manual abstract
Removing the blade is essentially the reverse of the installation procedure, however, take note that once the blade change button is loosened, gently push the blade upward to release the blade tabs from the plunger. Operating Instructions SLIDE "ON-OFF" SWITCH The Tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch located at the side of the motor housing. TO TURN TOOL "ON": slide the switch forward. TO TURN TOOL "OFF": slide the switch backward. VARIABLE SPEED DIAL This tool is equipped with a Variable Speed Dial. The stroke rate of the Blade Plunger may be controlled by presetting the dial in any one of six positions. Setting SPM rating (strokes per minute) 1-2 Low stroke (1 = 500 SPM) 3-4 Medium stroke 5-6 High stroke (6 = 3100SPM) PLUNGER SPEED The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate required depends on the material being cut, the type of blade used, and the feed rate preferred by the operator. The best speed for a particular application is largely determined by experience, though as a general rule, slower speeds are for denser materials and faster speeds for soft materials. Note that when the jigsaw is used at low speed settings for any -7 length of time, the motor temperature will rise due to the slower speed of the internal cooling fan. In such cases, it is necessary to occasionally run the tool at full speed for a few minutes to keep the motor operating at high efficiency. BLADE ORBIT Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to suit the material being cut. The following chart will help you determine which setting to use for your application. This chart is intended as a guideline only, and test cuts in scrap material should be performed first to determine the best setting. Setting O Setting I Setting II Setting III hard materials such as metals or thin sheet metals and used with knife blades, grit edge blades or rasp work soft materials where cleaner cutting or delicate scrolling work is performed medium density materials such as harder woods or particle board soft materials such as wood, plastics, etc. BM 2610993482 2-04 2/9/04 9:17 AM Page 8 The following types of blades should only be 2. Blades with teeth that point straight out used with orbital Setting O: rather than up or down. 1. Blades with teeth that point downward 3. Carbide-tipped blades. (reverse-tooth blades). 4. Grit-edge blades. FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts up to 45° in either direction. To adjust footplate, loosen screw (A) with allen wrench, slide the footplate towards the front of the tool, and rotate to the desired angle, as marked on the angle scale. Detent slots will hold the footplate firmly at 0°, and there are additional position marks for 15° and 45° angles. FOOTPLATE PROTRACTOR (Not included) Intermediate angles may be set with a protractor. After positioning the footplate, securely tighten screw (A). On model 1584DVS, screw (A) is covered by sliding cover, which should be closed after making the footplate adjustment. Note that when the footplate is used on an angle, dust cover must be removed, and chip collection efficiency will be reduced. SCREW (A) FOOTPLATE INSERTS (1584AVS & 1584DVS) Model 1584AVS & 1584DVS will accept two footplate inserts which may be changed by removing the six screws (B). The steel insert is used for most general cutting operations, and the smooth plastic insert may be used to minimize scratches on fine surfaces. FOOTPLATE ANTI-SPLINTER INSERT To minimize splintering of the top surface of the material being cut, place the anti-splinter insert in the blade opening of the footplate. Note: This insert will only work with blades that have ground sides such as T301CD, T101B, T101D, and T101DP. -8- ANTI-SPLINTER INSERT SCREW (A) SCREW (B) (1584AVS & 1584DVS) COVER (1584DVS) DUST PORT (1584DVS) FOOTPLATE INSERT (1584AVS & 1584DVS) BM 2610993482 2-04 2/9/04 9:17 AM Page 9 FLUSH CUTTING To allow the saw to make a perpendicular cut close to a vertical surface, the footplate may be repositioned as follows. Remove screw (A), move footplate to the front mounting slot, and be sure the detent notch is aligned with the DUST EXTRACTION (1584AVS & 1584DVS) Model 1584DVS is equipped with a dust port for chip extraction. To use this feature, attach vacuum hose (optional accessory) to the dust port connector, than attach the dust port connector to the dust port. Connect the other end of hose to a shop vacuum cleaner with * COVER SCREW (A) detent slot in the footplate. Re-insert screw (A) into the threaded hole closest to the detent notch, and securely tighten. Note that when the footplate is retracted in this manner, only 90°cuts are possible, and dust cover or optional cutting guide may not be used.
