Parallel cuts	g
Note. Parallel cuts can be
achieved using the parallel guide

(20)(fig g). or by clamping a straight edge to your workpiece (fig h).

Fit the parallel guide to the jigsaw shoe and position the guide against the edge of the

workpiece. Slide the jigsaw alongh until the blade lines up with your

cut line and tighten the guide locking knob.

Ensure that the guide remains evenly against the edge of the workpiece while cutting.

If the guide cannot be extended

enough to achieve your cut, clamp a straight batten onto the workpiece, positioning it until that the blade aligns with the cut line. Ensure the jigsaw shoe remains evenly against the batten during the cut.

Maintenance

Always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments or carying out any maintenance procedures.

Keep the tool’s air vents

unclogged and clean at all times. Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the grills near the motor and around the switches. Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.

If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.

Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with the tool.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an

authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
