FITTING THE DUST EXTRACTION

PORT ADAPTOR

The jigsaw is supplied with a dust extraction port and a dust

extraction port adaptor. It may be necessary to fit the adaptor

before connecting to a

vacuum cleaner.

The adaptor has a bayonet

fitting. Push the adaptor into

the dust extraction port and

twist it to secure it. The dust

extraction will be most

efficient when the blade

guard is in the lower

position.

USING THE BLADE GUARD

Warning: Ensure that the blade guard is in the lower

position when operating the jigsaw. If the base plate

is positioned to make an angle cut make sure that the

base plate is in the lowest possible position. Do not

use the jigsaw without the blade guard.

SETTING THE PENDULUM ACTION

The 4 stage, pendulum action is designed to give the most efficient

cutting action in a variety of materials.

To set the pendulum action, rotate the

adjuster to the desired setting. When the

correct setting is selected, the blade

achieves maximum penetration on the

upward cutting stroke and is lifted back,

away from the material, on the downward

non-cutting stroke. This gives improved

quality of cut, and longer blade life. The

table below shows the recommended

settings.

VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR

The variable speed selector dial is used to control the speed at

which the saw operates. This is known as the blade stroke rate. To

pre-select the required blade stroke rate, turn the selector

dial to the relevant number. A low number gives a low stroke rate

and a high number gives a high stroke rate. The stroke rate should

be adjusted according to the material being cut. The table below

shows some recommended settings. It should only be used as a

guide. Make a test cut on a scrap of material to ensure that the

correct stroke rate has been selected.

USING THE JIGSAW

Warning: Make sure your cutting line is free of nails

before cutting. Do not cut hollow pipes. Do not cut

wood thicker than 80mm, steel thicker than 10mm, or

aluminium thicker than 30mm. Make sure that you

have adequate clearance for the blade beneath the

material. Make sure the blade is not touching the

material when you first operate the trigger switch.

Do not remove the jigsaw from the workpiece until

the blade has stopped moving. The blade and the

material will be hot when cutting is finished.

CUTTING METCUTTING MET

CUTTING MET

ALAL

The jigsaw will cut light gauge ferrous sheet and non-ferrous

metals such as copper, brass and aluminium. Cutting metal will

take longer than cutting any other material and you should not

force the blade into the metal as this will shorten the life of the

blade and may damage the material that you are cutting.

Where possible you should clamp the workpiece to a backing

sheet such as plywood, or other soft material. Then cut both

the metal and the backing piece together. Make sure that you

have selected the correct metal cutting jigsaw blade for the job.

It is advisable to spread a thin film of oil along the cutting line

before starting to cut.

CUTTING LCUTTING L

TESTES

TES

The blades of the jigsaw cut on the upstroke. Any splintering of

the material will therefore occur on the upper face nearest the

base plate. When sawing thin wood or plastic laminates, use a

fine tooth metal cutting blade and cut from the back surface of

the material. To further minimize the risk of chipping the edges,

clamp a piece of scrap wood, or hardboard to both sides of the

material and cut through the complete assembly.

POCKET CUTTINGPOCKET CUTTING

POCKET CUTTING

To make a cut which is not on the edge of the material, first

mark clearly the start point for the cut you wish to make. Drill a

10mm hole in the material and lower the blade through the

hole until the base is flat against the workpiece. Now cut in the

normal way.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning: Make sure that the jigsaw is switched off

and disconnected from the mains supply before

starting any cleaning, or maintenance procedures.

After use, clean all dust and wood chippings from the jigsaw.

Clean all of the ventilation slots on the motor housing. The

blade locating clip and support roller should be kept clean and

lightly oiled at regular intervals. Keep the handle clean and free

from oil and grease. Resin and glue on the blade causes poor

cutting results. Clean the blade after use. Make sure that the

base plate is free from dirt and grease. There are no user

servicable parts inside this jigsaw. Refer to qualified service

personnel if internal maintenance is required. Always store the

jigsaw in the carrying case. If replacement blades are needed,

standard plane, parallel shank, 90 mm saw length blades are

generally available from most good DIY/tool stores.
