of inclination numbers (a) are stamped onto the
curved bracket on top of the base plate to help you
to set the required angle.
Check the guide roller before tightening. Firmly
tighten the Allen screws to secure.
4. USING THE LASER GUIDE (SEE FIG.N)
Never stare directly into the laser beam and
never point the beam at anybody. The laser beam
energy is extremely harmful to your eyes.
1. The laser generator is for the purpose of
precision cutting, and projects a visible red line on
the workpiece surface, make your mitre cut along
the red line.
2. To use the laser generator, simply press the
laser guide on/off switch (4), the laser generator
then projects a visible red line on the workpiece
surface, make your mitre cut along the red line. To
turn off the laser, press the switch again.

Note: The saw dust may block the laser beam,
clean the laser generator Periodically.
Switch off the laser when you stop the machine.
The laser does not switch off automatically.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR TOOL
1. Here is some advice on the pendulum action
control. The saw blade is only pressed against
the material on the return stroke/working
stroke. It is moved away from the material
on the forward stroke. This results in better
removal of chips, less friction and therefore a
higher output.
2. To avoid the jigsaw springing up and down
when sawing sheets, clamp wood on both
sides of the sheet. When cutting metal, apply
coolant oil along the cutting line.
3. Adjust the speed and the pendulum action
settings to suit the material to be sawn. We
always recommend that you carry out a test
cut first.

4. To use the jigsaw, put the front end of the
base plate on the material and turn the
machine on. Press the machine from above
onto the material and guide the jig saw along
the cutting line.
5. Do not use too much pressure to achieve the
best progress when sawing.
6. When sawing along a marked line use the
marking on the splitting guard as a guide.
7. For exact cutting, clamp a timber batten onto
the material as an aid or use the parallel
guide.
8. For mitres/bevels cut, set the base plate in the
required position.
9. Set the base plate to its rearmost position for
cutting close to an edge.
10. If your power tool becomes too hot, especially
when used at low speed, set the speed to
maximum and run no load for 2-3 minutes to
cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very
low speeds.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication
or maintenance. There are no user serviceable
parts in your power tool. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of
dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through
the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not
damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
