Before Starting The Equipment - EINHELL TE-JS 18/80 Li Manual De Instrucciones Original

5. Before starting the equipment

Warning!
Always remove the battery pack before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Safety guard (Fig. 2/Item 15)
•
The safety guard (15) protects the user from
accidentally touching the saw blade (12) but
still gives you an unobstructed view of the
cutting area.
•
The safety guard (15) must always be fitted
and in position before starting any sawing
work.
•
The safety guard (15) can be pulled up as
shown in Fig. 2.
5.2 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 3/Item 12)
Warning!
Remove the battery pack before you fi t or re-
place a saw blade.
•
You can fit or replace saw blades without
using any other tools.
•
Set the selector switch for pendulum action
(8) to position A (see Fig. 14).
•
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
•
Remove the safety guard (15).
•
Press the blade holder (14) and insert the
saw blade (12) into the blade holder (14) as
far as the stop (Fig. 3). The teeth on the saw
blade must be pointing forwards.
•
Allow the saw blade holder (14) to slide back
into position. The saw blade (12) must sit in
the guide roller (10).
•
Check that the saw blade (12) is securely
mounted in the blade holder.
•
To remove the saw blade, follow the instruc-
tions above in reverse order.
5.3 Installing the parallel stop (Fig. 4/Item 11)
•
The parallel stop (11) enables you to saw
parallel cuts.
•
Undo the two locking screws for the parallel
stop (13) on the soleplate (7).
•
Now slide the parallel stop (11) into the
guides on the soleplate (7). You can fit the
parallel stop (11) on either the left or right of
the equipment.
•
The guide strip must always face downwards.
Set the required distance using the measu-
rement scale on the parallel stop (11) and
tighten the locking screws for the parallel stop
(13) again.

Important!
The read-off point for the measurement scale is at
point (a) or (b), as shown in Fig. 4, depending on
which side the parallel stop is inserted from.
The mark in the center of the soleplate is only pro-
vided for cutting along a line and not for reading
the measurement scale.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 5)
•
Undo the locking lever for the soleplate (16)
on the soleplate.
•
Pull the soleplate (7) slightly forward. The so-
leplate can now be swiveled a maximum 47°
to the left and right.
•
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the
rear again it will only function in the locking
positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which are
marked on the graduated scale for the sole-
plate (9). Move the soleplate into the required
position and tighten the locking lever securing
the soleplate (16).
•
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, slide the soleplate (7)
forwards, set the desired angle and retighten
the locking lever securing the soleplate (16).
Note! For miter cuts you must remove the locking
screws for the parallel stop (13) and the splinter
guard (17).
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system
(Fig. 6/Item 5)
•
Connect your cordless jigsaw to a vacuum
cleaner using the adapter for chip extraction
(5). This will ensure optimum chip extraction
from the workpiece. The benefits are that you
will protect both the equipment and your own
health. Your work area will also be cleaner
and safer.
•
Dust created when working may be dange-
rous. Refer to the section entitled "Safety
information".
•
Fit the adapter for chip extraction (5) as
shown in Fig. 6. The adapter for chip extrac-
tion (5) must audibly engage to ensure that it
is secure in the soleplate (7). The adapter for
chip extraction (5) cannot be used for miter
cuts.
•
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner
onto the opening of the adapter for chip ex-
traction (5). Check that the connections are
air-tight.
