Setup

Changing the Sawblade

The Carvex jigsaw features tool-free blade changing. Used blades can be ejected from the saw without touching the potentially hot blade. New blades are inserted into the holder with just a simple twist.

Choosing the correct sawblade for the task is important for optimal results. Refer to “Sawblade Selection” on page 14.

WARNING! Always disconnect the saw from the power supply (power cord or battery) before making any adjustments to the saw or installing or remov- ing the blade.

CAUTION! After prolonged use, the used sawblade may be hot. Take care not to touch the sawblade until it has cooled.

1.Unplug the saw or remove the battery. This procedure may require you to touch the blade with your fingers, so make sure the saw cannot start unexpectedly.

2.If the splinter guard is installed, remove it as described on page 12.

3.Slide the blade release lever forward until the blade is ejected from the spring loaded holder.

4.Place the new blade into the diagonal slot on the blade holder, press it fully in, and rotate the blade until it locks into place. If the blade does not rotate easily, it is not pressed in far enough. The small tabs on the side of the blade must be inside the blade holder.

5.Adjust the blade guide as described below.

Adjusting the Blade Guide

The Carvex jigsaw features a lower blade guide to ensure that the blade stays straight and true in the cut. If the blade was guided only by the blade holder, like many other jigsaws, the upper half of the blade could flex, which would make it more likely that the blade wouldn’t be perpendicular to the workpiece. For longer life, the blade guide is carbide tipped to reduce wear.

WARNING! Always disconnect the saw from the power supply (power cord or battery) before making any adjustments to the saw or installing or remov- ing the blade.

1.Unplug the saw or remove the battery. This procedure may require you to touch the blade with your fingers, so make sure the saw cannot start unexpectedly.

2.Install a blade in the saw.

3.Remove the Main Base as described on page 10.

4.Using the provided 2.5 mm hex key, loosen the adjust- ment screw enough to ensure the blade fits loosely between the jaws of the blade guide.

5.Carefully push back on the blade to ensure it is fitting between the parallel faces of the blade guide jaws.

6.While wiggling the blade back and forth, tighten the adjustment screw until the jaws are almost touching the blade.

►► Take care not to over-tighten the adjustment screw. If the jaws are too tight to the blade, you will have exces- sive wear on the jaws, and it may even prevent proper pendulum action.

►► If the jaws are too loose, the blade won’t be well guided in the cut.

►► For optimal adjustment, you should be able to wiggle the blade side-to-side just a little bit.
