CUTTING
Put front part of the footplate (5) flat on the material that you plan to cut.
Switch on the jigsaw and wait until it reaches its full set rotational speed.
Move the jigsaw slowly and guide the blade along previously set cutting line.
When cutting curved lines move the jigsaw very carefully.
Cut at a uniform rate, pay attention to avoid overloading the jigsaw. Excessive pressure applied on the
blade will suppress pendulum action and will affect cutting efficiency unfavourably. Decrease or switch off
the pendulum action completely when cutting along gently curved line.
When the jigsaw footplate does not rest on the processed material with its whole surface but is lifted
above, there is danger of breaking the blade.
CUTTING A HOLE IN MATERIAL
Drill a hole in processed material with 10 mm diameter.
Put blade into the hole and start cutting from that spot.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER JIGSAW USE
Cut at a steady rate, pay attention to avoid overloading the power tool. Excessive pressure applied on the
blade will suppress pendulum action and will affect cutting efficiency unfavourably. Decrease or switch off
the pendulum action completely when cutting along gently curved line.
If the jigsaw footplate does not move while rested against the processed material, but is lifted inste-
ad, there is a danger of breaking the blade.
METAL CUTTING / TYPES OF BLADES
Use appropriate blades with more teeth for cutting of metal.
For metal cutting use appropriate lubricant (e.g. cutting oil). Metal cutting without lubrication leads to
rapid wear of blade. The below table gives the best choices for blade type:
Teeth per inch

Use only appropriate and sharp blades.
Do not use blades with damaged shank.
Use appropriate blade types.
Unplug the power cord from mains socket before commencing any activities related to installation,
adjustment, repair or maintenance.
Cleaning the device after each use is recommended.
Do not use water or any other liquid for cleaning.
Clean the tool with a dry cloth or blow with compressed air at low pressure.
Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents, they may damage plastic parts.
Clean ventilation holes in the motor casing regularly to prevent device overheating.
Regular lubrication of guiding roller is recommended. A drop of oil applied in this spot will prolong
lifetime of the roller.
In case of power cord damage replace it with a cord with the same specification. Entrust the repair to
a qualified specialist or return the tool to a service point.
In case of excessive commutator sparking, have the technical condition of carbon brushes of the
motor checked by a qualified person.
Always store the tool in a dry place, beyond reach of children.
REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
Immediately replace worn out (shorter than 5 mm), burnt or cracked motor carbon brushes. Always
