Operation And Maintenance - VERTO 52G064 Instrucciones De Uso

• Use the hexagonal key and loosen the blade holder (7) fixing screws
(fig. A).
• Slide blade to the blade holder (7) to mechanical stop (blade teeth
should face forward).
• Tighten the fixing screws with the hex key (fig. A).
Ensure the blade is properly fitted in the guide roller (6) (fig. A).
Blade removal is similar to installation, only the sequence of actions
is reversed.
Use blades suitable for U or T shank holder mechanism, as shown on fig. C.
DUST EXTRACTION
To improve dust extraction from processed material surface, the
jigsaw is equipped with own dust blow-off system, which cleans the
surface being cut. Additionally, it is possible to attach external dust
extraction system to the adaptor.
• Slide adaptor (3) into the dust extraction outlet (4) and turn
counter-clockwise to secure (fig. D).
• Attach suction hose of the dust extraction system to the adaptor (3).
Make sure the connection is tight.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
Before connecting the jigsaw to a power supply always check that
power supply voltage matches rated voltage on the label fixed on
the power tool.
Switching on – press the switch button (1) and hold in this position.
Switching off – release pressure on the switch (1).
Locking the switch (continuous operation)
Switching on:
• Press the switch button (1) and hold in this position.
• Press the switch lock button (2) (fig. E).
• Release pressure on the switch button (1).
Switching off:
• Press and release the switch button (1).
FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT FOR BEVEL CUTTING
Disconnect the power tool from power supply.
Adjustable jigsaw footplate allows to make a bevel cut in the range
from 0 0 to 4 0 (to either side).
• Use the hexagonal key and loosen the footplate (5) fixing screws.
• Move the footplate (5) backwards and tilt right or left (up to 4
• Set the footplate (5) at desired angle, move forward and tighten
fixing screws to secure it (fig. H).
Scale allows for setting the footplate to angles: 0°, 1 °, 0° or 4 °
(right or left). Always put the hexagonal key in its storage place after
adjustment has been made.
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 instead, 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:
