SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY
IN CASE OF:
1. defective mains plug, mains lead, without any loose
ends or damage;
2. defective switch;
3. excessive sparking of the brushes and verticiliosis
in the collector;
4. smoke or bad smell caused by scorched insulation.
3. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SELECTING THE SAW BLADE
- Select a saw blade that is right for the job.
- This jigsaw can be fitted with a wide range of saw
blades.
-A smooth blade is best for cutting soft wood. It
minimizes splintering.
2. FITTING THE SAW BLADE
Before fitting the blade, make sure the tool is
disconnected.
- Loosen both bolts (A) with the hexagonal key provided.
- Insert the blade (B) into the holder (C) on the jigsaw.
- Make sure the blade is both in the groove (D) in the
holder and in the groove in the wheel.
- The blade must be placed between the holder (C)
and the clamping plate (F).
- Insert the blade into the holder as far as it will go.
- Secure the blade and the clamping plate by tighte-
ning both bolts with the hexagonal key.
- Slide the safety guard in the lowest position.
3. ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE BOTTOM
PLATE
- Loosen the socket screw in the bottom plate with
the hexagonal key provided.
- Tilt the bottom plate to the right or the left until it
has reached the required angle (max. angle 45°).
- The angle set is indicated by the scale on the bot-
tom plate.
- Tighten the socket screw in the bottom plate with
the hexagonal key provided.
4. SWITCH OPERATION
- By pressing the trigger switch
(A), the machine will operate.
- The switch can be locked by
means of button (B) in the side
of the handle. Press the trigger
switch and press the lock on
the knob. The tool will run con-
tinuously. Press the trigger switch to disengage the
lock.
- The maximum speed can be adjusted by means of
the rotary thumbwheel (C) on the top of the machi-
ne. This thumbwheel has numbers on it. Turn to a
high number for a high speed, turn to a low number
to reduce the speed.
5. REGULATION OF PENDULUM
For optimal cutting results it is necessary to adjust the
way in which the teeth of the blade grip the material.
Cutting soft material (wood, plastics etc.):
- use deep grip and set pendulum at level II
Cutting medium hard material (hard wood, aluminium
etc.):
- Adjust pendulum according to application.
Pendulum set at level I or 0: for getting a clear cut
in soft material and for thin material when working
with graters or knives.
Cutting hard material (steel etc.):
- set pendulum at level 0.
When sawing curves the pendulum should be at level 0.
Regulation and changing the level of the pendulum is
possible while the machine is in operation.
6. DUST COLLECTION
To keep the working surface clean, the jig saw is equip-
ped with a connection for dust extraction. The jig saw
can be connected to an ordinary vacuum cleaner for
house-use.
4. OPERATION
MAKING CUTS
- Switch on the tool and place the bottom plate on
the work.
-
Slowly move the tool towards the previously drawn
cutting line and slowly press the tool forward.
- Firmly press the bottom plate on the work, other-
wise the jigsaw may start to vibrate, causing the bla-
de to break more easily.
Let the tool do the job. Do not put undue
pressure on the jigsaw.
