Maintenance and Adjustment

WARNING! Any maintenance or repair work that requires opening of the motor or gear hous- ing should be carried out only by an authorized Customer Service Center (see your dealer for information on locating a service center).

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrocution or other personal injury, always unplug the tool from the power supply outlet or remove the battery before performing any maintenance or repair work on the tool.

NOTICE: Do not use compressed air to clean the motor housing of the tool, as you could inject for- eign objects into the motor through the ventilation openings.

NOTICE: Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastic parts. Some of these include, but are not limited to: Gasoline, Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Carbonyl Chloride, cleaning solutions containing Chlorine, Ammonia, and household clean- ers containing Ammonia.

Routine Maintenance

Keep the Saw Clean

Dust and debris from some materials can be extremely abrasive and cause components within the saw to wear prematurely. It is important to keep moving parts cleared of abrasive dusts.

►► As a general rule, keep the saw clean of all dust and debris. Even soft-wood dust can be abrasive over time.

►► Examine all moving parts for dust and debris.

►► Keep the blade area and dust extraction port clean of debris. Debris can cause wear and reduce the effective- ness of the dust extraction system.

Adjustments

Programming the LED light Function

WARNING! The stroboscopic function of the LED light may make it difficult to determine the blade position, or give the appearance that the blade is not moving.

WARNING! Never look directly into the LED lights. The lights are very bright and may damage your vision.

The LED work lights have 3 programmable settings. These are stroboscopic, steady-on, and off. To reduce the likeli- hood of the bright LED lights from shining in the operator’s eyes, the lights will automatically turn off any time the saw is rotated slightly past vertical toward the upside down posi- tion. These three operating modes are described below:

Stroboscopic: The stroboscopic function means that the LEDs will operate in unison with the speed of the sawblade stroke. This synchronous operation will make the sawblade appear stationary, instead of a blur of motion. The purpose of this stopped-motion appearance is to make it easier to follow a pencil line.

The stroboscopic effect is active only when the blade speed is above approximately 2100 strokes per minute. This means the frequency range of the light is 35 to 63 Hertz.

Steady-On:In the steady-on mode, the LED lights will be active and steady-on anytime the saw is operating, except when the saw is turned upside down.

Off: In this mode, the LED lights are disabled.

WARNING! Do not perform this adjustment with a sawblade installed in the jigsaw. This adjustment may result in the saw starting unexpectedly.

1.Remove the sawblade from the saw as described on page 8.

2.Hold the saw in such a manner that when the LED lights turn on, they will not shine directly into your eyes.

3.Simultaneously press and hold both left and right barrel power switches until the saw beeps.

►► If the saw turns on, turn it back off and try again. The saw may turn on if both switches are not pressed simultaneously.

►► It will take approximately 10 seconds for the saw to beep from the time you first pressed the two switches.

►► The LED lights may or may not come on after the saw beeps, depending on the previous program mode.

4.When the saw beeps, release both power switches.

5.Press and release the right-hand power switch to cycle through the 3 programming options.

►► The LED lights will indicate the current program mode. They will flash if in stroboscopic mode. They will be steady-on for steady-on mode. They will be off for the off-mode.

6.When the desired program mode is selected, Pres and release the left-hand power switch to exit program-mode.
