DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTOR

The dust extraction adaptor (16) allows a dust extraction system or a household vacuum

cleaner to be connected to the tool in order to remove dust whilst the tool is in use.

Warning: Do not use a dust extraction system or a vacuum cleaner when cutting metal.

Sparks may ignite residual wood dust.

MAKING A CUT

• Switch on the jigsaw and allow the blade to reach maximum speed.

• Slowly guide the jigsaw forward using both hands, keeping the shoe plate at against

the work piece.

• Do not force the jigsaw.

Note: Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting. Do not force the cutting, allow

the blade and the sawto do the work.

POCKET & ROUND CUTTING

• When starting a cut from the centre of a work piece, drill a 12 mm diameter hole to

ensure that there is clearance for the blade.

• When cutting tight curves, reduce the speed of the saw.

Warning: Do not move the saw forward along its cut until the blade has completely

entered the material and the shoe comes to rest on its surface.

CUTTING METAL

• When cutting metals, a suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used.

• Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or work piece at regular intervals during cutting in

order to reduce wear of the blade.

GENERAL INSPECTION

Regularly inspect all fasteners and ensure they are properly tightened. Should any of the

screws be loose, retighten it immediately to avoid hazards.

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer

or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

CLEANING

For safe operation always keep the machine and its ventilation slots clean.

Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the ventilation slots and the

grills around the switches. Use a soft brush and/or air jet to remove any accumulated dust.

Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning.

Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
