Cutting Metal - SPARKY Sparkeye FSPE 85 Instrucciones De Uso

6. Support for the blade. Re-tighten the hex screw. The
pendulum lever (12) can now be moved to the required
position for straight standard or pendulum cutting.
penDUlUm ADjUstment
1. The pendulum lever (12) has 5 positions. The first
position "S" is used to engage the scrolling action.
(Fig.8)
2. The second position "0" selects normal cutting
without pendulum action.
3. The next three positions "1, 2 & 3" cause the blade to
swing slightly backwards and forwards as it cuts. This
pendulum actions increases the efficiency of cutting.
4. Set the pendulum lever (12) to one of the three set-
tings "1, 2 or 3" according to degree of pendulum ac-
tion required. Experiment on a piece of scrap material
to determine the optimum pendulum action setting for
the material of the work piece.
mAking A cUt
1. Switch on the jigsaw and allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
2. Slowly guide the jigsaw forward using both hands,
keeping the shoe plate flat against the work piece.
3. Do not force the jigsaw.
note. Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cut-
ting. Do not force the cutting, allow the blade and the saw
to do the work.
pocket & roUnD cUtting
1. When starting a cut from the centre of a work piece,
drill a 12 mm diameter hole to ensure that there is
clearance for the blade.
2. When cutting tight curves, reduce the speed of the
saw.
WArning: Do not move the saw forward
along its cut until the blade has completely entered the
material and the shoe comes to rest on its surface.

cUtting metAl

1. When cutting metals, a suitable cooling/cutting oil
must be used.
2. Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or work piece at
regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear
of the blade.
fitting tHe pArAllel gUiDe
The parallel guide (11) fits into the shoe plate (6) and is
locked in place with the locking knob. It is used to guide
the jigsaw along a straight line which can be an edge of
the work piece or a piece of straight timber clamped to
the work piece. By changing the position of the guide and
using the same straight edge as a guide, it is possible to
quickly and easily make parallel cuts in the work piece.
1. Push the parallel guide (11) into the slot in the shoe-
plate. (6)
2. Adjust the guide to the required position and lock it in
place with the locking knob at location (17).
Original instructions
blADe gUArD
The blade guard (8) should always be in place when the
jigsaw is in use.
1. The blade guide (9) is spring loaded. Depending on
the position of the pendulum lever (12), the guide re-
mains stationary (non-pendulum) or oscillates back-
wards and forwards, causing the blade to cut with a
pendulum action.
cHAnging A blADe
WArning: Always ensure that the saw is
switched off and plug is removed from the power point
before making any adjustments.
removing the blade
1. Place your finger on the lower edge of the clear front
blade guard (8) and pull forward. The front guard hing-
es forward and upwards to allow access to the blade.
(Fig.9)
2. Push the tool free blade change control (15) upwards
towards the top of the unit ensuring that your fingers
do not contact the teeth of the jigsaw blade.
3. Whilst the tool-free blade change control (15) is in its
uppermost position the blade to be replaced is free
and can be easily removed by pulling downwards to-
wards the base of the unit.
Refitting a new blade
1. Ensure the blade change control (15) is in its upper-
most position, slide the new blade into the locat-ing
groove in the blade clamp with the teeth pointing for-
ward, ensuring that the blade rear edge is located and
supported by the blade guide (9). (Fig.10, 11)
2. Release the blade change control and the blade will
secure firmly in place.
3. Reposition the clear front blade guard.
4. Replace the plug and run the jigsaw under no load to
check that it runs smoothly and the blade is secure
before using it to cut any materials.
DUst extrAction ADAptor
The dust extraction adaptor (16) allows a dust extraction
system or a household vacuum cleaner to be connected
to the tool in order to remove dust whilst the tool is in use.
WArning: Do not use a dust extraction sys-
tem or a vacuum cleaner when cutting metal. Sparks
may ignite residual wood dust.
Using tHe spArkeye
WArning: Do not stare directly at the laser
beam.
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other
than the work piece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and en-
