the particular application and type of material
you wish to cut. By doing this, you will get a
smoother, faster cut and prolong blade life.
ORBIT ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5)
The jigsaw has or-
bital action where-
by the blade roller
guide moves back
and forth to make
the
blade
swing
slightly as it cuts.
Orbital action in-
creases the speed of
cut but may result in
a rougher finish to the cut in some materials.
Set the orbit control lever to one of the four
settings according to degree of orbit action
required:
0 No orbit action
1 Minimal orbit action
2 Medium orbit action
3 Maximum orbit action for the most aggressive
action, for quick cutting plywood or soft mate-
rial.
Experiment on a piece of scrap material to de-
termine the optimum orbit action setting.
ADJUSTING THE SHOE FOR ANGULAR CUTTING
(FIG. 6&FIG. 7)
CAUTION:
Always
ensure
that
the
jigsaw is switched
off and the battery
pack
is
removed
before making any
adjustments.
1. Loosen the hex
screw
located
on
the underside of the
tool using hex key.
2. Move the shoe
plate backwards so
that the teeth on
the plate no longer
engage
with
the
retaining teeth and
the shoe can be
tilted to the left or
right.
3. Select 15°, 30° or
45° to the left or right or select 0°, and push
the shoe plate forward so that the teeth on the
plate mesh with the retaining teeth.
4. Retighten the hex screw.
E S P A Ñ O L •
The angle selected can be read on the cutting
angle guide on the shoe plate.
For accurate work it is necessary to make
a trial cut, then measure the work and reset the
angle with the shoe plate moved a little towards
the rear so that the teeth on the plate do not
mesh with the retaining teeth.
Repeat the trial cut and reset the angle setting
until the correct setting is achieved.
PARALLEL GUIDE (FIG. 8)
The parallel guide
fits into the shoe
plate and is locked
in place by the lock-
ing screw.
Use
the
parallel
guide
to
guide
the jigsaw along a
straight line which
can be an edge of a
workpiece or a piece of straight timber clamped
to the workpiece.
By changing the position of the guide and using
the same straight edge as a guide, it is possible
to quickly and easily make parallel cuts in the
workpiece.
NOTICE: When adjusting the cutting angle, you
can move the parallel guide locking screw to the
left or right.
MAKING A CUT (FIG. 9)
1. Turn on the jigsaw
and allow the blade
to reach maximum
speed. Do not allow
the blade to contact
the workpiece until
it has reached full
speed.
2. Slowly guide the
jigsaw forward us-
ing
both
hands,
keeping the shoe plate flat against the work-
piece.
NOTICE: Use only enough pressure to keep the
blade cutting. Do not force the cutting; allow
the blade and the saw to do the work.
STRAIGHT CUTING
A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece
of wood or a straight edge to the workpiece
and guiding the edge of the saw against it.
Make the cut from one direction only. NEVER
cut halfway and then complete the cut from the
opposite end.
