Attention! If, when the charger is connected to the power supply, the green LED is on, this indicates a fully charged battery. In this
case, the charger does not start charging.
Adjustment of the dust extraction
The fan, which is mounted in the engine, produces air stream, which can be used for suction or blowing out the dust produced
during operation. The switch on the enclosure side allows to set the direction of the air fl ow (III). The air blowing out from the tool
front allows to blow out the dust from under the blade, which facilitates cutting. Air blowing out from the tool rear allows to suck the
dust by an external dust extraction installation, that should be connected to the connecting port on the back of the tool. In the case
of using an external dust extraction installation, refer to the information that came with this installation.
Attention! If you use an external dust extraction installation, you should not set the switch in position, that will result in the air
blowing out at the front of the tool.
Mounting and replacing the saw blade
You should check whether the blade is not damaged, cracked, whether the cutting teeth are not broken, etc. In the case of dam-
age, replace the saw blade for a new one.
Saw blades diff er depending on their assignation. Saw blades for wood and wood-based materials have widely spaced teeth and
saw blades for metal and plastic have fi ner teeth. You should select a saw blade suitable for the planned work. Mount the saw
blade with its teeth facing forward.
The blade should be put in the spindle gap, so it will rest by its back on the notch in the roll.
Attention! Mounting the saw blade should be carried out in the protective gloves. This will reduce the risk of injury.
Turn the clamping sleeve of the spindle and hold it, and to the spindle gap insert the blade holder (IV). Allow the sleeve to go back
to its starting position and make sure that the blade has been properly fi xed: i.e. the clamp sleeve is in its original position, and the
saw blade can not be removed from the spindle.
The saw blade removal should be carried out in reverse order.
Setting the saw blade oscillation (V)
Electric jig saw is equipped with an adjustable gradual oscillation adjustment. Adjusting is possible by using the lever. The lower
the number of setting, the the smaller the oscillations of the saw blade. With the setting labeled by "0" the saw blade oscillations
are disabled.
Saw blade oscillations allow for easy cutting, and their grade should be selected by an experiment, for example, by cutting the
waste material. However, you should follow the instructions, which are presented below:
- in order to obtain the most smooth edge of the cut you should set the lowest possible grade of oscillations or even turn them off ,
- when cutting thin materials (e.g., sheet of metal), you should switch of the oscillations,
- when cutting hard materials (e.g. steel), set the low rate of oscillation,
- when cutting soft materials, you should set the maximum degree of oscillation.
Setting the cutting angle (VI)
The jig saw allows for adjustment of the angle of traverse cutting in the range from 0 to 45 degrees, tilting is possible in to the left
and right as well. If it is necessary, before adjusting, you should remove the dust extraction connection. You should loosen the
screws that secure the basis of the jigsaw, but do not unscrew them completely, Then move the basis back or forward and tilt it by
setting the desired cutting angle. The base can have hooks or a scale to facilitate setting the most common cutting angles. After
adjustment you should tighten the base screws and make sure that the base itself does not changed the set angle.
OPERATING OF THE TOOL
Before every operation, you should ensure that the saw blade is installed correctly, and the saw blade guard is in its place, Wear
eye protection, hearing protectors and working gloves. Mount the workpiece to the workstation, for example by using carpentry
clamps, vice, etc. Never hold the cut material only by hands or other parts of the body. In the case of cutting you must support the
material at its ends and near the cut line. Supports must be placed on both sides of the cut line so during cutting, the blade would
not jammed in the cut kerf. During cutting the foot must be supported by its whole surface on the cut material. To the outlet of the
dust extraction connection your should connect the dust extraction installation.
Switching on and off the jig saw
You should make sure that at the work place the surface is even, stable and free of pollution.
Adopt a stable stand.
Grab the tool by the handle. You should not rest any parts of the working tools on any subject or object.
Push and hold the blocking of the switch, and then press it by your fi nger and hold it. After you press the switch it is not necessary
to hold the lock. Check whether the saw blade is moving freely, and the tool does not suspiciously or excessively vibrate, it is not
