Fig. I1).
To release the base plate with the cutting angle adjustment
from the locking mechanism, push the base plate back or
towards the vacuum cleaner connection.
3. Use the cutting angle adjustment to set the desired angle (See
Fig. I2). Refer to the scale embossed on both sides.
4. Push the base plate forward or towards the touch guard to lock
it again.
5. Secure the setting by tightening the two fixing screws
clockwise with the hex key.
6. Put the hex key back in its holder on the back of the saw.
11. PROTECTION FINGER WIRE
The finger wire is located in front of the blade holder. Whilst
working, it will help prevent accidental contact with moving blade.
12. DUST BLOWER
The dust blower blows sawdust and dust out of the cutting area.
NOTE: If you would like to use the dust blower, disconnect your
vacuum cleaner from the saw if applicable.
−− To use the dust blower, move the dust blower switch (6) to the
back of the saw or towards the vacuum adapter (5). Shavings and
dust will be blown out of the cutting area.
−− To switch off the dust blower, move the dust blower switch (6)
to the front of the saw or towards the pendulum action control (9).
13. WORK LIGHT (SEE FIG. J)
The lightness of work LED light is related to the speed of motor.
CAUTION: Do not look into the strong light or see the source
of light directly.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR JIG SAW
If your jig saw becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed,
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. For easier control, use low speed to start cutting,
then increase to correct speed.
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 or face of the work piece. Ensure your uppermost surface is
a non-visible surface when your work is finished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood
materials. To reduce edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood
at both ends on both sides and cut through the
cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles.
PLUNGE SAWING
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood,
aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch
on. Press the machine firmly against the workpiece and plunge the
saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work
piece, continue to saw along the cutting line. (See Fig. K, L )

METAL CUTTING
Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse tooth blade
for non-ferrous metals. When cutting thin sheet metals always
clamp wood on both sides of the sheet to reduce vibration or tearing
of the sheet metal. Both wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do
not force the cutting blade when cutting thin metal or sheet steel
as they are harder materials and will take longer to cut. Excessive
blade force may reduce the life of the blade or damage the motor.
To reduce heat during metal cutting, add a little lubricant along the
cutting line.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep
the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of
dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots.
This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
