Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.
- clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.

6. Initial Operation
Before plugging in, check that the rated mains
voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the
type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
Never operate the machine without a saw
blade.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making
any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
6.1
Fitting the anti-splintering footplate
insert
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
Remove the saw blade before fitting the anti-
splintering footplate insert (7).
10
Turn the machine over so that the footplate faces
upwards. Insert the anti-splintering footplate from
the front, while noting the following 2 items:
• The smooth side of the footplate points upward.
• The slot is facing to the rear (towards the mains
cable).
If you wish to work with the protective plate attached
(see chapter Accessories 10.), insert the anti-
splintering footplate insert in the protective plate.
6.2
Inserting the saw blade
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still
be hot. Wear protective gloves.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material
being sawn.
- Turn the clamping lever (1) forwards to the stop
and hold in place.
- Insert the saw blade (4) up to the stop. Ensure that
the saw teeth are facing forwards and the blade is
seated correctly in the groove on the saw blade
support roller (3).
- Release the clamping lever (1). (It returns to its
initial position by itself. The saw blade is now
securely tightened).
6.3
Removing the saw blade
Caution: Be careful not to point the jigsaw at
anyone when removing it.
- Turn the clamping lever (1) forward until the stop;
the saw blade is ejected as a result of spring force.
6.4
Sawing with dust extraction
- Fit the extractor connection piece (15). Connect a
suitable extraction device.
- For optimum dust extraction performance, push
the protective cap (9) downward.
- Switch off the chip blower
(see chapter 7.1).
6.5
Sawing without dust extraction
- Work with the protective cap (9) pushed up.
6.6
Diagonal cuts
Push the protective cap (9) upwards, remove the
anti-splintering footplate (7). These parts cannot be
used for diagonal cuts.
- Slacken the screw (5).
- Slid the footplate (6) forwards slightly and turn.
- Subsequently push the footplate insert (6)
towards the back into one of the notches (45°
angle, 0° angle). The preset angle is indicated on
the curved support plate (19) on the footplate.
Adjust to different angles using an angle gage.
- Tighten the screw (5) again.
6.7
Sawing close to the wall
Push the protective cap (9) upwards, remove the
anti-splintering footplate insert (7), circular-cutting
and parallel guide. These parts cannot be used
when sawing close to the wall.
- Slacken the screw (5) until the footplate (6) can be
raised slightly.
