features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool
Operating Instructions
Before you use your jigsaw, it is recommended that you practice on scrap material.
The settings of the machine are crucial to achieving a good quality finish, and your
work could easily be damaged by using an incorrect setting.
WARNING: Always disconnect the saw from the mains power supply before
making adjustments or changing accessories.
Fitting a blade
• Always check that a suitable blade is selected for the job that is to be done
(refer to the blade manufacturers information before use)
• Only fit blades that are in perfect condition. Blunt, bent and cracked blades
should be discarded
• Invert the jigsaw, lift up the Guard (10)
• Pull forward the Blade Lock Lever (9) and insert the blade
• Release the Blade Lock Lever (9) and pull firmly on the blade to make sure it
is secure
Setting pendulum action
• This jigsaw features a pendulum cutting function. Pendulum action enables
more efficient cutting
• There are 4 settings, 0 – 4 as marked around the selector
• For fast cutting and thick material, set the Pendulum Action Selector (6) to a
high number
• For fine cutting and thin material, set the Pendulum Action Selector (6) to a
low number
• Practice using different pendulum settings to achieve the best finish for your
material
Setting bevel angle
• This jigsaw is equipped with a tilting Shoe (5). This allows bevel cuts to be made
up to 45º to the left or right hand side
• To alter the angle of the Shoe (5), invert the jigsaw and loosen the Bevel Locking
Screws (12), using the supplied 3mm Hex Key (14) The shoe is now free to pivot
• Adjust the shoe to the required angle and then tighten the Bevel Locking
Screws (12)
• NOTE: Ensure that the Shoe (5) is secured firmly in position prior to use
Setting cutting speed
• Always set the machine speed to suit the material being cut
• To alter the cutting speed, rotate the Speed Control Dial (1). A high number
indicates a high cutting speed
Dust Control
• This jigsaw should always be connected to a vacuum dust extraction system
where possible
• Connect your vacuum to the the Dust Extraction Port (4)
Handling your jigsaw
• Always ensure that the On/Off Switch (2) is NOT in the locked on position before
connecting to the power supply
• Always hold the jigsaw securely using the handle provided. Keep hands away
from all moving parts
• Allow the motor and Blade (7) to come to a complete stop before placing the
machine down. Always unplug the machine if it is to be left unattended
• Ensure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where appropriate
• For some tasks it may be preferable to lock the machine in the 'on' position. To
do this, squeeze the On/Off Switch (2) and depress the Lock On Button (3)
• The machine will now continue to run until the On/Off Switch (2) is squeezed
and released
Making a cut
• Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool requires safety
goggles, gloves, ear defenders, and a good quality dust mask or respirator
• Hold the jigsaw securely and rest the front edge of the Shoe (5) on the edge of
the workpiece
• 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
6
• Check that the Blade (7) is not in contact with the workpiece , or any other
object
• Start the machine by squeezing the On/Off Switch (2)
• Allow the motor to reach full speed, and gently push the jigsaw forwards across
the workpiece
• Maintain a steady movement, and ensure that the Shoe (5) is continually
pressed against the work. Ensure that the power lead is kept well away from
the front of the saw as the cut is made
• Allow the Blade (7) 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
• Do not place the machine down until the motor and Blade (7) have completely
stopped
Using the parallel guide fence
• When working parallel to an edge, the parallel Guide Fence (13) should be used
• The Guide Fence (13) locates in the front of the Shoe (5) and is secured by
tightening the Fence Locking Screws (8)
• To follow an edge, simply make a cut, whilst keeping the vertical foot of the
guide fence pressed against the edge to be followed
Operating the Laser
WARNING: Do not look directly into the beam. Never direct the beam towards other
people. The beam should only be aimed towards solid, non reflective, materials. Do
not switch the laser on until the saw is positioned against the workpiece
• To operate the laser press the Laser Switch (11). The laser will switch on. The
laser line indicates the cut that will be made if the saw is moved forward in a
straight line
• Pressing the Laser Switch (11) again will switch the laser off
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE BEAM.
Wavelength: 650nm Output power: 1mw
Maintenance
WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before carrying
out any maintenance/cleaning.
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your
machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed
air to blow through the ventilation holes
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 the machine serviced at an
authorised service centre
Disposal
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment, with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the proper way
to dispose of tools
