procedures, hold the base plate in position
and firmly tighten the bolts to clamp the base
plate at that angle. Finally, check the angle
and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped.
The angle markings on the base plate are
accurate for most general purposes but it is
recommended for accurate work to set the
angle with a protractor and make a test cut on
other material.
12. DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTOR
The adapter (12) rotates anti-clockwise inside
the housing and locks in position by a groove
inside the housing (See J).The adapter must
then be connected to a suitable external dust
extraction machine.
13. PROTECTION FINGER
The finger is located in front of the blade
holder. Whilst working, it will help prevent
accidental contact with moving blade.
14. DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE
This is a small aperture located underneath the
housing just behind the blade guide. Ensure this
is kept clean to allow the airflow to continually
blow dust away from the cutting area.

15. SPLINTERING PROTECTOR
The splintering protector (17) prevents the
splintering of the surface when sawing in
wooden materials. Press the splintering
protector from below into the base plate (See K).
16. WORK LIGHT ON/OFF
Press the work light on/off (14) to turn on the
light, or press the work light on/off (14) to turn
it off (See L). Caution: Do not look into the
strong light or see the source of light directly.
Warning: The parallel guide as well
as the splintering protector can
only be used for the 0º (normal) position.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
JIG SAW
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.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. Always ensure

the work–piece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. For easier control, use low
speed to start cutting, then increase to correct
speed.
Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the cut.The blade cuts on the
upward stroke and may chip the uppermost.
Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-
visible surface when your work is finished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most
laminates and thin wood materials.To reduce
edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at
both ends on both sides and cut through the
wood during cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting
tight circles or angles.
PLUNGE SAWING
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft
materials such as wood, aerated concrete,
gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the
workpiece and switch on. Press the machine
firmly against the workpiece and plunge the
saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base
plate rests on the work piece, continue to saw
along the cutting line. (See fig M)
METAL CUTTING
Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and
a coarse tooth blade for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metals always clamp
wood on both sides of the sheet to reduce
vibration or tearing of the sheet metal. Both
wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not
force the cutting blade when cutting thin metal
or sheet steel, as they are harder materials
and will take longer to cut. Excessive blade
force may reduce the life of the blade or
damage the motor.To reduce heat during
metal cutting, add a little lubricant along the
cutting line.
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
