6. HEARING PROTECTION

WARNING! In case the sound pressure level exceeds the value of 85.0 dB(A), wear

adequate hearing protection to avoid damage to your hearing!

7. OPERATION

Laser beam adjustment

Transport, handling and heavy use can affect the precision of the laser beam. The laser beam

itself can be easily adjusted.

Loosen the lower Philips screws on the front or at the side of the machine by a few turns.

Hold the jig saw, fitted with a saw blade, against a straightedge or perfectly straight plank.

Check whether the laser beam runs dead straight along the edge of the straightedge or plank.

If this is not case, then adjust the laser beam by slightly turning the laser holder.

Once the correct adjustment has been made, retighten the Philips screws.

Note: When sawing a bevel, the cut will no longer be aligned with the notch in the sole

plate.

Note: Whatever the bevel angle, the saw cut will always follow the laser beam.

Working with a jig saw

WARNING! The saw is exclusively dedicated to home or hobby use. The manufacturer and

importer do not recommend using this tool in extreme conditions and excessive loads. Any

kind of further requests must be the subject of agreement between the manufacturer and

customer.

The tool is an electronic speed controlled, pendulum action jig saw. The adjustable speed and

3-stage pendulum action gives an enhanced cutting performance and optimum curve-cutting

action, saving the blade from wear. Before using the jig saw, read the instructions thoroughly

and acquaint yourselves with its features.

Make sure that the working area is clear of all obstacles particularly on the reverse side of the

cut. If you use the saw with one hand always ensure your free hand is away from the cutting

area.

Note: It is recommended that the mains plug is removed from any socket or extension lead

prior to ANY adjustment or service being undertaken to avoid accidental start up of the

product.

Operation

Saw blade replacement

WARNING! Turn off the jig saw and unplug the power supply cable from the socket.

Select a saw blade as applicable for the material to be cut.

Lift the plastic transparent cover, turn the keyless chuck to the right, insert the blade

all the way (teeth facing you) and release the keyless chuck.

Insert the blade into the blade holder, ensuring that the teeth are pointing forward and the flat

back edge of the blade locates in the guide roller.

Close the protective plastic transparent cover.

Check the blade is correctly positioned in the guide roller and that is sure is secure in the

blade holder.

Dust exhaust

Insert the extraction nozzle into the dust extraction opening at the rear of the saw and twist

anticlockwise to secure. (Clockwise to remove.) Attach a standard vacuum cleaner hose and let

the vacuum collect the dust as you saw. Always use a face mask, even when using the vacuum

extraction system.

Pendulum action control

The pendulum stroke action can be adjusted using the pendulum knob located on the left

hand side of the jig saw, near the blade.

There are four marked settings: 0, 1, 2 and 3

Indications of the best pendulum stroke setting for a particular job are given below:

Sheet metal 0

Steel 0

Plywood 2-3

Aluminium 0

Plastics 1-2

Wood 2-3

Angle sawing

The jig saw can be used to cut at various angles by adjusting the base plate.

Before adjusting the base plate, ensure that the jig saw is unplugged from the mains.

To adjust the base plate, loosen the hexagon bolt on the underside of the jig saw using the

hexagon key.

Slide the base plate forwards, incline it at the desired angle (range: 15°, 30°, 45°)

Tighten the hexagon bolt using the hexagon key.

Operate the same way as for straight cutting, ensuring that the base plate is firmly held flat

against the work piece.

Operation

Straight cutting

Ensure the work piece is firmly secured in a vice or workbench.

Mark a line on the work piece through which the cut is required.

Start up the jig saw and place the front of the base plate onto the work piece.

Align the blade with the cutting mark on the work piece.

Slowly move the jig saw forward along the cutting mark. Press the jig saw down firmly onto

the work piece to prevent the blade from snagging or breaking.

Allow the tool to work at its own pace, letting the blade cut freely - do not force the tool.

Increasing pressure will not result in a faster cut.

Choose an appropriate blade according to the required job and finish, depending on the

type and thickness of the material. Large teeth will give a quick, coarse cut and small teeth

will produce a quality finish.

When cutting thin board, place it on a wood board to help absorb vibrations

ON/OFF switch

The on/off switch (1) is located in the saw handle.

Depress the trigger switch to turn on the jig saw.

The on/off switch can be locked with the locking button on the side of the saw handle.

To unlock the switch, depress the switch button again. Always ensure that the switch is in the

off position before connecting the tool to the mains. Always disconnect the tool from the

mains when not in use.

Speed control

The speed of the machine can be adjusted by operating the speed control wheel on the front

of handle.

To increase the speed, turn the wheel forward, and to decrease the speed, turn the wheel

backwards.

Cleaning and Storing Instructions

WARNING! Prior to maintenance and cleaning, ensure the power is disconnected from

the saw. Unplug the power cable from the power supply network. Use only mild soap and a

slightly damp cloth to clean your saw. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which

could seriously damage the plastic. Do not use petrol, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinners

or similar products to clean the machine. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never

immerse any part of your saw into liquid.

Never use water or other liquids to clean the electrical parts of the tool.

Always clean the tool after use.

Ensure the ventilation slots do not become blocked to prevent overheating.
