Fitting the straight guide

1.The electronic speed control dial (15) is used to programme the speed of the blade.

2.The speed should be adapted to the material being cut.

3.Use your thumb to turn the dial forward to increase the speed and backward to decrease it.

4.Position “1” denotes the lowest speed. Position “6” denotes the highest speed.

1.Push the guide (14) into the slot in the shoe plate (10) to the approximate required position.

2.Place the short locking bar (a) on the guide and secure it finger-tight with screw (b). The screw fits point first through the hole in the shoe plate.

Making a cut

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

2.Slowly guide the jigsaw forward using both hands, keeping the shoe plate flat against the work piece.

3.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 saw to do the work.

Pocket & round cutting

3.Position the guide precisely where required and tighten the screw.

Changing a blade

1.When starting a cut from the centre of a work piece, drill a 12mm diameter hole to ensure that there is clearance for the blade.

2.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

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

2.Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or work piece at regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear on the blade.

Warning. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments.

1.Insert the hex key through the guard at the front of the tool and loosen the 2 hex screws.

2.Slide the blade into the locating groove with the teeth pointing forward.
