PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

BLADE INSTALLATION
Disconnect the power tool from power supply.
Installation and removal of the blade is tool free.
• Set the wheel for pendulum action setting (5) to position "III"and
lift the guard (7) (fig. A).
• Pull the lever of the blade holder (6) and slide blade into the
blade holder (6) to mechanical stop (blade teeth should be facing
forward) (fig. B).
• Important! Make sure the blade is properly positioned in the
guiding roller (14).
• Release the lever of the blade holder (6) and ensure the blade is
properly seated.
• Blade removal is similar to installation, only the sequence of
actions is reversed.
Use blades suitable for T-shank holder mechanism, as shown on
fig. C.
DUST EXTRACTION
The jigsaw features a system for blowing sawdust off the cutting
line. It is controlled with the airflow control lever (15) (fig. D).
Additionally, it is possible to attach external dust extraction system
to the outlet (16) .
When using an external dust extraction system, set the airflow
control lever (15) to the off position "O". Switch off the dust blow off
system to improve efficiency of the external dust extraction.
BLADE STORAGE
In the rear section the jigsaw has convenient retractable clip (12) for
storage of blades and hex key (fig. E).
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / OFF
Before connecting the jigsaw to a power supply always check that
the power supply voltage matches the voltage specified on the
rating plate fixed on the power tool.
Switching on – press the switch button (2) and hold in this position.
Switching off – release pressure on the switch (2).
Locking the switch (continuous operation)
Switching on:
• Press the switch button (2) and hold in this position.
• Press the switch lock button (3) (fig. F).
• Release pressure on the switch button (2).
Switching off:
• Press and release the switch button (2).
Each time the workplace requires illumination, press the light switch
(11) to turn on the LED (10) that illuminates the workplace (fig. G).
VOLTAGE INDICATOR
When the device is connected to a power supply socket, the voltage
indicator lamp (13) turns on.
CONTROL OF JIGSAW OPERATION SPEED
You can control rotational speed of the jigsaw motor by turning and
setting the work speed control wheel (1) in desired position. It allows
to adjust the power tool working speed to match characteristics of
processed material. Speed control range is 0 to 5.
The bigger the number on the wheel rim (1) (fig. H), the greater the
jigsaw operation speed.
BLADE PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
Available pendulum action control allows for better adjustment of
the jigsaw operation parameters to requirements of the processed
material. Pendulum action is controlled in steps with the wheel for
pendulum action setting (5) and its range is 0 to III (fig. I). The table
below presents the best choices of pendulum action setting for
various materials:
Metal sheet, in general: 0
Aluminium sheet:
Plywood:
Set the switch for pendulum action to 0 when using knife blade.
Lubrication is recommended for metal cutting.
FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT FOR BEVEL CUTTING
Disconnect the power tool from power supply.
Adjustable jigsaw footplate allows to make a bevel cut in the
range from 0° to 45° (to either side). Slide out and remove the dust
extraction outlet (16) before making the adjustment (fig. J).
• Use the hexagonal key and loosen the footplate (4) fixing screws.
• Move the footplate (4) backwards and tilt right or left (up to 45°).
• Set the footplate (4) at desired angle, move forward and tighten
fixing screws to secure it (fig. K).
Scale allows for setting the footplate to angles: 0°, 15°, 30° or 45°
(right or left). always put the hexagonal key in its storage place after
adjustment has been made.
INSTALLATION OF THE EDGE GUIDE
Disconnect the power tool from power supply.
You can install the edge guide on the left or the right side of the
jigsaw footplate.
• Loosen the edge guide locking screws (8).
• Slide the edge guide bar into holes in the footplate (4), use the
scale to set required distance and fix by tightening the edge guide
locking screws (8) (fig. L).
Edge guide bar should be pointed downwards.
CUTTING
• Put front part of the footplate (4) flat on the material that you plan
to cut.
• Switch on the jigsaw and wait until it reaches its full set rotational
speed.
• Move the jigsaw slowly and guide the blade along previously set
cutting line.
• When cutting curved lines move the jigsaw very carefully.
Make a cut at a uniform rate, be careful not to overload the jigsaw.
Excessive pressure applied on the blade will suppress pendulum
action and will affect cutting efficiency unfavourably. Decrease
or switch off the pendulum action completely when necessary in
cutting along gently curved line.
When the jigsaw footplate does not rest on the processed material
with its whole surface, but is lifted above instead, there is danger
of breaking the blade.
