Unpacking Your Jigsaw
•
Carefully unpack your jigsaw. Ensure all packaging materials are removed and
fully familiarise yourself with all features of the product.
•
If any parts are damaged or missing, have these parts repaired or replaced
before use.
Operating Instructions
Before you use your jigsaw, it is recommended that you practice on scrap material.
The settings of the machine are crucial to achieving a good quality finish, and your
work could easily be damaged by using an incorrect setting.
WARNING: Always disconnect the saw from the mains power supply
before making adjustments or changing accessories.
Fitting a blade
•
Always check that a suitable blade is selected for the job that is to be done
(refer to blade manufacturers literature before use).
•
Only fit blades that are in perfect condition. Blunt, bent, and cracked blades
should be discarded.
•
Lift and hold the blade release catch (2), invert the jigsaw.
•
Position the blade (12) into the locking mechanism, so that the rear edge of the
blade rests against the guide roller.
•
Lower the blade release catch (2). Ensure that the blade is fully secure before
use.
•
To remove a blade, lift the blade release catch (2), and withdraw the blade from
the underside of the saw.
Setting pendulum action
•
This jigsaw features a pendulum cutting function. Pendulum action enables
more efficient cutting.
•
For fast cutting and thick material, set the pendulum action selector (10) to a
high number.
•
For fine cutting and thin material, set the pendulum action selector (10) to a
low number.
•
Practice using different pendulum settings to achieve the best finish for your
material.
Setting bevel angle
•
This jigsaw is equipped with a tilting shoe (9). This allows bevel cuts to be made
up to 45˚ to the left or right hand side
•
To alter the angle of the shoe, slacken the bevel locking screws (14) and slide
the shoe backwards. The shoe will now be free to pivot.
•
Adjust the shoe to the angle required, slide forward, and re-tighten the bevel
locking screws (14). Ensure that the shoe is secure before use.

Setting cutting speed
•
Always set the machine speed to suit the material being cut.
•
For soft materials use a high cutting speed.
•
For hard materials use a low cutting speed. If cutting metal, a suitable cutting
fluid should be used.
•
To alter the cutting speed, rotate the speed control dial (5). A high number
indicates a high cutting speed.
Dust Control
•
This jigsaw should always be connected to a vacuum dust extraction system
where possible.
•
Vacuum attachments are a push fit into the dust extraction port (8).
Handling your jigsaw
•
Always ensure that the on/off power switch is NOT in the locked on position
before connecting to the power supply.
•
Always hold the jigsaw securely using the handle provided. Keep hands well
away from all moving parts.
•
Allow the motor and blade to come to a complete stop before placing the
machine down. Always unplug the machine if it is to be left unattended.
•
Ensure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where appropriate.
•
For some tasks it may be preferable to lock the machine in the "on" position.
To do this, squeeze the on/off trigger switch (6) and depress the lock on button
(7). The machine will now continue to run until the trigger switch is squeezed
and released.
Making a cut
•
Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool requires safety
goggles, gloves, ear defenders, and a good quality dust mask or respirator.
•
Hold the jigsaw securely and rest the front edge of the shoe (9) on the edge of
the work piece.
•
If starting a cut away from the edge of the work piece, drill a pilot hole large
enough for the blade to pass through where you wish to start the cut.
•
Check that the blade is not in contact with the work piece, or any other object.
•
Start the machine by squeezing the on/off switch (6).
•
Allow the motor to reach full speed, and smoothly push the jigsaw forwards
across the work piece.
•
Maintain a steady movement, and ensure that the sole plate is kept pressed
against the work. Ensure that the power lead is kept well away from the front of
the saw as the cut is made.
•
Allow the blade to pass through the material, then release the trigger switch.
Alternatively, if the cut does not reach the edge of the work piece, release the
trigger switch and allow the blade to stop moving before lifting out of the cut.
•
Do not place the machine down until the motor and blade have completely
stopped.
Laser radiation
do not stare into the beam
CLass 2 Laser
P<1mW
Operating the laser
WARNING: Do not stare into the beam. Never direct the beam towards other
people. The beam should only be aimed towards solid, non reflective, materials. Do
not switch the laser on until the saw is positioned against the work piece.
•
To operate the laser press the laser button (4). The laser will switch on. The
laser line indicates the cut that will be made if the saw is moved forward in a
straight line.
•
Pressing the laser button (4) again will switch the laser off.
•
The alignment of the laser line can be altered using the laser adjustment screws
(3). To move the laser line to the left, slacken the left hand screw and tighten
the right hand screw. To move the laser line to the right, slacken the right hand
screw and tighten the left hand screw
Using the parallel guide fence
•
When working parallel to an edge, the parallel guide fence (13) should be used.
•
The guide fence locates in the front of the shoe (9) and is secured by tightening
the guide locking screws (11).
•
To follow an edge, simply make a cut, whilst keeping the vertical foot of the
guide fence pressed against the edge to be followed
