PRODUCT USE
Before using the jigsaw, read the instructions carefully and familiarise yourself with its features.
The following recommendations are a guide to improve the safety and maintenance of the machine. Not all
recommendations are applicable to all tasks; care and common sense must be exercised when using the machine.
•
Ensure that the working area is clear of any obstacles, especially on the side opposite the cut.
•
When using the saw with one hand, always ensure that your free hand is away from the cutting area.
•
The on/off switch is located on the handle of the saw. Press the trigger switch to switch on the jigsaw.
•
The on/off switch can be locked using the lock button on the side of the saw handle. To unlock the switch, press
the switch button again.
•
Always ensure that the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack into the tool. Always remove
the battery pack when not in use.
CAUTION: Check the condition of the blade before use. If the blade is damaged, cracked, bent,
missing teeth, etc., replace it.
RIGHT CUT
The following recommendations are a guide for the use of the equipment in its straight cutting functionality, taking
into account the safety and maintenance of the machine. Not all recommendations are applicable to all tasks; be
aware and take safety precautions according to the task at hand and the characteristics of the material.
1.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely clamped in a vice or on a workbench.
2.
Mark a line on the workpiece through which cutting is required.
3.
Start the jigsaw and position the front of the base plate on the workpiece. Align the saw blade with the cut mark
on the workpiece.
4.
Slowly advance the jigsaw along the cut mark. Press the hacksaw firmly against the workpiece to prevent the
blade from catching or breaking.
5.
Let the tool work at its own pace, allowing the blade to cut freely. Do not force the tool: increasing the pressure
will not result in a faster cut.
6.
Choose the right blade for the job and the required finish, depending on the type and thickness of the material.
Large teeth give a fast, thick cut and small teeth give a better finish.
7.
When cutting a thin board, place it on a wooden board to help absorb vibrations.
