SAFETY AND OPERATING MANUAL Original instructions Jigsaw WU462 WU462L
General power tool safety warnings entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. 6 Keep your hands away from cutting area.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate) If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Avoid using tools in temperatures of 100C or less Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

F J1 c 9 8 7 ROLLER GUIDE Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the groove (See Fig. F) otherwise the pendulum function will not work correctly and the blade will not be supported during cutting. b 8 PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL G The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of the blade for increased cutting efficiency. This can also be adjusted during no load running.
retainer (8) superposition at the desired angle (b) (0°,15°,30°,45°). For other mitre angles, rotate to your desired angle (use a protractor scale). Following one of the above procedures, hold the base plate in position and firmly tighten14 the bolts to clamp the base plate at that angle. Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped.
E2 F J1 J2 14 DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE This is a small aperture located underneath c the housing 8 just behind 9 the blade guide. Ensure this is kept clean to allow the airflow to continually blow dust away from the cutting area. b 15 SPLINTERING PROTECTOR The splintering protector (17) prevents the splintering of the surface when sawing in wooden materials. Press the splintering protector from below into the base plate (See Fig. K).

Environmental protection 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.
Plug replacement (UK & Ireland only) If you need to replace the fitted plug then follow the instructions below. IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code: BLUE =NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
