Working hints for your jigsaw
If your power tool becomes too hot, please run your jigsaw no load
for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low
speeds.
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to
be cut. For tight curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade. When
sawing metal or similar materials, apply coolant/lubricant alongside
the cutting line.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. 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.
For easier control, use low speed to start cutting and then increase to
correct speed.
In order to avoid operation malfunctions, do not saw gypsum board
from below or overhead.
The guide roller should occasionally be checked for wear and
lubricated with a drop of oil. If it is worn, it must be replaced.

PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig.E)
The parallel guide (13) enables exact cuts along a workpiece edge
and cutting strips of the same dimension.

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 CUTTING (See Fig.F, G)
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.
When the base plate fully lays on the surface, continue sawing along
the cutting line.
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
Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery pack.
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
