CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION
The jigsaw is a hand-held power tool with Class II insulation. It is driven by
a single-phase commutator motor . The device is designed for simple
separating cuts, curved cuts and cuts in wood, wood-like materials,
plastics and metals (provided that an appropriate saw blade is used).
The areas of its use are the performance of renovation and construction
works as well as all works in the field of independent amateur activity
(DIY).
Do not use the power tool for purposes other than those for which it
was intended.

PREPARATION TO WORK
FASTENING THE SAW BLADE
Installation and replacement of the saw blade is carried out in the following
steps:
• Turn the blade locking knob clockwise ( fig. C ).
• Place the saw blade in the holder with the teeth facing forward.
• Turn the knob back to the starting position. Check that the saw blade
is properly seated.
• To remove the saw blade, turn the saw blade lock knob
clockwise. The grip will be released.
Note: The saw blade may jump out of the holder abruptly when
removed. Inspect the tip of the saw blade and keep it away from your
face. Do not touch the saw blade immediately after use as it may be
very hot. Use gloves.
Note: Only use saw blades with a T-clamping system ( fig. D ).
DRAINING DUST
To use the dust extraction function, please follow the steps below:
• Connect the suction hose of the dust extraction system to the socket
( fig. G ). Make sure that there is a tight connection.
• Move the dust suction switch to the rear position ( Fig. H ).
Note: Do not use dust extraction when cutting material generates
sparks.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
ON / OFF
Note: Before connecting the jigsaw to the mains, always check that
the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating
plate on the power tool.
• It is turned on by pressing the rear part of the switch. Release the
pressure to switch off.
• Locking for continuous operation is done by pressing the switch in
this position forwards. Pulling the switch back will turn the appliance
off ( fig. E ).
REGULATING THE JIGSAW WORKING SPEED
The speed of the jigsaw motor is regulated by turning and setting the
speed control knob. This allows you to adjust the speed of the power tool
to the properties of the material being processed. The higher the number
around the circumference of the knob, the faster the jigsaw will run ( fig.
F ).
Pendulum control
Using the pendulum control knob, you can adjust the pitch of the saw blade
in order to obtain the best possible cut quality for each material.
• Setting 0 - metal plates and sheets, materials susceptible to fraying
• Setting 1 - plastics
• Setting 2 - hard wood
• Setting 3 - soft wood.
When cutting metal, it is recommended to use saw blades with more teeth
and a suitable coolant. Cutting without coolant leads to premature wear of
the saw blade. The indicative selection of the saw blade is specified in the
table below:

SLOPE ADJUSTMENT
The adjustable jigsaw foot allows you to make miter cuts in the following
positions: 0 °, ± 15 °, ± 30 °, ± 45 °.
• Disconnect the device from the power supply
• Using the hex key, loosen the two screws on the bottom of the foot.
• Pull the foot away from the step foot, tilt it to the required angle.
• Place the foot in the appropriate angle slot. Lock the foot in the
desired position by tightening both screws.
CUTTING
• Place the forefoot flat on the material to be cut.
• Start the jigsaw and wait for it to reach the set maximum speed.
• Move the jigsaw by guiding the saw blade along the previously
marked cutting line.
• When cutting curved lines, guide the jigsaw very carefully.
Make the cut evenly and take care not to overload the jigsaw. Excessive
pressure on the saw blade will inhibit the movement of the saw blade,
which will affect the cutting performance.
Note: If the entire surface of the jigsaw foot is not in contact with the
workpiece surface during operation, but is raised above it, there is a
risk of the saw blade breaking.
CUTTING A HOLE IN THE MATERIAL
• Drill a hole in the material having a diameter of 10 mm.
• Insert the saw blade into the hole and start cutting from the hole
made.
ASSEMBLY OF THE GUIDE FOR PARALLEL CUTTING
• Unplug the power cord.
• Place the saw blade in the holder and clamp it.
• Loosen the screws and insert the guide into the hole. Adjust the
position of the guide to the required distance.
• Tighten the wing nuts.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Note: Before starting any installation, adjustment, repair or
maintenance activities, disconnect the power cord from the power
socket.
• It is recommended to clean the device immediately after each use.
• Do not use water or other liquids for cleaning.
• Clean the device with a dry cloth or blow it out with low pressure
compressed air.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents as these may damage
the plastic parts.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots in the motor housing to prevent
overheating of the device.
• Periodic lubrication of the guide roller is recommended. A drop of oil
applied in this place will extend its durability.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a cord of the
same parameters. Leave this operation to a qualified specialist or
have the device serviced.
• In the event of excessive sparking on the commutator, have the
condition of the motor carbon brushes checked by a qualified
person.
• Always store the device in a dry place out of the reach of children.
CHANGING THE CARBON BRUSHES
Worn (less than 5 mm), burned, or cracked motor carbon brushes must
be replaced immediately. Both carbon brushes are always replaced at the
same time. Carbon brushes should be replaced only by a qualified person,
using original parts
All kinds of faults should be removed by the manufacturer's authorized
service
