10. DUST COLLECTION
Always make sure that the tool is switched
off before fitting or removing any dust
extraction device.
Dust collection keeps the workplace clean, prevents dust
build-up in the air and facilitates waste elimination.
During prolonged operations with wood or
in professional applications with materials
that produce harmful dust, a suitable ex-
ternal dust collection must be connected.
These jig saws are fitted with adapter M (Fig. 7) which
can be coupled to a Virutex dust collector or other dust
collector device.
Installing the dust collection adapter
To install adapter M (Fig. 7), it should be inserted into
support base L from the rear of the guide and pushed
downwards until it locks in place. It can be removed by
pressing lower adapter tab N and pulling it backwards
until it comes out of support base L.
11. WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
It is possible to cut wood without having made a previous
drill hole, allowing the blade to slowly penetrate into the
material with the machine in operation. However, this
does require a certain amount of experience.
Support the front edge of base plate L inclining the
machine upwards and switch it on. Support the machine
firmly against the work-piece and slowly lower it so that
the saw blade penetrates the work-piece.
Once the material has been cut through, place the
machine into its normal operating position so that the
base plate is seated on its entire surface area and con-
tinue the sawing operation according to requirements.
When sawing is completed, first switch the machine off
and then remove the blade from the saw slot.

14. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Always make sure the machine is discon-
nected from the mains before performing
any operation.
• Saw blade inspection: Only sharp blades in perfect
condition should be used. Cracked, bent or jagged saw
blades should be immediately replaced.
• Inspect the mounting screws: Regularly inspect all
the mounting screws and ensure they are firmly tighte-
ned. Should any screw be loose, tighten it immediately.
Failure to do so could put you at serious risk.
• Motor maintenance: Always take the greatest care
over this and make sure that the motor winding is not
damaged and/or becomes wet with oil or water.
• Always keep the vents clean and free of obstruction.
• Clean the machine thoroughly after each use. Blast
the motor regularly with compressed air.
• The saw blade retaining lever ("Quick Fix" systems) must
be regularly cleaned, especially when sawing material
which produces large amounts of dust. This will ensure
correct retaining lever operation.
• The saw blade guide should be lubricated now and
again with a drop of oil and, at the same time, checked
for wear. If it is worn, after prolonged use, it should be
replaced at the VIRUTEX Technical Assistance Centre.
• Check that the mains cable is in good condition. If it is
not, take it to an Official Service Centre to have it
replaced.
• Greasing
(to be performed by an official technician)
The screws on the gear head must not be loosened
during the warranty period. Otherwise the warranty
will be invalid.
The grease should be renewed after 1,500 hours of use.
15. BRUSH REPLACEMENT
Always make sure the machine is discon-
nected from the mains before performing
any operation.
