Pocket Cutting (Fig. N)
A pocket cut is an easy method of making an inside cut.
The saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board
without first drilling a lead or pilot hole by following these
instructions. In pocket cutting, measure the surface to be
cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw forward
until the front end of the shoe sits firmly on the work surface
10
and the blade clears the work through its full stroke. Switch
the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed. Grip the
saw firmly and lower the back edge of tool slowly until the
blade reaches its complete depth. Hold the shoe flat against
the wood and begin cutting. Do not remove blade from cut
while it is still moving. Blade must come to a complete stop.

Flush Cutting

A flush cut is necessary when finishing off cuts up to a wall
or an obstacle, such as back-splash. One of the easiest ways
DCs334
to accomplish the flush cut is to use a flush cutting blade.
The flush cutting blade provides the reach necessary to cut
right up to the front edge of the jig saw shoe. Remove the
anti-splinter insert and return the shoe to the 0° positive
stop position before installing and using the flush cutting

blade. For the best cut quality the flush cutting blade should
be used in the 0 or 1 orbital position. The flush cutting blade
should not be used to start the cut because the flush cutting
blade prevents the shoe from being supported by the work
surface. Use wood cutting practices explained below.

Wood Cutting

Support the workpiece adequately at all times. Use the
higher speed setting for cutting wood. Do not attempt to
turn the tool on when blade is against material to be cut.
This could stall the motor. Place the front of shoe on the
DCs335
material to be cut and hold the jig saw shoe firmly against
WARNING: The jig saw should not be operated with
the shoe removed or serious personal injury may result.
