Operation Manual

 Caution: saw blades can get very hot.

 Saw blades must be kept sharp and in good condition. Replace partially fractured and

broken saw blades immediately.

 Work calmly and evenly with the jig saw. You will thus avoid accidents and the saw blades

and the jig saw will last longer.

7.2 Changing the saw blade (Figure 2)

Switch off the jigsaw and remove the plug from the power socket before changing the blade or

carrying out any other work on the jigsaw.

Use the supplied hexagon-socket spanner to undo the two screws on the ram (Figure 2). Slide

the saw blade into the guide slot and up to the stop between the piston rod and the retention

clip. Use the supplied hexagon-socket spanner to tighten the two screws. The teeth of the saw

blade must face in cutting direction. Make sure that the saw blade sits property in the guide

slot of the ram and roller.

Important: Make sure that the saw blade sits properly in the slot of the roller and ram.

See fig 2 (Releasing the saw blade: Turn screw anticlockwise.)

7.3 Electronic speed control setting (Figure 3)

Using the knurled screw on the On/Off switch you can pre-set any speed.

Turn the knurled screw in PLUS direction for a higher speed and turn it in MINUS direction for

a lower speed.

The ideal cutting rate depends on the specific material and working conditions.

The general rules for tool speed in cutting operations apply.

See Fig 3

(1) turn the speed controller to increase the cutting rate.

7.4 Adjusting the base

(for mitering and sawing near edges, Figure 4)

For mitre and bevel cuts you can swivel the base by up to 45° in either direction after undoing

the two screws on the bottom The angles 15°, 30° and 45° are marked but you can adjust the

saw to any angle between these markings as required.

To adjust the cutting angle, undo the two screws (Figure 4) until you can just about move the

blade. Adjust to the required angle and re-tighten the two screws.

To enable you to saw right up to the edge, the base can be pushed backward. To do so, undo

the two screws underneath (Figure 4) and push the base to the back. Re-tighten the two

screws.

See FIG 4

Undo the two screws to set the base to an angle of 0° to 45° on the right or left side.
