of the above procedures, hold the base plate in position
and firmly tighten the bolts to clamp the base plate at
the desired angle. Finally, check the angle and ensure the
base plate is firmly clamped.The angle markings on the
base plate are accurate for most general purpose cutting
but it is recommended for accurate work to set the angle
with a protractor and make a test cut on a piece of scrap
material.
12. DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTER
The adapter (12) rotates counter-clockwise inside the
housing and locks into position through the use of a
groove inside the housing (See Fig 10).The adapter must
then be connected to a suitable external dust extraction
machine.
13. BLADE PROTECTION BAR
The blade protection bar is located in front of the blade
holder. While working, it will help prevent accidental
contact with the moving blade.
14. DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE
This is a small hole located underneath the housing
just behind the blade guide. Ensure this is kept clean to
allow the air flow to continually blow dust away from
the cutting area.
15. SPLINTERING PROTECTOR
The splintering protector (15) prevents the splintering of
the surface when sawing in wooden materials. Press the
splintering protector from below into the base plate (See
Fig 11).
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
JIGSAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to
maximum and run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material
thickness to be cut. Always ensure the work–piece is
firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. For easier
control, use low speed to start cutting, then increase to
correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of
the cut.The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip
the uppermost surface. Ensure your uppermost surface
is a non-visible surface when your work is finished.
