5. Tools and accessories
Selecting a Saw Blade
Only original Kress saw blades as listed in the op-
erating manual or in accordance with the following
sketch with a max. thickness of 1.5 mm may be
used. This is the only way to guarantee that the
saw blade is securely fastened and reduce as far
as possible the risk of accidents caused by the jig-
saw blades becoming loose.
The saw blade should not be longer than required
for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
Parallel fence (accessory)
For perfect results with parallel cuts use the grad-
uated parallel fence 5.
The parallel fence 5 is inserted from the side
through the clamping plate into the slot in the
base plate according to the scale and is fixed
with the wing bell.
Circular cutter (accessory)
For circular cuts a graduated circular cutter is
available (assembly as for parallel fence). The
threaded pin of the knobtype handle permits re-
adjustment if a greater downward pressure is re-
quired according to material, or if the tip of the
threaded pin has been re-ground. Make sure that
the counter nut is always well-tightened.
Optional Accessory
Do not use accessories made by other manufac-
turers, as these are not tested by KRESS.
It can be dangerous to use such accessories.
To avoid injury and damage, use only accessories
recommended by KRESS.
6. Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before carrying out any work on the
machine, pull the mains plug.
Always keep the machine and ventilation
slots clean.
Wipe off the accessible plastic parts regularly
with a cloth without cleaning agent.
Always keep the tool holder clean.
The movable supporting roller for the saw
blade should be given a drop of oil from time
to time.
-NOTE-
In extreme working conditions, conductive dust
can accumulate in the interior of the machine
when working with metal. The protective insula-
tion of the machine can be degraded. The use of
a stationary extraction system is recommended in
such cases as well as frequently blowing out the
ventilation slots and installing a residual current
device (RCD).
Replacing brushes
Worn carbon brushes should be replaced by an
authorised customer service organisation.
Service
After heavy use over a long period,
the machine should be taken to a
Kress service location for inspection
and thorough cleaning.
The relevant service centres are listed in the en-
closed appendix "SERVICE" or on the website
www.kress-elektrik.de.
