(3) When cutting thick plate materials which apply a particularly heavy load on the blade, be sure to mount the
guide roller before the cutting operation. As failure to mount the guide roller before cutting such materials will

Use a blade with a straight back
portion 50 mm (2") or more in length.
Do not use a blade with an inclined back.

NOTE: As illustrated on the right, the guide roller can become jammed in the recessed portion
of the jig saw blade, causing damage to the blade and/or guide roller. Accordingly, it is
necessary to withdraw the guide roller so that it will not contact the blade. In addition,
the thickness of the jig saw blade must be 1.3 mm (3/64") or less.
