the battery from the charger socket. Avoid consecutive short
chargings. Do not charge the battery after short use of the tool.
Significant decrease of the period between chargings indicates
the battery is worn out up and should be replaced.
Batteries heat up when charging. Do not operate just after
charging – wait for the battery to cool down to room temperature.
It will prevent battery damage.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION
The battery is equipped with signalisation of the battery level (3
LED diodes) (17). To check battery level status, press the button
for battery level indication (13) (fig C). When all diodes are lit, the
battery level is high. When 2 diodes are on, the battery is partially
discharged. When only one diode is lit, the battery is discharged and
must be recharged.
INSTALLATION OF THE EDGE GUIDE
Edge guide can be installed on left or right side of the device footplate.
• Loosen the edge guide locking screws (8).
• Slide the edge guide bar (18) into holes in the footplate (4), use the
scale to set required distance and fix by tightening the edge guide
locking screws (8) (fig D).
Edge guide bar should be pointed downwards.
The edge guide (18) can also be used for bevel cutting at angles ranging
from 0° to 45°.
BLADE INSTALLATION
Installation and removal of the blade is tool free.
Blade installation
• Set the switch for pendulum action (5) to position "III" and lift the
guard (10).
• Slide blade to the blade holder (6) to mechanical stop (blade teeth
should face forward) (fig E).
Important! Make sure the blade is properly positioned in the guiding
roller (7).
Blade removal
• Set the switch for pendulum action (5) to position "III" and lift the
guard (10).
• Pull lever of the blade holder (6) upwards and slide the blade out (fig
E).
• Release the blade holder lever (7).
Use blades suitable for T-shank holder mechanism, as shown on fig. F.
DUST EXTRACTION
To improve dust extraction from processed material surface, the jigsaw
is equipped with own dust blow-off and extraction system, which
cleans the surface being cut. Dust blow-off and extraction system is
more efficient when the guard is lowered.
• Insert the adapter (3) fully into the footplate (4) (fig G).
• Attach suction hose of the dust extraction system to the adapter (3).
• Adapter removal is similar to installation, only the sequence of actions
is reversed.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The device is equipped with the switch lock button (1) that protects
against accidental start up. The safety switch is located on both sides
of the tool body.
Switching on
• Press one end of the switch lock button (1) and hold (fig H).
• Press the switch button (2) (fig I).
• You can release the switch lock button (1) after starting the device.
Switching off
• Release pressure on the switch button (2) to stop the tool.
Device speed within its range is controlled with pressure on the switch
button.
Each time the switch button (2) is pressed, the LED diode (11) lights up
to illuminate the workplace.
BLADE PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
Besides reciprocating movement control there is also possibility to set
blade pendulum action level. It allows for better adjustment of the tool
operation parameters to type of processed material. Pendulum action is
controlled in steps with the switch for pendulum action setting (5) and
its range is 0 to 3 (fig K). The table below presents the best choices of
pendulum action setting for various materials:
Metal sheet, in general: 0
Aluminium sheet: 1– 2
Plywood: 0 – 1
Set the switch for pendulum action to 0 when using knife blade.
Lubrication is recommended for metal cutting.
FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT FOR BEVEL CUTTING
Adjustable jigsaw footplate allows to make a bevel cut in the range from
0° to 45° (to either side).
• Remove the adapter (3) from the footplate (4) (fig G).
• Use the hexagonal key and loosen the footplate (4) fixing screws.
• Move the footplate (4) forward and tilt right or left (up to 45°).
• Set the footplate (4) at desired angle, move backward and tighten the
fixing screw to secure it (fig L).
Footplate angular scale allows for setting the footplate at angles: 0°,
15°, 30° or 45° (right or left). Always put the hexagonal key in its storage
place after adjustment has been made.
CUTTING
• Place the front part of the footplate (4) flat on the material for
processing, so the blade does not have contact with the material.
• Switch on the jigsaw and wait until it reaches its working 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 footplate does not rest on the processed material with
its whole surface but is lifted above, there is danger of kick back or
breaking the blade.
CUTTING A HOLE IN MATERIAL
• Make a hole in processed material with 10 mm diameter.
• Put blade into the hole and start cutting from that spot.
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 Blade

• Use only appropriate and sharp blades.
• Do not use blades with damaged shank.
• Use appropriate blade types.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery from the device before commencing any
activities related to installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• 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 through 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. Do not clean ventilation holes by inserting sharp
objects there, such as screwdrivers and other similar objects.
• Regular lubrication of guiding roller is recommended. A drop of oil
applied in this spot will prolong lifetime of the roller.
• 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.
• Store the device with the battery removed.
