•
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the
rear again, it will only function in the locking
positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which are
marked on the graduated scale for the sole-
plate (9) (Figure 4). Move the soleplate into
the required position and refasten the screw
securing the soleplate (11).
•
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, move the soleplate
(7) forwards, set the desired angle and refas-
ten the screw securing the soleplate (11).
5.4 Adapter for dust extraction system (Figu-
re 5)
The jigsaw is equipped with an adapter for the
vacuum cleaner connection. Place the adaptor
onto the jigsaw and secure by turning it. Any va-
cuum cleaner can be connected to the extractor
adaptor. Check that the connections are air-tight.
Dust created when working may be dangerous.
Be sure to observe the safety instructions.
6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3)
To switch on:
Press the ON/OFF switch
To switch off :
Release the ON/OFF switch
6.2 Locking button (Fig. 6/Item 2)
You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the lo-
cking button (2) when the equipment is in operati-
on. To switch off the equipment briefl y hold down
the ON/OFF switch (3).
6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 6/Item 1)
You can pre-select the required speed with the
speed selector. Turn the speed selector in PLUS
director to increase the speed and turn the speed
selector in MINUS direction to reduce the speed.
The suitable stroke speed is dependent on the
relevant material and working conditions.
General rules for cutting speeds for metal cutting
work must be complied with here as well.
You can generally use a higher speed with fi ne
saw blades whilst coarser saw blades require
lower speeds.
Position 1-2 = low stroke speed (for steel)
Anl_SA_TC_JS_60_E_SPK8.indb 28
Anl_SA_TC_JS_60_E_SPK8.indb 28
GB
Position 3-4 = medium stroke speed (for steel,
soft metal, plastic)
Position 5-6 = high stroke speed (for softwood,
hardwood, soft metal, plastic)
6.4 Making cuts
•
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (3) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
•
Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have
fitted a saw blade.
•
Use only saw blades that are in perfect con-
dition. Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw
blades immediately.
•
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you
wish to saw. Switch on the jigsaw.
•
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it
reaches full speed. Then slowly move the saw
blade along the cutting line. Only exert gentle
pressure on the saw blade as you do so.
•
When cutting metal, apply a suitable coolant
along the line you wish to cut.
6.5 Sawing out sections (Fig. 7-8)
Drill a 10 mm hole in the section you wish to saw
out. Insert the saw blade into this hole and start to
saw out the required section.
6.6 Making miter cuts
•
Set the angle on the soleplate (see section
5.3).
•
Observe the instructions in section 6.4.
•
Cut as shown in Figure 9.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
authorized after-sales service or similarly trained
personnel to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
