Switching on and off
1. Connect the tool to mains power
2. Switch on the tool by pushing the On/Off Switch (3) forward and press down on the front to
lock it in the on position (Images A & B)
3. Press down on the rear of the On/Off Switch which will cause the spring-loaded switch to
move instantly to the stop position
Making a cut
WARNING: Ensure the Guard Blade Release (11) guard window and Blade Guard Bar (10)
are in good condition and correctly positioned to prevent fingers touching the teeth of the
blade in use
1. Position the front of the Base (4) on the edge of the workpiece (Image M) and start the saw
2. Allow the blade to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece
3. Slowly guide the jigsaw forward using both hands, keeping the Base against the workpiece
4. Do not force the saw: allow the blade and the saw to do the work. Use only enough
pressure to keep the blade cutting
Pocket and circular cutting
• When starting a cut within a workpiece, drill a 12mm diameter hole on the waste side of the
cut to ensure there is clearance for the blade (Image L)
• When cutting tight curves, reduce the speed of the saw (Image K)
WARNING: Do not move the saw forward along its cut until the blade has completely entered
the material and the shoe comes to rest on its surface.
Using the parallel guide
• Use the Parallel Guide to guide the jigsaw along a straight line, which can be an edge of the
workpiece or a piece of straight timber clamped to the workpiece
• The fence is particularly useful for ensuring consistency when cutting multiple strips from a
single piece of material
Cutting metal
• When cutting metals, a suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used
• Apply the lubricant to the blade or workpiece at regular intervals during cutting in order to
reduce wear on the blade
Accessories
• Accessories for your jigsaw, including blades for different kinds of materials and cuts, are
available from your Triton stockist. Spare parts can be obtained at www.toolsparesonline.

Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
1. To replace the carbon brushes remove the Brush Access Screw (15) and carefully pull off
the cover at the rear of the tool
2. Remove the small screw (Image G) and lift the frame that holds the carbon brush up by
about 12mm (1/2") then carefully remove the electrical connector (arrowed in Image H)
3. Push the connector with bare multi-strand copper wire through the frame as you remove
the old worn carbon brush
4. Fit the connector and wire of the new brush through the frame before placing the new
carbon brush into the frame
5. Connect the electrical connector (Image H)
6. Carefully fit the frame back into the recess and secure with the screw
7. Visually check the frame is correctly fitted
8. Repeat steps 2-7 for the other carbon brush
9. Refit the Base Cover (5) and the Brush Access Screw ensuring the mains cable is not caught
and the Variable Speed Dial (14) is lined up correctly
10.Remove any blades from the tool and connect to the mains
11.Run the tool at a slow speed initially and then increase the speed to ensure the tool is
operating correctly
