Combined laser light/ | Y | |
LED switch | ||
|
This jigsaw is fitted with two forms of lighting to assist in maintaining accurate alignment with the cut line.
Both can be switched on and off using switch (12). See fig. (Y).
Move switch (12) to the top position to activate the laser beam. Move it to the bottom position to activate the LED light. The mid position switches off both forms of lighting.
•Use the laser to assist in aligning the blade with the cut line during operation.
•The LED worklight produces broader lighting and is better used in
Laser aperture
When the REDEYE® laser line is switched on, an intense
narrow beam of pure red light is emitted from the laser aperture (13). 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.
WARNINGS
•Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
•Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.
•Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
•Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective surfaces. ie. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
•Only turn laser beam on when tool is on the workpiece.
To use the laser wait until you have commenced cutting then set the laser light on/off switch (12) to the on position.
Maintain alignment of the beam and your cut line while slowly feeding the jigsaw through the cut.
Safety
Eye, ear and respiratory protection should be worn at all times when using the jigsaw.

(15)can be fitted to the dust extraction port (14) to allow 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 (fig Z).
WARNING. Do not use a dust | a |

dust. |

Note. When not being used, the dust extraction adaptor (15) can be disconnected from the jigsaw
shoe by pressing down on the thumb tab and pulling it out from the shoe (fig a).
Operation
General cutting
Note. Ensure that the blade is the correct type for the application and that the length will extend through the workpiece on the upstroke of the cut.
Determine how the jigsaw is best configured for the job - whether the job is best carried out with the handle on or off, scrolling function on or off or pendulum action on or off.
Configure the jigsaw as required.
