Double insulation
To ensure maximum safety of the user, our tools are designed and built
to satisfy applicable European standards (EN standards). Tools with
double insulation are marked by the international symbol of a double
square. These tools must not be grounded and a two-wire cable is suf-
ficient to supply them with power. Tools are shielded in accordance with
EN 55014.

Scope of Use
The jig saws are designed and intended for shaped and direct cutting
of wood, plastics, steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminium and ceramics.
They are suitable for straight and arc cuts under the angle of ±45°. Use
the saw blades recommended by the manufacturer for the operations
above.
The user is responsible for improper use.
Saw Blade Clamping and Removal
Attention! Risk of el. shock. Prior to start any operation,
pull the plug out of the socket!
To clamp the saw blade (3), tilt the clamping lever (1) fully by one hand
and insert the saw blade (3) by the second hand as far as the stop of the
saw blade clamp (2). Then release the clamping lever (1) and move it to
the initial position. (The clamping lever is equipped by a spring ensuring
its tilting towards the jig saw body).
To remove the saw blade (3), tilt the clamping lever (1) fully by one hand
and remove the saw blade (3) by the second hand (3) out of the saw
blade clamp (2). If a new saw blade is not inserted, release the clamping
lever and move it back to the initial position.
Saw blade guide setting (4)
For better guidance of the saw blade (3) the jig saw is equipped by the
additional hard metal guide (4) mounted immediately above the work-
piece.
Using the Allen key (internal part of the scope of delivery), screw or un-
screw the additional guide set screw (5) until the guide jaws (4) nearly
rest against the saw blade (3).
The saw blade clearance must guarantee its easy movement!
Splinter Guard
The splinted guard (6) allows cuts with splinter-free edges even on
the side of the cut material which the saw blade base runner (7) leans
against (except special saw blades with inverse saw teeth).
Attention! Risk of injury in case of unwanted start of the
tool. Prior to start any operation, pull the plug out of the
socket!
Insert the splinter guard (6) into the base runner pad (8) and push it
as far as the saw blade. Attention, the locking nose (9) in the side
groove of the splinter guard (6) must be up with respect to the
position of the jig saw base runner (7).
Set the pendulum stroke (see the chapter "Pendulum Stroke Set-
ting") to position 1 or 2.
Start the jig saw (see the chapter "Putting into Operation").
