Global Machinery Company SPJ2HM Trigger switch, Blade guard, Blade guide, Anti splintering insert

Trigger switch
Note. The trigger switch is only used in the conventional
jigsaw mode, when the
removable handle is fitted.	A
Pull up on the trigger switch (1)
to turn the jigsaw on. To turn
off the tool, release the trigger
switch (fig A).
CAUTION. Allow the blade
to come to a complete standstill
before setting the jigsaw down.
Lock-on button	B
Note.The lock-on button
eliminates the need to hold
the trigger switch (1) on during
prolonged operation.
With the trigger engaged in the
“on” position, push in the lock-
on button (3) to lock the trigger
switch “ON” (fig B).

To release the lock-on, engage and release trigger switch (1).
On/off switch
	C
Note. The on/off switch (2) is
used only in the barrel saw
mode, when the removable
handle (9) has been taken off
the jigsaw.

Push the on/off switch (2) forward and up over the latching ramp to lock the switch on (fig C).

To turn off the tool, press the	D
back of the switch and lift it over
the latching ramp (fig D).

CAUTION. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before setting the jigsaw down.

Blade guard E

The blade guard (6) should always be in position when operating the jigsaw. It can be removed to allow easier access when changing blades (fig E).

Blade guide

The grooved disc blade guide

(7) is spring loaded so that it canF accomodate varying jigsaw blade

widths. It supports the back edge of the blade, keeping it running straight and helping to prevent the blade from bending which improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance of blade breakage (fig F).

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

Anti splintering insert
Because jigsaws cut on the up	Ga
stroke, the top layer of wood,
particularly plywood, tends to
tear and splinter thus obscuring
the line of the cut and causing a
rough edge. The splinter insert
supports the wood fibres on the
top layer of the workpiece and
greatly reduces the splintering
effect.	Gb
1. With the power off, slide the
anti splinter insert (23) up to
the jigsaw blade (fig Ga & Gb).
Ensure the jigsaw’s pendulum
lever (5) is switched to zero
(ie. Position 1).
