Multi-PurPose saw
fully insert the blade into the blade holder slot with

oPeratioN
warNiNG: always wear eye protection while
operating this or any other power tool.
warNiNG: Burn hazard. do not touch the
blade immediately after use. Contact with the
blade may result in personal injury.
before you begin work, ensure the material to be cut is
rigid. Small workpieces should be securely clamped to
a work table.
1. switcHiNG oN aND oFF (see FiG. i)
for starting operation of the machine, actuate the
lock-off button (2) first, then press and hold the On/
Off switch (1) afterwards. To switch off the machine,
release the On/Off switch (1).
For safety reasons the on/off switch of the
machine cannot be locked; it must remain
pressed during the entire operation.
2. HaND GriP areas
always ensure you maintain a firm grip while operating
your jigsaw.
3. ProtectioN FiNGer
The protection finger (6) is located in front of the blade
holder (7). While working, it will help prevent accidental
contact with the moving blade.

warNiNG:
• Never hold the pivot head when operating the tool.
before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly
anchored or clamped to prevent slipping. holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Place blade lightly against work to be cut, depress the
trigger switch and allow it to obtain maximum speed
before applying pressure.
• Whenever possible, the saw foot plate must be held
firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent
the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade
breakage.
any cut which puts pressure on the blade, such as angle
or scroll cuts, increases potential for vibration, kickback
and blade breakage.
warNiNG: Shock hazard. use extra caution when
cutting overhead and pay particular attention to
overhead wires which may be hidden from view.
warNiNG: use extra caution when cutting
overhead and anticipate the path of falling
branches and debris ahead of time.
warNiNG: inspect work site for hidden gas
pipes, water pipes, or electrical wires before
making blind or plunge cuts. failure to do so may result
in explosion, property damage, electric shock, and/or
serious personal injury.
worKiNG HiNts For your
Multi-PurPose saw
if your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to
maximum and run no-load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor. avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
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.
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.
