saw blade.
•
Press the blade holder (8) and insert the saw
blade (12) into the blade holder (8) as far as
the stop (Fig. 2). The teeth on the saw blade
must be pointing forwards.
•
Allow the blade holder (8) to slide back to
starting position.
•
The saw blade (12) must sit in the guide roller
(10).Check that the saw blade (12) is secure-
ly mounted in the blade holder.
•
Follow the instructions above in reverse order
to remove the saw blade.
Warning! Hold the saw blade securely while
releasing it because otherwise it may jump
out of the blade holder.
5.3 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts
(Figs. 3-4)
•
Use the hexagon key (4) to loosen the screws
for the soleplate (11) on the bottom of the ad-
justable soleplate (7) (Figure 3).
•
Pull the sole plate (7) backwards slightly. The
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum
45° to the left and right.
•
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the
front 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) (Figure 4). Move the soleplate into
the required position and refasten the screw
securing the soleplate (11).
•
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, move the soleplate
(7) to the rear, set the desired angle and re-
fasten the screw securing the soleplate (11).
5.4 Adapter for dust extraction system
(Figure 5/Item 6)
•
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner
using the adaptor for dust extraction (6). This
will provide excellent dust extraction on the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will pro-
tect 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
instructions".
•
Attach the adaptor (6) as shown in Figure 5,
so that it is securely seated in the housing.
•
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner
onto the adaptor opening (6). Check that the
connections are airtight.

6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3)

To switch off :
Release the ON/OFF switch
6.2 Locking button (Fig. 6/Item 2)
You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the lo-
cking button (2) when the equipment is in operati-
on. To switch off the equipment briefl y hold down

6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 6/Item 1)
You can pre-select the required speed with the
speed selector. Turn the speed selector in PLUS
director to increase the speed and turn the speed
selector in MINUS direction to reduce the speed.
The suitable stroke speed is dependent on the
relevant material and working conditions.
General rules for cutting speeds for metal cutting
work must be complied with here as well.
You can generally use a higher speed with fi ne
saw blades whilst coarser saw blades require
lower speeds.
Position 1-2 = low stroke speed (for steel)
Position 3-4 = medium stroke speed (for steel,
soft metal, plastic)
Position 5-6 = high stroke speed (for softwood,
hardwood, soft metal, plastic)
6.4 Making cuts
Important!
For exact, straight and long cuts, we recommend
using a saw blade with a thickness of at least
1.5 mm.
•
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (3) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
•
Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have
fitted a saw blade.
•
Use only saw blades that are in perfect con-
dition. Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw
blades immediately.
•
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you
wish to saw. Switch on the jigsaw.
•
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it
