OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool.
2. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON
Depress on/off switch (1) then lock-on button
(2) (See A), release on/off switch first then lock-
on button second.Your switch is now locked
on for continuous use.To switch off your tool
just depress and release on/off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or
decrease the speed (See B) according to
the material, material thickness and blade
specification to be used (also possible during
no load operation). See Chart 1 for general
Guidance on speed selection.
Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as this
may damage your jigsaw's motor.

4. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst
operating your jigsaw.
5. DUST COVER
When operating your jigsaw the dust cover
must be closed to allow the dust extraction
system to work efficiently.The dust cover can
be lifted to improve access for cleaning, blade
fitting, etc (See C).
6. BLADE FITTING
You can only use the blade type shown in Fig
D.To open the blade holder (6) rotate the ring
anti-clockwise (Jigsaw upside down) and hold
in position (See E).Then fully insert the blade
into the blade holder slot with blade teeth
facing forward and release the ring, which will
self rotate and clamp over the top of the blade.
Push the blade into the blade holder again to
ensure it is locked in position. Ensure the edge
of the blade is located in the groove of the
Jigsaw

blade guide (See F).To remove a blade, holds
the blade and rotate the blade holder ring anti-
clockwise then lift out the blade (blade could
be spring ejected).
Warning: blade teeth are very
sharp. For best cutting results ensure
you use a blade suited to the material and cut
quality you need.
7. PARALLEL GUIDE FIXTURES
Slide the parallel guide (13) arm through
both fixtures to achieve the required cutting
distance and tighten both screws to lock into
position.
8. BLADE GUIDE
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly
in the groove (See F) otherwise the pendulum
function will not work correctly and the blade
will not be supported during cutting.
9. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
The pendulum action varies the forward
cutting angle of the blade for increased cutting
efficiency.This can also be adjusted during
no load running. Refer to the chart 2 for more
details. Do not use excessive blade force when
cutting with the pendulum action.The blade
cuts on the upward stroke only (See G).

10. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (10)
enables bevel cutting.The base plate must
always be held firmly against the materials
being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade
jumping or blade breakage.
11. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Using an Hex key (14). Loosen the bolts
securing the base plate (See H). For preset
angles rotate so the lines of the angle on the
base plate and angle plate (11) superposition
