Note. For accurate work it is necessary to do a practise cut first. Check the cut and reset the angle until the correct cut is achieved.
Variable speed dial | S |
|
Note. Adjusting the speed to suit the application enhances cutting performance and saves the blade from undue wear. To determine optimum cutting speed, first perform test cuts on offcuts of the workpiece.
Rotate the dial (8), located at the
back of the jigsaw to set the blade speed (fig S). Position “1” denotes the lowest speed.
Position “6” denotes the highest speed.
Barrel mode
Note. The handle (9) can be
removed to allow the tool to beT operated as a barrel jigsaw.
This permits better control when using the scroll function and when cutting
To remove the handle (9) first grip the handle with the rear
of the saw to the front. ThenU use your thumb to lift the
handle release catch (10) and simultaneously pushing the handle towards the rear of the saw.
The handle will slide backwards and can be removed from
the tool (fig U).
To refit the handle, slide the |
| |
V | ||
handle into position with the | ||
| ||
handle locating pin (11) in the |
| |
slot at the back of the jigsaw |
| |
housing. Push it fully forward |
| |
until the handle release catch |
| |
(10) locks positively into position |
| |
(fig V). |
| |
Note. When not in use, store |
| |
| ||
the handle in the carry case for |
| |
safe keeping. |
|
Parallel guide |
| ||
W | |||
Note. Use of parallel guide (20) | |||
| |||
permits accurate parallel cuts, |
| ||
from an edge, without the need |
| ||
to mark and follow a pencil line. |
| ||
The parallel guide can be used |
| ||
on the left or the right of the |
| ||
blade. Locate the parallel guide |
| ||
locking knob (21) on the side that |
|
| |
the fence will be used. |
| X | |
With the parallel guide locking |
|
| |
knob (21) loosened, slide the |
|
| |
guide (20) into the mounting slots |
|
| |
on the shoe plate, from either the |
|
| |
left or right hand side (fig W). |
|
| |
Slide the fence to the required |
|
| |
cut width and tighten the locking |
|
| |
|
| ||
knob to secure the fence |
| ||
in position (fig X). |

Laser sighting |
|
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 setup and increased safety of operation.
