Adjusting the shoe for angular cutting
Caution. Always ensure that the jigsaw is switched off and plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments.
1.Loosen the 2 hex screws located on the underside of the tool using the hex key provided.
2.Move the shoe plate (10) backwards and tilt it to the required angle between 0 and 45° using the scale marked on the base. For accurate work it is
necessary to make a trial cut, measure the work and reset the angle until the correct setting is achieved.
3.Slide the shoe plate (10) until the guide roller (12) rests against the back edge of the blade.
4. Retighten the 2 hex screws.
Caution. The blade roller guide supports the blade when cutting and must at all times rest against the back edge of the blade. It should rotate freely.
Dust extraction
1.To improve dust extraction from the working area, connect dust extraction equipment to the dust extraction outlet (9) at the rear of the tool.
2.The vacuum adapter supplied can be used to connect an ordinary household vacuum cleaner to the tool.
3.The vacuum extraction system works most effectively when the safety guard (11) is in the down position.
Switching on and off
1.Connect the plug to the power point.
2.Start the tool by squeezing the on/off trigger switch
(6).
3.Release the trigger to stop the tool.
4.If you press the lock on button (7) while the trigger switch is depressed, the switch is kept in the operating position.
5.To release the lock on button, press and release the trigger switch.
Caution. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before setting the jigsaw down.
Adjusting the cutting speed
The variable speed feature of this jigsaw enhances the cutting performance and saves the blade from undue wear.
