Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended

ry which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom-
mended. Wear protective hair cover-
ing to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eye-
glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glass-
es.

Charger should be serviced by a
qualified electrical technician only.
3. DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY OR
CHARGER TO WET OR RAINY
CONDITIONS. Moisture greatly
increases the risk of a shock haz-
ard.
8. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY
THE CHARGER PLUG. Modifying
the plug will result in a safety haz-
ard and will void the warranty.
9. CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO
OPERATE AT 110-120 VOLTS.
Never try to plug into any circuit that
is not 110-120 volts. Never modify
or change the plug that is attached
to the charger unit to attempt to
plug into 220 volt. This can cause
serious electrical damage to the
unit, possible fire or explosion.
4. DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY
POLES with any conductive materi-
als. Touching any two poles at the
same time causes a short condition
and can cause sparks, electrical
shock or fire.
5. DO NOT STORE BATTERY WITH
CONDUCTIVE
MATERIALS.
Storing the battery in a box of
screws or nails can cause shorting
across the battery poles.
6. DO NOT THROW BATTERY IN
FIRE. Combustion of some of the
batteries’ component materials can
cause toxic fumes and possible
Never leave a battery unattend-
ed while charging. While charg-
ing will make the battery and
charging unit warm, if it
becomes hot to the touch, dis-
connect the charger immediate-
ly. There is a possibility of fire
hazard. Have the battery and
charging unit checked by a qual-
ified electrical service techni-
cian.

BLADE SELECTION
Always select the correct saw blade for the
3. The number of teeth per inch
(T.P.I.) affects the smoothness
and speed of the cut. A wood cut-
ting blade for general purpose will
usually have 6-10 T.P.I., a metal
cutting will have 12-20 T.P.I.
Another factor is the tooth style
and how the teeth are set (the
amount the tooth is bent away
from the plane of the blade). Most
blade manufacturer’s provide
guidelines on their packaging for
the types of materials and speeds
to use for a particular blade style.
Review their guidelines carefully
before choosing a blade for a par-
ticular project.
material being cut. The resulting cut will be
cleaner and more accurate, and there will
be less stress on the machine. This Jig
Saw can be used to cut wood, metal or
plastics depending upon the type of blade
selected. The blades used must be of the
universal style mount. Grizzly offers a vari-
ety of blade styles in the current catalog.
A few points to remember in making your
blade selection:
1. The overall blade length will affect
the thickness of material which
can be cut. Most jig saw blades
range in length from 3" to 5".
2. The width of the blade (measured
from the tip of one of the teeth to
the back edge) affects how tight of
a curve can be cut. A 3⁄16" wide
blade will cut a tighter circle than a
3⁄8" wide one.
Figure 2 shows the range of blades for
wood and metal cutting available from
Grizzly.

OPERATIONS
Footplate Adjustment
The footplate can be adjusted for cutting at
90˚ to the surface as well as any angle
from 45˚. To be certain the footplate is
cutting at precisely 90˚, it is useful to check
the blade squareness to the footplate with
the use of a small machinist’s square (See
Figure 4).
Turn the switch off and remove the
battery from the Jig Saw before
attempting blade installation or any
adjustments. Serious injury may
occur if the unit should be acciden-
tally started while installing the blade.
Changing Blades
To adjust to another angle, use the sup-
plied Allen® Wrench to loosen the bolt
holding the footplate. Slide the plate for-
ward slightly to disengage it from the
notch, and tilt it to the desired angle. At the
45˚ points there are notches which posi-
tion the plate. By pushing the plate back
when near 45˚, the notches will lock the
plate in position. If an angle between 90˚
and 45˚ is desired, set the angle and leave
the plate in the forward position, and tight-
en the bolt.
Make sure the Orbit Selector switch is in
Position III. Take the blade and turn it so the
teeth are facing the side of the footplate,
and insert the mount end into the plunger.
See Figure 3. Twist the blade 90˚ so the
teeth are now pointing forward, then pull it
down slightly. Make certain the blade is
positioned in the groove of the roller which
backs up the blade.
Insert the Allen® wrench included with this
Jig Saw into the blade locking screw.
Tighten the screw while making sure the
blade stays in the roller groove. To remove
the blade, reverse the process described
above.

OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Operating Guides and Tips
Maintenance
Avoid overloading the jig saw. Do not
apply excessive pressure to the tool
while using. If the speed drops
abnormally, decrease pressure
immediately.
Your cordless power tool will give you hun-
dreds of hours of operation time before
ever needing service. The electrical com-
ponents of this cordless saw are not user
serviceable. Repair should always be
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair
technician.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Clear the work area of all parts and
debris that may cause injury by flying
objects. Securely fix the object to be
worked on in a vise or otherwise
clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt
to hold workpiece by hand.
Keep the saw free from dirt and grease.
Always store it in a dry place, preferably in
the case that is supplied.
The battery will require periodic recharg-
ing, and eventually replacement after it has
exceeded its recharge life (approximately
800-1000 recharge cycles). You will notice
extended charging times or shortened
operation time as the battery experiences
more cycles. Battery must be recycled or
disposed or properly. Refer to the Grizzly
catalog for replacement batteries.
Inspect the tool before use. Run the tool
free of the workpiece before using to
ensure all parts are running smooth-
ly and there are no abnormal sounds
or sparks. If any defect is found,
have unit serviced.
Know your work site. Take care to make
sure the material being worked on is
not supporting another structure, or
that there are no obstructions.
Before cutting into walls, check for
wires, other electrical hazards, gas
lines or plumbing which may be hid-
den in the wall space.
Disassembly and improper reassembly
of this device can result in electrical
shock danger. Always have this device
serviced by a qualified electrical repair
technician. Serious injury will result.
