Close the cover of the saw blade storage compartment
(7) and make sure that it is latched closed.
Cut line blower (fig. D)
•
To aid visibility when cutting, your jigsaw is equipped
with a cut line blower (14) which will keep the work area
clear of dust as you saw.
Residual risks.
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc. Even with
the application of the relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks can
not be avoided. These include:
•
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
•
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or
accessories.
•
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
•
Impairment of hearing.
•
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed
when using your tool (example:- working with wood,
especially oak, beech and MDF.)
Use
Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fig. E)
The shoe plate (4) can be set to make either a straight cut or
a left or right bevel cut at an angle of 45°.
•
Loosen the screws (9).
•
Pull the shoe plate (4) forward, rotate the shoe plate (4)
to the left or right and push it back into the 45° location.
•
Tighten the screws (9).
To reset the shoe plate for straight cuts:
•
Loosen the screws (9).
•
Pull the shoe plate (4) forward, rotate to the centre and
push it back into the 0° location.
•
Tighten the screws (9).
Setting the pendulum stroke (fig. F)
•
Set the pendulum stroke selector (6) to the required
position.
-
Position 0: metal and aluminium and sheet metal.
-
Position I: for laminates, hard wood, work tops.
-
Position II: for plywood and PVC/plastics.
-
Position III: for soft wood and fast cutting.
Variable speed control
The tool has a variable speed on/off switch (1). The operating
speed depends on how far you press the switch.
•
Use a high speed for wood, medium speed for aluminium
and PVC and low speed for metals other than aluminium.
Switching on and off
•
To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).
•
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch (1).
•
For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2)
and release the on/off switch (1).
•
To switch the tool off when in continuous operation, press
and release the on/off switch (1).
Sawing
•
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting.
•
The shoe should be held firmly against the material being
cut. This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce
vibration and minimise blade breakage.
•
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate is
