Unpacking Your Jigsaw
• Carefully unpack your jigsaw. Ensure all packaging materials are removed and
fully familiarise yourself with all features of the product
• If any parts are damaged or missing, have these parts repaired or replaced
before use
Operating Instructions
Before you use your jigsaw, it is recommended that you practice on scrap material.
The settings of the machine are crucial to achieving a good quality finish, and your
work could easily be damaged by using an incorrect setting.
WARNING: Always disconnect the saw from the mains power supply before
making adjustments or changing accessories.
Fitting a blade
• Always check that a suitable blade is selected for the job that is to be done
(refer to the blade manufacturers information before use)
• Only fit blades that are in perfect condition. Blunt, bent and cracked blades
should be discarded
• Invert the jigsaw, remove the guard and loosen the Blade Locking Bolts (6)
• Position the blade between the two locking bolts, so that the blade rests against
the guide roller
• Tighten the Blade Locking Bolts (6) and replace the guard
• Ensure that the blade is fully secure before use
• To remove the blade, remove the guard and loosen the blade locking bolts then
withdraw the blade from the underside of the saw
Setting bevel angle
• This jigsaw is equipped with a Tilting Shoe (4). This allows bevel cuts to be
made up to 45º to the left or right hand side
• To alter the angle of the shoe, invert the jigsaw and loosen the Bevel Locking
Screws (7). The shoe is now free to pivot
• Adjust the shoe to the required angle and then tighten the shoe locking bolts
NOTE: Ensure that the shoe is secured firmly in position prior to use
Dust Control
• This jigsaw should always be connected to a vacuum dust extraction system
where possible
Handling your jigsaw
• Always ensure that the on/off power switch is NOT in the locked on position
before connecting to the power supply
• Always hold the jigsaw securely using the handle provided. Keep hands well
away from all moving parts
• Allow the motor and blade to come to a complete stop before placing the
machine down. Always unplug the machine if it is to be left unattended
• Ensure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where appropriate
• For some tasks it may be preferable to lock the machine in the 'on' position. To
do this, squeeze the On/Off Trigger switch (1) and depress the Lock On Button
(2). The machine will now continue to run until the trigger switch is squeezed
and released

Making a cut
• Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool requires safety
goggles, gloves, ear defenders, and a good quality dust mask or respirator
• Hold the jigsaw securely and rest the front edge of the Tilting Shoe (4) on the
edge of the work piece
• If starting a cut away from the edge of the work piece, drill a pilot hole large
enough for the blade to pass through where you wish to start the cut
• Check that the blade is not in contact with the work piece, or any other object
• Start the machine by squeezing the On/Off Switch (1)
• Allow the motor to reach full speed, and smoothly push the jigsaw forwards
across the work piece
• Maintain a steady movement, and ensure that the sole plate is kept pressed
against the work. Ensure that the power lead is kept well away from the front of
the saw as the cut is made
• Allow the blade to pass through the material, then release the trigger switch.
Alternatively, if the cut does not reach the edge of the work piece, release
the trigger switch and allow the blade to stop moving before lifting out of the cut
• Do not place the machine down until the motor and blade have completely
stopped
Maintenance
WARNING: Always ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains power
supply before performing any maintenance procedure
Lubrication
• The guide roller should be occasionally lubricated with a few drops of machine oil
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause the machine's
internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use
clean, and dry compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn. Excessively
worn brushes may cause; loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn; have them replaced at an
authorised service centre
Disposal
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment, with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the proper way
to dispose of tools
