Position 1. LOW – Minimal pendulum action for cutting most metal.
Position 2. MEDIUM – Medium pendulum action for cutting plastics, and hardwoods.
Position 3. FAST – Maximum pendulum action for the highest orbital action and faster cutting in plywood and soft woods.
Scrolling control
Note. The scrolling feature allows the blade to be rotated 360° for maximum blade control when cutting curves and intricate work.
Ensure you use a blade | M | ||
specifically intended for curve | |||
| |||
cutting (eg. scroll cutting blade). |
| ||
Do not place excess force when |
| ||
turning the blade as it may break. |
| ||
Set the pendulum lever (5) to |
| ||
Position “S” (fig M). |
| ||
Note. The scrolling feature |
| ||
| |||
will not operate if the lever is |
|
| |
| N | ||
positioned at 0,1,2 or 3. | |||
During operation place one hand firmly on the hand grip, place your other hand on the scrolling control knob (4) and rotate it
-using it to guide the blade along your cutting line (fig N).
To disengage the scroll function,
to enable standard or pendulumO action cutting, rotate the scrolling
control knob (4) back to the forward position (with the arrows on the scrolling control and jigsaw housing aligned) (fig O).
The pendulum lever (5) can |
|
|
| P | |
now be moved to the required |
| |
|
| |
position for straight, standard or |
|
|
pendulum cutting (fig P). |
|
|
Angle adjustment |
|
|
Note. The jigsaw shoe can |
|
|
be angled to enable bevel or |
|
|
chamfer cuts. There are preset |
|
|
|
| |
bevel settings at 0° and 45° for |
| |
quick adjustment. |
| |
Always ensure the tool is switched off and the plug |
| |
is removed before carrying out any adjustments or |
| |
maintenance procedures. |
| |
With the jigsaw upside down |
| |
Q | ||
on a solid surface loosen the | ||
hex screw located on the |
| |
underside of the tool using hex |
| |
key (26) (fig Q). |
| |
Move the shoe plate slightly |
| |
back. It can now be tilted to |
| |
the required angle (between |
| |
0° and 45°) as indicated on |
| |
angle scale (16) (fig R). | R | |
With the shoe plate inclined at | ||
| ||
45° left or right, or at 0°, the |
| |
plate can be locked at one of |
| |
these angles by sliding the |
| |
shoe plate forwards so that the |
| |
indentation in the bridge of the |
| |
sole plate fits over the bevel |
| |
| ||
locating pin (19). |
|
To secure the sole plate at a particular angle, retighten the hex screw.
