About sawing
Never use a blade unsuitable for the task and
item to be cut.
Hold the saw in front of you with a � rm grip
on the handle (1).
Ensure that the saw blade is not touching
anything and that the power cable is not in
the way when starting the saw.
Make sure that the workpiece is clamped
tight, and that the saw line is clearly marked.
Start the jig saw. Place the soleplate on the
item, and let the saw blade touch the saw
line.
Saw, but do not place more pressure on
the blade than is necessary. Avoid lateral
pressure on the blade.
To create a notch, drill a hole of an
appropriate diameter and use this as the
starting point for sawing.
Sawing wood
Check that the item does not contain nails or
other metal objects.
Sawing metal
We recommend lubricating the material and
saw blade with cutting oil to protect the tool
and avoid overheating. Support the item
with wooden blocks on either side.
Sawing plastic
Never cut using maximum speed. Make a test
cut � rst to check if the material can tolerate
the heat generated by sawing.
Sawing masonry
Harmful dust can be caused by cutting
certain materials. Always wear a mask.
Cleaning and maintenance
Brush the dust away from the jig saw's
ventilation holes using a soft brush.
Wipe the jig saw's plastic parts with a well-
wrung cloth and mild detergent.
