needing to drill a hole beforehand. Only use short
saw blades. Only at 0° angle setting.

(pendulum motion is deactivated). Position the
jigsaw with the front edge of the footplate (17) on the
workpiece. Hold the operating jigsaw firmly and
guide slowly downwards. Once the saw blade has
penetrated the workpiece, the pendulum motion
can be activated.
