-Insert the extractor adapter into the rear hole of the base runner in so that the hook [8.2] catches in the notch [8.1].

-Press the lever [8.3] to remove the extractor adapter. The integrated blow-off system comes into effect if working with a dust extractor. A di- rected jet of air ensues that chips do not obscure the scribe mark.

Working with the tool

With the tool switched off and un- plugged, check for tight fit of the sawblade before starting work.

Always apply the pendulum jigsaw to

the workpiece with the sawblade running.

ing to the scribe mark

11.1

The point at the leading edge of the splinterguard [11.1] points to the blade cut line, making it easier to cut to a scribe mark.

out pilot drilling

The base runner must be in the front position for plunge cuts in wood materials (basic setting).
