STATUS JS800 4191101 [8/52] Operation

Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards

the eye of a person.

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reective surfaces i.e.

wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable.

Bright shiny reective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reective

surface could direct the beam back at the operator. Only turn laser beam on when tool is on

workpiece.

• Mark the line of the cut on the work piece.

• Adjust the bevel angle of cut as required.

• Plug in the machine and start the motor.

• When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately 2 seconds), place the saw on

the work piece.

• Switch on the laser beam using the switch (2) (1st click - laser marker, 2nd click -

working area illumination, 3rd click - laser marker & working area illumination, 4th click

- turning o).

• Align the beam with the mark on the work piece and slowly push the saw forward

using both hands, keeping the red light beam on the mark.

• Switch o the laser beam on completion of the cut.

ADJUSTING THE SHOE FOR ANGULAR CUTTING

Warning: Always ensure the tool is switched o and the plug is removed before making

any adjustments or maintenance procedures.

• To adjust the angle of cutting, rst turn the jigsaw upside down. Loosen the hex screw

securing the blade guide assembly using the hex key provided.

• Next, loosen the hex screw securing the shoe plate (6) using the same hex key.

• Move the shoe plate slightly forward. It can now be tilted to set the required angle

between 0° and 45° using the scale marked on the shoe bracket (10).

• Next slide the shoe plate (6) until the blade guide (9) rests against the back edge of the

blade.

• Finally, retighten the hex screw. For accurate work it is necessary to make a trial cut,

measure the work and reset the angle until the correct setting is achieve.

FITTING THE PARALLEL GUIDE

The parallel guide (11) ts into the shoe plate (6) and is locked in place with the locking

knob. It is used to guide the jigsaw along a straight line which can be an edge of the work

piece or a piece of straight timber clamped to the work piece. By changing the position of

the guide and using the same straight edge as a guide, it is possible to quickly and easily

make parallel cuts in the work piece.

• Push the parallel guide (11) into the slot in the shoeplate (6).

• Adjust the guide to the required position and lock it inplace with the locking knob at

location (17).
