E F 6 ROLLER GUIDE (See Fig. E) Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the groove otherwise the pendulum function will not work correctly and the blade will not be supported during cutting. 7 PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL (See Fig.
8 BASE PLATE Adjusting the angle of the base plate (10) enables bevel cutting. The base plate must always be held firmly against the materials being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping or blade breakage. 9 BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. G) Use a hex key. Loosen the bolts securing the base plate. For preset angles, adjust the press-board arrow pointing at the desired angle (0,15,30,45) on the angle plate (See Fig. G).
will help prevent accidental contact with moving blade. 12 DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE This is a small aperture located underneath the housing just behind the blade guide. Ensure this is kept clean to allow the airflow to continually blow dust away from the cutting area. 16 I 13 SPLINTERING PROTECTOR (See Fig. I) The splintering protector (16) prevents the splintering of the surface when sawing in wooden materials. Press the splintering protector from below into the base plate.
Working hints for your jigsaw If your power tool 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.
PLUNGE SAWING (See Fig. J, K) 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 J work piece, continue to saw along the cutting line.
