Assembly
Warning! Before attempting any of the following operations,
make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged and that
the saw blade has stopped. Used saw blades may be hot.
Fitting the saw blade (fi g. A - KFBES500)
Hold the saw blade (7) as shown, with the teeth facing
forward.
Push the locking lever (3) away from the shoe plate (4).
Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder (8)
as far as it will go.
Adjust the saw blade support roller (17) as described
above.
Release the locking lever (3).
Fitting the saw blade (fi g. A - KFBES410)
Before fi tting or removing the saw blade (7) the saw blade
support roller (17) must be adjusted to the rear position so
that it does not contact the blade.
Loosen (do not remove) the two screws (18).
Hold the saw blade (7) with the teeth facing forward.
Insert the shank of the saw blade (7) into the blade holder
(8) as far as it will go.
Slightly tighten the two screws (18) alternately to position
the blade, then fully tighten the two screws (18).
Adjust the saw blade support roller (17) as described
above.
To remove the saw blade (7), turn both screws (18) one
turn counterclockwise.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner to the tool
(fi g. B - KFBES500)
Slide the vacuum nozzle (9) into the dust extration
outlet (5).
Use
Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fi g. C)
Warning! Never use the tool when the saw shoe plate is loose
or removed.
The shoe plate (4) can be set to a left or right bevel angle
of 45°.
Loosen the screws (10). Some models have one screw.
Pull the shoe (4) forward, rotate the shoe to the left or right
and push it back into the 45° location. (KFBES500).
Push the shoe (4) back, rotate to the right and pull it back
into the 45° location. (KFBES410 only).
Tighten the screw.
6
To reset the shoe plate (4) for 90° cuts:
Loosen the screw (10).
Pull the shoe (4) forward, rotate to the centre and push it
back into the 0° location.
Tighten the screw.
Variable speed control (KFBES500)
Use a high speed for wood, medium speed for aluminium
and PVC and low speed for metals other than aluminium.
Switching on and off
To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch
(KFBES500) or the On/Off switch (KBES410) (1).
On KFBES500 units the speed depends on how far you
depress the switch.
For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2) and
press the variable speed switch. This option is available
only at full speed.
To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.
To switch the tool off, when in continuous operation, press
the variable speed switch once more and release it.
How to Use the Sightline
®
Use a pencil to mark the cutting line.
Position the jig saw over the line (11).
Viewing from directly above the jig saw, the line of cut can be
followed easily.
Cutting mode (KFBES500 only)
Pendulum stroke or action provides a more aggressive blade
motion and is designed for cutting soft materials such as wood
or plastic. It provides a faster cut, but with a less smooth cut
across the material. Your jig saw has a Pendulum Stroke dial.
Use of this dial is explained in the next section.
Note: Never use pendulum action to cut metal.
Pendulum Stroke dial (fi g. E - KFBES500 only)
The KS701PE has these four cutting modes with increasing
amounts of pendulum action:
Position 0: metal and aluminium and sheet metal
(no pendulum action).
Position 1: for laminates, hard wood, work tops.
Position 2: for plywood and PVC/Plastics.
Position 3: for soft wood and fast cutting.
To adjust the pendulum action:
Rotate the Pendulum Stroke dial (6) to the required
position.
Sawing
Hold the tool fi rmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe plate (4) should be held fi rmly against the material
being cut.
