Verify that your jigsaw model is compatible with this parallel guide. Ensure all attachment points are clean and free of debris. Consult your jigsaw's manual for correct attachment procedures.

Ensure the circle cutting attachment is firmly secured to the guide. Check that the radius setting is accurate and that the pivot point is firmly anchored to the workpiece. Avoid applying excessive sideways force on the jigsaw.

For some models, removing a base plate accessory might improve visibility, but this should be done cautiously and with consideration for workpiece support.
