OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the jigsaw ratings
plate.
Switching on – press the switch button (2) (fig. F).
Switching off – release pressure on the switch button (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 (2).
Switching off:
• Press and release the switch button (2).
CONTROL OF JIGSAW OPERATION SPEED
You can control rotational speed of jigsaw motor by turning and
setting the wheel for rotational speed control (1) in desired position.
It allows to adjust the jigsaw working speed to match characteristics
of processed material. Rotational speed control range is 1 to 6.
The higher value is shown with wheel for rotational speed control (1),
the higher is the speed of the jigsaw (fig. G).
BLADE PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
Besides to-and-fro movement control there is also possibility to set
blade pendulum action level. It allows for better adjustment of the
tool operation parameters to type of processed material. Pendulum
action is controlled in steps with the switch for pendulum action
setting (6) and its range is 0 to III (fig. H). The below table gives the
best choices of pendulum action setting for various materials:
Sheet metal plate, generally:
Sheet aluminium:
Plywood:
Set the switch for pendulum action to 0 when using a knife blade.
FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT FOR BEVEL CUTTING
Adjustable jigsaw footplate allows to make a bevel cut in the range
from 0 0 to 45 0 (to either side).
• Use the hexagonal key and loosen the footplate (7) fixing screws.
• Move the footplate (7) backwards and tilt right or left (up to 45
• Set the footplate (7) at desired angle, move forward and tighten
fixing screws to secure it (fig. I).
You can read footplate bevel angle on the angular scale located on the
footplate. Put the hexagonal key in its storage place after adjustment
is made.
CUTTING
• Put front part of the footplate (7) flat on the material that you plan
to cut.
• Switch on the jigsaw and wait until it reaches its full set rotational
speed.
0 Steel sheet: 0 – I
I – II Plastics: I – II
0 – I Wood: I - III
• Move the jigsaw slowly and guide the blade along previously set
cutting line.
• When cutting curved lines move the jigsaw very carefully.
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 cutting along gently curved line.
When the footplate does not rest on the processed material with
its whole surface but is lifted above, there is danger of breaking
the blade.
CUTTING A HOLE IN MATERIAL
• Make a hole in processed material with 10 mm diameter.
• Put blade into the hole and start cutting from that spot.
METAL CUTTING / TYPES OF BLADES
Use appropriate blades with more teeth for cutting of metal.
Use appropriate coolant when cutting metal. Cutting metal without
any coolant leads to faster wear of blade. The below table gives the
rough choices for blade type:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before
commencing any activities related to installation, adjustment,
repair or maintenance.
• Always keep the jigsaw clean.
• Do not use water or any other liquid for cleaning.
• Use a brush or a dry piece of cloth to clean the jigsaw.
• Regular lubrication of guiding roller is recommended. A drop of oil
applied in this spot will prolong lifetime of the roller.
• Clean ventilation holes regularly to prevent overheating of the
jigsaw motor.
• In case of excessive commutator sparking have the technical
condition of carbon brushes of the motor checked by a qualified
0
).
person.
• Store the jigsaw in a dry place, beyond reach of children.
REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
Replace immediately worn out (shorter than 5 mm), burnt or
cracked motor carbon brushes. Always replace both carbon
brushes at a time.
Entrust replacement of carbon brushes only to a qualified person.
Only original parts should be used.
All faults should be repaired by service workshop authorized by the
manufacturer.
