Inserting the saw blade
To open the blade holder rotate the blade holder ring anti-clockwise
(Jigsaw upside down) and hold in position. 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 blade guide.
Removing the saw blade
To remove a blade, hold 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.
5. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL (SEE FIG. F)
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 1 for more details. Do not use
excessive blade force when cutting with the pendulum action. The
blade cuts on the upward stroke only.

Thin materials. Fine cuts. Tight curves.

Hard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)
II
Thick materials ( e.g. wood ) & plastic
Fast cuts (e.g. softwood).
III
Cutting in the direction of the wood grain.
6. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT(SEE FIG.
G1-G2)
Use an Allen key. Loosen the bolts securing the base plate and
pull the base plate out of the slots. For preset angles rotate so the
lines of the angle on the base plate and angle plate superposition
at the desired angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°). For other mitre angles,
rotate to your desired angle (use a protractor scale). Following one
of the above procedures, hold the base plate in position and firmly
tighten the bolts to clamp the base plate at that angle. Finally, check
the angle and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped. The angle
markings on the base plate are accurate for most general purposes
but it is recommended for accurate work to set the angle with a
protractor and make a test cut on other material.
7. VACUUM ADAPTOR (SEE FIG. H1-H2)
Mount the dust vacuum adaptor into the opening of the base plate.
Make sure that the plastic tip of the vacuum connection engages
into the corresponding opening on the housing as shown in the
figure.
Remove the dust vacuum adaptor as shown in the figure.

WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR JIGSAW
If your jig saw becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed,
set the speed to maximum and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to cool
the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness
to be cut. Always ensure the work–piece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement. For easier control, use low speed to start
cutting, then increase to correct speed.
1. CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood
materials. To reduce edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood
at both ends on both sides and cut through the waste wood during
cutting.
2. CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles.
3. PLUNGE SAWING (SEE FIG. I1, I2)
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood,
aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch
on. Press the tool firmly against the workpiece and plunge the saw
blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work
piece, continue to saw along the cutting line.
4. METAL CUTTING
Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse tooth blade
for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metals, always clamp wood on both sides
of the sheet to reduce vibration or tearing of the sheet metal. Both
wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not force the cutting blade
when cutting thin metal or sheet steel, as they are harder materials
and will take longer to cut. Excessive blade force may reduce the
life of the blade or damage the motor. To reduce heat during metal
cutting, add a little lubricant along the cutting line.
MAINTAINACE
Remove the battery pack from the tool before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep
the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of
dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots.
This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
For Battery tools
The ambient temperature range for the use and storage of tool and
battery is 0°C-45°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging
system during charging is 0°C-40°C.
