for the charger. Make sure your  
extension cord is in good condition.  
Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The  
amperage rating should be listed on  
the motor or tool nameplate. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power  
and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire

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  
function. Check for alignment of  
moving parts, binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts, mount-  
ing, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or  
other part that is damaged should  
be properly repaired or replaced.

wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-  
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel-  
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.  
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING  
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER  
OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes  
to a complete stop.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a  
vise to hold work when practical. It’s  
safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate tool.

replacement.  
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.  
BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED  
OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.  
Consult your local Yellow Pages direc-  
tory under the category “Recycling” to  
locate a battery recycler in your area.

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.

There are four settings for orbital action of  
the blade, controlled by a lever switch. The  
effect of the settings is shown in Figure 5  
below. When set on Position III the blade  
oscillates forward in the stroke, which is  
helpful when cutting wood or soft materi-  
als. The Position 0 setting eliminates all

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.
