Your switch is now locked on for continuous use. To switch
off your tool just depress and release on/off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or decrease the speed
(See Fig. C) according to the material, material thickness
and blade specification to be used (also possible during no
load operation). See Chart 1 for general guidance on speed
selection.
Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as this may damage
your jigsaw's motor.

4. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst operating
your jigsaw.
5. BLADE FITTING (See Fig. D, E, F)
NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. Wear
protective gloves when assembling the saw blade. You can
only use the blade type shown in Fig D. Don't use other
blade types.
INSERTING THE SAW BLADE
To open the blade holder (15) rotate the ring 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
roller guide (10) (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 G1 and 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.

direction of the wood grain.
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
By factory default, the saw is set to a cutting angle of 0° or
90°. To improve the corner joints of work pieces, you can
adjust the shoe plate to perform mitre cuts. You can choose
from the following angles on both sides: 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°.
1.
Remove the shaving shield (17).
2.
Loosen the two fixing screws on the bottom of the
saw by gently unscrewing them anticlockwise with the
hex key (See Fig. I1).
To release the base plate with the cutting angle
adjustment from the locking mechanism, push the
base plate back or towards the vacuum cleaner
connection.
3.
Use the cutting angle adjustment to set the desired
angle (See Fig. I2). Refer to the scale embossed on
both sides.
4.
Push the base plate forward or towards the touch
guard to lock it again.
