when working with your power tool.
Special Product Features
Recessed blade-support roller with guide groove
to ensure accurate cutting. 5-position adjustable
orbital saw-blade movement to ensure high cut-
ting performance. Hard-wearing die-cast alu-
minum casing with good heat dissipation proper-
ties to protect against overheating
Initial Use
Before initial use, check that the voltage stated
on the rating plate matches the figures for your
electrical supply.
Do not run the tool without a saw blade fitted.
Remove the plug from the electrical outlet before
changing a saw blade.
Inserting the jig-saw blade
STE 135 Plus, STEB 135 Plus:
Push the safety guard (6) upwards or remove
the guard cover (8), as appropriate. Separate the
guard cover (8) at the ribbing and remove the
guard cover (8) from the front. Turn the clamping
lever on the rapid-change clamping device (7) all
the way around. Push the saw blade (10) fully
home into the rapid-change clamping device (7).
The saw blade must be properly seated in the
grooved blade-support roller. Release the clamp-
ing lever.
STE 135, STEB 135:
Push the guard cover (8) upwards. Slacken off
the hexagonal socket-head screw. Push the saw
blade (10) fully home into the saw-blade clamp-
ing device (7). The saw blade must be properly

STEB 135 Plus:
Press the switch trigger (3).For continuous oper-
ation press the switch trigger (3) in fully and hold
down. Press the locking button (2) in and hold
down.Release the switch trigger (3) and then the
locking button (2), in that order.To release, press
the switch trigger (3) in fully and release.
Fitting the anti-splintering foot-plate
Insert the anti-splintering foot-plate insert (9) fully
into the foot-plate (11).
Speed Setting
The variable speed setting (1) adjusts the speed
infinitely from 1000 to 3000 strokes/minute.
Generally soft woods, plywoods, and particle-
board are run on 6. Plastics, PVC, Plexiglas set
dial to 3-5, soft metals (i.e. copper, aluminum)
3-5, ferrous metals on 3-4.
Orbital setting
The orbital setting adjusts the rake of the blade.
O disables any forward rake, with 1-4 increasing
the forward rake of the blade. A greater rake will
increase the cut speed but cause a rougher cut.
Generally, soft woods, plywood use setting 0-5.
Particle board, plastics 0-3, soft metals (copper,
aluminum) 0-1, ferrous metals 0.
Sawdust extraction
For optimum vacuum extraction results, use in
conjunction with the guard cover (8). For saw-
dust extraction, connect up a suitable vacuum
cleaner to the chip-extraction nozzle (12).
Fitting the chip-extraction nozzle
Push the chip-extraction nozzle (12) fully home.
Removing the chip-extraction nozzle
Pull the chip-extraction nozzle (12) out of its
seating.
Sawing without sawdust extraction
Remove the guard cover (8). Flip down the safe-
ty guard (6).
Sawing in a restricted space
Remove the guard cover (8) and the anti-splin-
tering foot-plate insert (9). Loosen the socket-
head screw in the center of the foot-plate (11)
and slide the foot-plate backward until seated.
Retighten the hexagonal socket-head screw.
Bevel cuts
Remove the guard cover (8), the anti-splintering
foot-plate insert (9) and the chip-extraction noz-
zle (12). Loosen the socket-head screw in the
foot-plate (11). Slide the foot-plate (11) forward,
twist round and push backwards into the appro-
priate notches. Retighten the socket-screw (16).
The angle set can be read off from the number
on the foot-plate base. Preset bevel angles of
15
o
, 30
o
and 45
o
are achieved by engaging the
relevant notches. For very exact bevel cuts, first
carry out a test cut and check with a protractor.
