OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING SPEED

The variable speed feature of this jigsaw enhances the сutting performance and saves the

blade from undue wear.

• The variable speed control (14) is used to programme the speed of the blade. The

speed should be adapted to the material being cut.

• Use your nger or thumb to turn the dial forwards to increase the speed and

backwards to decrease. Position “1” denotes the lowest speed. Position “6” denotes the

highest speed.

• Determine the optimum speed by making a trial cut in a scrap piece of material.

Note: using the correct speed for the job increases the life of the blade.

CHANGING A BLADE

Warning: Always ensure that the saw is switched o and plug is removed from the power

point before making any adjustments.

Removing the blade

• Push the tool free blade change control (15) upwards towards the top of the unit

ensuring that your ngers do not contact the teeth of the jigsaw blade.

• Whilst the tool-free blade change control (15) is in its uppermost position the blade to

be replaced is free and can be easily removed by pulling downwards towards the base

of the unit.

Retting a new blade

• Ensure the blade change control (15) is in its uppermost position, slide the new blade

into the locating groove in the blade clamp with the teeth pointing forward, ensuring

that the blade rear edge is located and supported by the blade guide (9).

• Release the blade change control and the blade will secure rmly in place.

• Reposition the clear front blade guard.

• Replace the plug and run the jigsaw under no load to check that it runs smoothly and

the blade is secure before using it to cut any materials.

PENDULUM ADJUSTMENT

• The pendulum lever (12) has 4 positions.

• Position “0” selects normal cutting without pendulum action.

• The next three positions “1, 2 & 3” cause the blade to swing slightly backwards and

forwards as it cuts. This pendulum actions increases the eciency of cutting.

• Set the pendulum lever (12) to one of the three settings “1, 2 or 3” according to degree

of pendulum action required. Experiment on a piece of scrap material to determine the

optimum pendulum action setting for the material of the work piece.

LASER LINE SYSTEM AND WORKING AREA ILLUMINATION

Warning: Do not stare directly at the laser beam.

Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
