5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system (Figure
8/Item 6)
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner using
n
the adaptor for dust extraction (6). This will
provide excellent dust extraction on the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will protect
both the equipment and your own health. Your
work area will also be cleaner and safer.
Dust created when working may be dangerous.
n
Refer to the section entitled "Safety instructions".
Fit the adapter (6) as shown in Figure 8. The
n
adapter (6) must audibly engage to ensure that it
is secure in the soleplate (7). The adapter for chip
extraction (6) cannot be used for miter cuts.
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner onto
n
the adaptor opening (6). Check that the
connections are airtight.
5.6 Holder for saw blades (Fig. 9/Item 4)
There is a holder for saw blades on the jigsaw (4).
This holder can be taken off the machine. To do this,
slide the holder backwards. To secure the holder (4)
place it in the appropriate guides and then slide the
holder forwards.
6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 10/Item 3)
To switch on:
Press the ON/OFF (3) switch
To switch off:
Release the ON/OFF (3) switch
6.2 Locking button (Fig. 10/Item 2)
You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the locking
button (2) when the equipment is in operation. To lock
it, press the ON/OFF switch (3) and slide the locking
button (2) to the left or right. To switch off the
equipment briefly hold down the ON/OFF switch (3).
6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 11/Item 1)
You can pre-select the required speed with the speed
selector. Turn the speed selector in PLUS director to
increase the speed and turn the speed selector in
MINUS direction to reduce the speed. The suitable
stroke speed is dependent on the relevant material
and working conditions.
General rules for cutting speeds for metal cutting
work must be complied with here as well.
You can generally use a higher speed with fine saw
blades whilst coarser saw blades require lower
speeds.
26
Position 1-2 = low stroke speed (for steel)
Position 3-4 = medium stroke speed (for steel, soft
metal, plastic)
Position 5-6 = high stroke speed (for softwood,
hardwood, soft metal, plastic)
6.4 Setting the pendulum action (Fig. 12/Item 8)
The strength of the pendulum action of the saw
n
blade (12) can be adjusted using the selector
switch for pendulum action (8).
You can adjust the cutting speed, the cutting
n
performance and the finish to the workpiece you
wish to saw.
Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to one
of the following positions:
Position 0: No pendulum action
Material: Rubber, ceramic, aluminium, steel
Please note: For fine and clean cuts, thin materials
(e.g. sheet steel) and hard materials.
Position 1: Small pendulum action
Material: Plastic, wood, aluminium
Please note: For hard materials
Position 2: Medium pendulum action
Material: Wood
Position 3: Large pendulum action
Material: Wood
Please note: For soft materials and sawing along the
grain
The best combination of speed and pendulum action
depends on the material you wish to saw. We
recommend you to make a trial cut on a waste piece
in order to check the ideal settings.
6.5 LED lamp (Fig. 13/Item 16)
The LED lamp (16) can be used in poor lighting
conditions to additionally illuminate the cutting
position. Press the switch (17) to switch on. To switch
off, press the switch (17) again.
6.6 Making cuts
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (3) is not
n
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have fitted a
n
saw blade.
Use only saw blades that are in perfect condition.
n
Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw blades
immediately.
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish
n
to saw. Switch on the jigsaw.
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches
n
