the bottom plate remains firmly against the workpiece while moving forward steadily to reduce vibrations.
