Inserting The Saw Blade; Removing The Saw Blade - Ratio PRO XF100 Manual De Instrucciones

INSERTING THE SAW
BLADE
To open the blade holder (13) rotate the ring
anti-clockwise (Jigsaw upside down) and
hold in position (See Fig E). Then fully insert
the blade into the blade holder slot with blade
teeth facing forward and release the ring,
which will self rotate and clamp over the top
of the blade. Push the blade into the blade
holder again to ensure it is locked in position.
Ensure the edge of the blade is located in the
groove of the blade guide (See Fig F).
REMOVING THE SAW
BLADE
To remove a blade, hold the blade and rotate the
blade holder ring anti-clockwise then lift out the
blade (blade could be spring ejected).
WARNING: blade teeth are very sharp.
For best cutting results ensure you use a blade
suited to the material and cut quality you need.
6. MOUNTING PARALLEL GUIDE (See
Fig. G1, G2.)
Slide the parallel guide arm through both parallel
guide fixtures and tighten the locking knob (a)
to achieve the required cutting distance. The
parallel guide can be mounted in two positions
as shown in G1and G2.

7. ROLLER GUIDE
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in
the groove (See Fig. F) otherwise the pendulum
function will not work correctly and the blade will
not be supported during cutting.
8. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL (See
Fig. H)
The pendulum action varies the forward
cutting angle of the blade for increased cutting
efficiency. This can also be adjusted during
no load running. Refer to the chart 2 for more
details. Do not use excessive blade force when
cutting with the pendulum action. The blade cuts
on the upward stroke only.

9. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (7) enables
bevel cutting. The base plate must always be
held firmly against the materials being cut to
reduce saw vibration, blade jumping or blade
breakage.
10. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Your jig saw is equipped the SDS base plate.
Hold the SDS spanner and turn it 90°（See fig.
I） For preset angles rotate so the lines of the
angle on the base plate（7） and angle plate (8)
superposition at the desired angle (0°, 15°, 30°,
45°) (See Fig J). For other mitre angles, rotate
to your desired angle (use a protractor scale).
Following one of the above procedures, hold
the base plate in position and return the SDS
spanner to clamp the base plate at that angle.
