[. . . ] OPERATOR'S MANUAL JIG SAW / JSO48 DOUBLE INSULATED 0 SPECIFICATIONS: Length Of Stroke Strokes Per Minute Rating Switch Orbital Motion Blade / Hex Key Storage Net Weight THANK YOU FOR BUYING A RYOBI JIG SAW. Your new jig saw has been engineered and manufactured to Ryobi's high standard for dependability, ease of operation, and operator safety. Properly cared for, it will give you years of rugged, trouble-free performance. CAUTION: Carefully read through this entire operator's manual before using your new jig saw. [. . . ] HEX KEY HEX KEY STORAGE COMPARTMENT Fig. 1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and overheating. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. CHIP SHIELD A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of your saw for protection against flying dust and chips. The flip-up design of the chip shield makes installing and removing blades easier. This will allow the speed of your saw to be controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression. Avoid running your saw at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause your saw to become overheated. If this occurs, cool your saw by running it without a load and at full speed. TO DECREASE SPEED TO INCREASE SPEED VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR Fig. 3 The following guidelines may be used in determining correct speed for various applications: LOW speed is ideal when minimum speed and power is required, for example, starting cuts. MEDIUM speed is suitable for cutting hard metals, plastics, and laminates. HIGH speed produces best results when maximum power is required, for example, cutting wood. Soft metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper also require high speeds. Page 6 OPERATION BLADE AND HEX KEY STORAGE See Figure 4. Convenient features on your saw are blade and hex key storage compartments. As shown in figure 4, the blade storage compartment is located on the back of your saw and the hex key storage compartment is located on the base.
