Making a cut

WARNING. The blade guard

(6)should always be in place when the jigsaw is in use.

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. 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

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.

Parallel fence

The parallel fence (9) fits into the shoe plate (4) and is locked in place with the locking knob. It is used to guide the jigsaw along a straight line which can be an edge of the work piece or a piece of straight timber clamped to the work

piece. By changing the position of the guide and using the same straight edge as a guide, it is possible to quickly and easily make parallel cuts in the work piece.

Blade guide

The blade guide (7) is spring loaded. Depending on the position of the pendulum lever (10), the guide remains stationary (non-pendulum) or oscillates backwards and forwards, causing the blade to cut with a pendulum action.

Changing a blade

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

Removing the blade

1.Turn the unit upside so you can access the jigsaw blade

2.Using your thumb and forefinger push down the tool free blade change control on both sides on the jigsaw blade ensuring that your fingers do not contact the teeth of the jigsaw blade.

3.Whilst the tool-free blade change control (12) is pressed down the blade to be replaced is free and can be easily removed by using your other hand.

NOTE. If the blade is difficult to release using the blade change control, lightly tap the end of the blade with a wooden mallet or similar. This will free the blade which can then be released as before using the blade change control.
