ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Warning! When using electric tools, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read
all these instructions before attempting to operate
this product and save these instructions.
Always check that the voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
The machine is double insulated in accordance
with EN50144; therefore no earth wire is required.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they
have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert
the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of the machine. The minimum conductor
size is 1.5 mm
2
. When using a cable reel always unwind
the reel completely.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATIONS
The jigsaw can be used to cut workpieces of various
materials (wood, aluminium, plastic, metal etc.) precisely
to size and in any desired shape. The maximum thickness
of the workpiece is 70 mm (for wood).
SELECTING THE SAW
Fig.2
The jigsaw is supplied with four saws, each with different
teeth. The profile and the teeth vary according to the
material that you want to saw. A fine tooth will give you a
smooth and precise saw cut. Use a narrow profile if you
want to saw curves or if you are going to saw figures. To
select the right saw, proceed as follows:
•
First of all try a saw with coarse teeth.
•
If you don't get a smooth and precise saw cut, try a
saw with a finer tooth.
•
For plastic, aluminium and steel always use a saw with
a very fine tooth.
In general you will work faster but less precisely with a
coarse tooth than with a fine tooth.
For an optimum result always make sure the saw is
sharp. The jigsaw is suitable for all commercially available
saw blades.
ASSEMBLING SAW
Fig.3
Before assembling the saw check that the mains
plug has been removed from the socket.

To assemble the saw, proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the two socket head screws (A) with the
Allen key supplied.
•
Place the saw (C) in the saw buckle (B). Make sure
that the teeth point upwards and forward. The
smooth side of the saw must rest against the wheel.
•
Push the saw as far into the buckle as possible.
•
Secure the saw by tightening the two socket head
screws (A) again. Make sure that the socket head
screws are tightened evenly so that the saw blade sits
correctly in the saw buckle. A crooked blade can
result in an unsatisfactory cut.
•
Push the guard down.
ADJUSTING THE BOTTOM PLATE
Fig.4
Adjust the angle of the bottom plate (A) as follows:
•
Loosen the socket head screws (B) with the Allen
key supplied.
•
Pull the bottom plate back slightly to unlock it.
•
Turn the bottom plate to the right or left in the
desired sawing angle. You can read this on the
protractor (C). The maximum sawing angle is 45º.
•
Push the bottom plate forward again to interlock it.
•
Tighten the socket head screws (B) again.
OPERATION
Fig.5
Press the switch in to put the jigsaw into operation.
The switch can be interlocked with the interlocking
knob. This is done as follows:
•
Press the switch in.
•
Keep the switch pressed in and press the interlocking
knob in. The jigsaw will now continue to run.
•
Release both switches.
Release the interlocking by pressing the switch in again.
SPEED CONTROL
The speed of the saw can be controlled with the rotary
knob at the top of the jigsaw. The higher the position, the
higher the speed. The highest position is 6. The ideal
sawing speed will depend on the profile and the tooth of
the saw and on the material you want to saw. For soft
materials, select a reasonably high speed and a coarse
tooth. If you want to saw hard materials, select a lower
speed and a fine tooth.
PENDULUM SETTING
For an optimum sawing result you must set the way in
which the teeth of the saw blade grip the material. You
do this by adjusting the pendulum.
•
Soft material (wood, plastics etc.): set the pendulum
to level II or III. For a sharp saw cut, use pendulum
level 0 or I.
•
Medium-hard material (hardwood, aluminium etc.):
set the pendulum depending on the application. For
thin material use pendulum level 0, or I if you are
working with rasps or knives.
•
Hard material (steel etc.): set the pendulum to level
0.
•
Curves: set pendulum to level 0.
