wood supports, and clamp the layers to o eliminate vi-
bration and material tearing thus achieving a clean and
smooth cut. Lay out your pattern or line of cut on the top
layer.

portion of saw bar clean and free of metal chips by wip-
ing frequently with an cloth soaked in oil. Use extreme
caution in disposing of this cloth after completion of job
to prevent potential fire hazard.
DUST EXTRACTION
The jigsaw is delivered with a dust extraction adapter (9),
fitted to the base plate (TH 70Е) or the tool body (TH
65, TH 65E). The dust extraction adapter facilitates air
suction around the blade, thus extracting the dust and
chips from the cutting line to improve operator's scope
of vision.
TO INSTALL:
▪ Unplug the saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw may
result in accidental starting and possible serious injury.
▪ Attach the dust extraction adapter to the base plate
rear or to the body. (Fig.8)
▪ Connect the dust extraction adapter to a dust collec-
tion system or a vacuum cleaner.
TO REMOVE:
▪ Unplug the saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw may
result in accidental starting and possible serious injury.
▪ Draw out and remove the adapter.
PARALLEL GUIDE
The jigsaw is delivered with a parallel guide (12), which
is a convenient device for making crosscuts and rip cuts.
TO INSTALL:
▪ Unplug the saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw may
result in accidental starting and possible serious injury.
▪ Insert the parallel guide arm through the two slots in
the base plate. (Fig.9)
▪ Adjust the parallel guide to the desired distance from
the edge of material and fix it by the screws (13).
MAGNESIUM BASE PLATE (TH 70E)
The magnesium base plate (5) with a steel inlay provides
the highest possible stability and is intended for machin-
ing metal surfaces without the anti-scratch shoe (11).
For machining sensitive materials, the anti-scratch shoe
(11) prevents damaging the surface. To attach the anti-
scratch shoe (11), hook it onto the base plate (5) at the
front, press it up at the back and latch. (Fig.10)
