English
‰ Place the jig saw by its protruding splinter guard (6) against a firm
support (e.g. the desk edge, etc.) and push the jig saw moderately
to the cut so that the splinter guard (6) may be cut partially in order
to align the front splinter guard edge with the front jig saw base
runner edge.
‰ Stop the jig saw.
The splinter guard (6) must lie close to the saw blade on both sides
to ensure reliable function of the splinter guard! Thus, a new splinter
guard (6) should be fitted every time the saw blade is changed to ensure
splinter-free cuts.
Chip / Sawdust Guard
The chip guard (10) prevents chips from flying off into the cut zone and
improves efficiency of the chip extractor operation.
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 chip guard (10) between the jig saw base runner (7) and
the saw blade clamping lever (1).
‰ Push the chip guard moderately until it leans against the jig saw
base runner and body ( the chip guard "catches" in place).
‰ Remove the chip guard (10) by separating both guard ends from
the jig saw base runner (7) (by your fingers) and by simultaneous
pushing the guard out of the jig saw.
Sawdust Extraction
Attention! Dust can he hazardous to human health and
therefore newer work without the dust extractor, mainly in
closed rooms.
When extracting hazardous dust, always observe the valid na-
tional regulations.
When extracting dust (chips, sawdust) by the industrial vacuum
cleaner, observe the operating manual of the used vacuum clean-
er!
When extracting the dust, do use the splinter guard (6) to avoid extrac-
tion channel (11) clogging.
‰ Insert the extraction adapter (12) into the extraction hole (13) on
the rear jig saw base runner side (7) so that the extraction adapter
lock (14) may be engaged into the locking groove (15) inside the
jig saw base runner.
‰ Place the vacuum cleaner (extractor) suction hose (hose diameter
27 mm) on the extraction adapter extension (12).
‰ Disconnect the extraction adapter (12) from the jig saw by press-
ing the extraction adapter lock (14) in the locking groove (15) and
by simultaneous taking the adapter out of the extraction hole (13).
Cut Parameter Setting
Attention! Risk of injury in case of unwanted start of the
tool. Prior to start any operation, pull the plug out of the
socket!
Setting for oblique cuts
The jig saw base runner (7) can be swivelled to both sides by 45° in the
longitudinal axis.
‰ Remove the chip guard (10) and the splinter guard (6) from the
jig saw, when mounted.
‰ Loosen the set screw (16) with internal hexagon on the bottom jig
saw base runner side (7), using the Allen key (17).
‰ Move the jig saw base runner (7) forwards (by ca 5 mm) a and set
the requested angle in accordance with the scale (18) on the jig saw
base runner.
‰ Tighten the set screw (16).
Longitudinal base runner movement
The jig saw base runner (7) can be moved by ca 5 mm in the longitudinal
axis.
The basic jig saw base runner (7) position: the runner is moved back-
wards fully, i.e. the centering pin (25) is pushed into the centering
hole (26).
‰ Loosen the set screw (16) with internal hexagon on the bottom jig
saw base runner side (7), using the Allen key (17).
‰ Move the jig saw base runner (7) to the requested position.

‰ Then tighten the set screw (16).
Attention! If the splinter guard (6) was mounted on the jig saw
base runner in the front position, the sprinter guard will have to
be cut in additionally!
Pendulum stroke setting
The pendulum stroke is generated by horizontal movement of the guide
bell (20), synchronously with rod (21) movement up and down. When
moving downwards, the saw blade is put further away from the mate-
rial. This way the chip can be taken out of the cut, heat generation by
friction reduced and saw blade service life extended.
The pendulum stroke parameters can be set by the pendulum stroke
switch (19) in four steps 0–3, if the switch is in position 0 the pendu-
lum stroke is off and in the position 3 the pendulum stroke reaches its
maximum.
Instructions for setting:
Set the zero pendulum stroke when machining thin materials like sheet
metal or hard materials, e.g. ceramic.
Setting of low or zero pendulum stroke guarantees better cut edges of
soft materials.
Higher pendulum stroke can be applied mainly for soft materials, e.g.
wood and plastics.
When cutting curves or arcs in soft materials, set the zero or low pendu-
lum stroke (depending on the curvature size) to reduce the saw blade
stress in cut.
Suitable pendulum stroke setting can be verified by a test cut. Rough
data for pendulum stroke setting are contained in the table Values of
setting of the number of strokes and the pendulum stroke.
Setting of the number of strokes
Using the stroke controller (22), you can pre-select the necessary num-
ber of strokes on the run.
1–2
Low number of strokes
3–4 Medium number of strokes
5–6 High number of strokes
The necessary number of strokes depends on the kind of material and
can be established by a practical test. Rough data for setting of the
number of strokes are contained in the table Values of setting of the
number of strokes and the pendulum stroke.
After a longer work with low number of strokes let the jig saw run at the
max. number of strokes (degree 6) for at least 1 to 3 minutes to let the
jig saw motor cool.

Putting into Operation and Operation
Check whether the data on the rating plate match with the real power
supply voltage. The tool intended for 230 V~ may be also connected to
220/240 V~. Check whether the plug type corresponds to the socket
type.
Start and stop
Press the switch button (23) to start the jig saw. Release the switch but-
ton to stop the tool.
Continuous run
Press the switch button (23) as far as the stop and at the same time de-
press the lock button (24). The switch button will thus be locked in the
ON position, i.e. the jig saw will run continuously. Release the switch
button.
By re-pressing the switch button (23), the lock button (24) will be un-
locked and after release of the switch button the jig saw will be stopped.
