Refitting a new blade
1.Ensure the blade change control (12) is pressed down, slide the new blade into the locating groove in the blade clamp with the teeth pointing forward, ensuring that the blade rear edge is located and supported by the blade guide (7).
2.Release the blade change control and the blade will secure firmly in place.
3.Replace the plug and run the jigsaw under no load to check that it runs smoothly and the blade is secure before using it to cut any materials.
Dust extraction adaptor
The dust extraction adaptor (13) allows a dust extraction system or a household vacuum cleaner to be connected to the tool in order to remove dust whilst the tool is in use.
WARNING. Do not use a dust extraction system or a vacuum cleaner when cutting metal. Sparks may ignite residual wood dust.
Blade storage
Both sides of the shoe have blade storage area for one blade each. Slide the blade storage tab to the left for the left side or to the right for the right side. A blade can then be inserted or removed from the shoe.
Using the REDEYE® laser line system
Laser light assembly
The laser light is powered from a transformer housed within the assembly. The REDEYE® laser line can be used for improved operator cutting vision, accuracy of cut, faster set- up and increased safety of operation.
Laser light on/off switch
The laser beam can be switched on and off using the switch (1).
Laser aperture
When the REDEYE® laser line is switched on, an intense narrow beam of pure red light is emitted from the laser aperture (15). The line shines along the work piece to guide you as you cut. The line is clearly visible and will not be obscured by sawdust.
Maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1.Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2.Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the grills near the motor and around the trigger switch. Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning.
3.
4.If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
5.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with the saw.
