2.With a blade fitted move the variable speed dial (8) to number 3 (low speed).

3.Apply pressure to the front of the anti splinter guard on the edge of a work surface until it is flat with the front edge of the shoe plate (18) (fig Ha & Hb).

Changing a blade

Note. This jigsaw is fitted with a tool-free mechanism for fast and simple “T” and “U” shank blade removal and fitting.

WARNING. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and plug is removed from the power point before changing blades or making any adjustments.

Removing the blade

Remove the blade guard (6) to I

afford better access to the blade clamp.

Push the tool-free blade change control (17) upwards towards the top of the jigsaw, making sure that your fingers do not contact the teeth of the blade (fig I).

With the blade change control (17) in its uppermost position, remove the blade by pulling it downwards towards the base of the jigsaw.

Refitting a new blade

Push the blade change control (17) to its uppermost position and slide the new blade into the locating groove in the blade clamp with the teeth pointing forward. Make sure that the back of the blade is located and supported by the blade guide (7) (fig I).

Release the blade change control (17) to secure the blade firmly in place.

Reposition the blade guard (6).
	J
Replace the plug and run the
jigsaw under no load to check
that it runs smoothly and the
blade is secure before using it to
cut any materials.

Blade storage
To gain access to the blade
storage areas (24), open the
release tabs (25) located at each	K
corner of the rear of the shoe
plate (18) (fig J).
Pendulum adjustment
Note. The blade can be set to
produce a front to rear swinging
(pendulum) action when cutting.
This can increase the jigsaws
cutting efficiency, depending on
the material being cut.	L

The pendulum action is functional on pendulum lever positions 1, 2

&3 – the higher the setting the greater the pendulum action. Note.Increasing the swing of the pendulum action results in a rougher finish to the cutting edge.

The scrolling control knob (4) must be positioned forward (with the arrow on the scrolling knob and jigsaw housing aligned) before the pendulum can be engaged (fig K).

Rotate the pendulum lever (5)

(fig L) to the position that best suits the job, as follows:

Position S. SCROLLING – for the cutting of all materials and with manual 360° rotation of the blade using the scrolling controlling knob (4).

Position 0. SMOOTH - for cutting mild steel / soft materials

/all materials with normal up and down blade motion with minimal splintering.
