9.4 Adjusting the pendulum regulation knob (Fig. 7)
This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, one straight and three orbital. Orbital action
has a more aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood or
plastic. Orbital action provides faster cut, but with a rougher cut across the material. In orbital
action, the blade moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up and down
motion.
Note: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action.
To adjust the cutting action, moves the orbital switch knob between the four cutting positions:
1, 2, 3 and 4. Position 1 is the straight cutting. Positions 2, 3 and 4 are orbital cutting. The
aggressiveness of the cut increase as the knob is moved from 2 to 4, with 4 being the most
aggressive cut.
9.5 Installing the dust adaptor
Insert the dust adaptor into the base plate of the machine. The dust adaptor can be connected
to a vacuum cleaner hose in order to collect the saw dust.
Caution!
Always hold the shoe flush with the work piece. Failure to do so may cause
blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the
tool may cause a slanted cutting surface and blade breakage.
Turn the tool on with the blade not making any contact and wait until the
blade reached a full speed. Then rest the base flat on the work piece and
gently move the tool forward along the previous marked line.
9.6 LED work light
The LED work light (4) can light if you turn the tool on, which keep the work area to be lighted
for checking clearly at first, and it lights also during your operation.
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the light beam. Never aim the beam at
any person or an object other than the work piece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not
directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
9.7 Adjusting the parallel guide (Fig. 9)
With the edge guide (a) you can saw parallel to an edge. The maximum distance is 15 cm.
▪ Loosen the lock knob (12) and insert the parallel guide into the holders in the saw/base-
plate (11).
▪ Tighten the lock knob for edge guide.
10 OPERATION
Never use a blade unsuitable for the task and item to be cut.
Hold the saw in front of you with a firm grip on the handle. Ensure that the saw blade is not
touching anything when starting the saw. Make sure that the item is clamped tight, and that
