WARNING: Take special care when cutting some woods (such as beech,
oak, mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause
extreme reactions. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection.
WARNING: DO NOT use a dust bag when cutting metal. Hot metal particles
and sparks could ignite residual wood dust, or cause the bag to catch fire.
Always connect the jigsaw to a workshop dust extraction system when
cutting metal. Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when switching from
cutting wood to sanding metal, and vice versa.
Setting bevel angle
• This jigsaw is equipped with a tilting Shoe (7). This allows bevel cuts to
be made up to 45° to the left or right hand side
1. To alter the angle of the shoe, invert the jigsaw and loosen the Bevel
Locking Screws (8) with a hex key . The shoe is now free to pivot
2. Adjust the shoe to the required angle and then tighten the Bevel Locking
Screws
Note: Ensure that the shoe is secured firmly in position prior to use.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, an adequate dust mask, hearing
protection and suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Note: Before you use your jigsaw, it is recommended that you practice on
scrap material.
Handling the jigsaw
• Ensure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where
appropriate
• ALWAYS ensure that the On/Off Trigger Switch (3) and Lock-On Button (4)
are NOT engaged before connecting the saw to the power supply
• ALWAYS hold the jigsaw securely using the handle provided. Keep hands
well away from all moving parts
• For some tasks it may be preferable to lock the machine in the 'on'
position. To do this, squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch and depress the
Lock-On Button. The machine will now continue to run until the trigger
switch is squeezed and released
WARNING: Allow the motor and blade to come to a complete stop before
placing the machine down. Always unplug the machine if it is to be left
unattended.
Making a cut
Note: ALWAYS wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool
requires eye protection, gloves, ear defenders, and good quality respiratory
protection.
1. Hold the jigsaw securely and rest the front edge of the Shoe (7) on the
edge of the workpiece
2. If starting a cut away from the edge of the workpiece, drill a pilot hole
large enough for the blade to pass through, where you wish to start
the cut
3. Check that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece, or any other
object
4. Start the machine by pressing the On/Off Trigger Switch (3)
5. Allow the motor to reach full speed, and smoothly push the jigsaw
forwards across the workpiece
6. Maintain a steady movement, and ensure that the Shoe is kept pressed
against the work. Ensure that the power lead is kept well away from the
front of the saw as the cut is made
7. Allow the blade to pass through the material, then release the trigger
switch. Alternatively, if the cut does not reach the edge of the workpiece,
release the trigger switch and allow the blade to stop moving before
lifting out of the cut
8. DO NOT place the machine down until the motor and blade have
completely stopped
Metal cutting
• ALWAYS use a suitable coolant/cutting oil when cutting metal. Failure to
do so will cause significant blade wear
• A continuous line of grease can be applied to the underneath of the
workpiece, instead of applying a a coolant from above
• Apply lubricant or cutting oil between the blade and roller when cutting
metal or other hard materials. Failure to do so will shorten the service life
of your blade and roller
Accessories
• Accessories for your jigsaw, including blades for different kinds of
materials and cuts, are available from your Silverline stockist. Spare parts

Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect the device from the power supply before
carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate
loose over time

Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre.
This advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and
gloves when cleaning this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to
wear quickly, and shorten the device's service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not
sufficient, a mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended
• Water must never come into contact with the tool
• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it
• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation
holes (where applicable)
Lubrication
• Regularly apply a suitable lubricant between the roller and the blade
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
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised Silverline service centre
