The base runner can be swiveled to both sides by up to 45° for bevel cuts:

-Turn off and unplug tool.

-Remove chip guard and splinterguard.

The base runner can be moved back for sawing close to edges.

-Turn off and unplug tool.

-Remove chip guard and splinterguard.

-Release locking screw [5.1] with Allen key.

Fitting the splinterguard

6.2	6.1
The splinterguard allows cuts with splinter-free

edges, even on the exit side of the sawblade.

-With the tool switched off and unplugged, fit the splinterguard [6.1] on the guide [6.2] up to the sawblade.

-Switch the jigsaw on and with the tool running, use the tool to push the splinterguard in and cut on a level surface until the splinterguard is flush with the front edge of the base runner.

Note: The splinterguard must lie close to the sawblade on both sides to ensure reliable opera- tion. Thus, a new splinterguard should be fitted every time the sawblade is changed to ensure splinter-free cuts.
