Variable speed trigger (BES603 unit only) (Fig. C)
The BES603 only is fitted with a variable speed trigger.
To set the speed, turn the dial on the switch to the desired
speed.
Depress the trigger to reach speed.
Vacuum port
During normal use without the vacuum connected, internal
motor fan will continuously blow the sawdust away from the
cutting mark. To connect the vacuum adaptor, push into the
rear port of the jigsaw and turn until bayonet fit is secure.
Operation
Warning! Never use the tool when the saw sole plate is loose
or removed.
General cutting
Warning! Keep hands and fingers away from the space
between the motor housing and the blade clamp. Do not reach
underneath workpiece while the saw is running.
Rest the front of the sole plate on the workpiece and align the
cutting edge of the blade with the cutting line on your
workpiece (Fig. D). Make sure the power cord is out of your
way and not in the path the blade will follow. Start your saw
and move it toward the workpiece. Apply enough downward
pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward
pressure to keep the blade cutting freely.
Warning! Do not force the saw. Forcing the saw may overheat
the motor and break saw blades.
Bevel cutting
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from zero to 45° either
left or right. To adjust the bevel angle:
Loosen both sole plate pivot screws (12) until the sole
u
plate (7) can be rotated (Fig. E).
Note: Use the 3 mm hex key supplied.
Bevel angles are marked on a scale located on the side of
u
the sole plate.
Slide the sole plate back. Align the edge of the motor
u
housing with the desired angle mark on the side of the
base, then slide the sole plate forward to engage the
notches into the motor housing pin as shown in figure F.
Note: Angle marks on the sides of the jigsaw base are for
reference only.
Operator should use a protractor to verify angles.
Once the desired bevel angle is obtained, lock the sole
u
plate by tightening the sole plate pivot screws.
Make a test cut in a scrap piece of material and measure
u
the bevel angle. Adjust bevel angle if necessary.
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface.
(Original instructions)
The most common saw blades cut on the upward stroke,
therefore if the shoe plate is sitting on the presentation surface
either use a saw blade that cuts on the downward stroke or:
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
u
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
u
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
u
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Warning! Do not use a vacuum when cutting metal. Metal
filings will be hot and may cause fire.
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
u
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
u
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
u
Plunge cutting
Warning! To avoid loss of control, broken blades or damage
to the workpiece, always use extreme caution when making
plunge cuts. It is not recommended to plunge cut any material
other than wood. Wherever possible, drill a 8 mm or bigger
pilot hole in the area to be cut out and start cutting with the
blade in the pilot hole. This will avoid the need to plunge cut.
Note: Use only blades with 7 teeth per inch for plunge cutting.
To plunge cut an inside hole, clearly mark the cutting line
u
on the workpiece.
Set the bevel angle at 0° then lock the sole plate.
u
Tilt the saw forward so it rests on the front edge of the sole
u
plate and in a position so the blade will NOT touch the
workpiece when the switch is turned ON (Fig. G).
Note: Make sure the saw blade is inside the area to be cut.
Start the saw and slowly lower the blade onto the
u
workpiece while making sure the front of the sole plate
remains in contact with the workpiece. Allow the blade to
cut through the wood.
Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the
u
sole plate rests flat on the workpiece. Continue sawing
toward the cutting line and complete the cut as required.
Metal cutting
Many types of metal can be cut with your jigsaw. When cutting
any kind of material, be careful not to twist or bend the blades.
Do not force the blade. If the blade chatters or vibrates exces-
sively, use a finer tooth blade. If the blade heats excessively,
reduce speed of cutting. If the blade teeth become clogged
when cutting soft metals such as aluminum, use a coarser
blade with fewer teeth per inch. Clamp all work firmly and
saw as close as possible to the clamping point to eliminate
any vibration of the work being cut.
