6.4 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).
6.5 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.
6.6 Sawing with dust extraction
- Fit the extractor connection piece (19). Connect a
suitable extraction device.
- For optimum dust extraction performance, push
the protective cap (8) downward.
6.7 Sawing without dust extraction
- Work with the protective cap (8) pushed up.
6.8 Diagonal cuts
Push the protective cap (8) upwards, remove the
anti-splintering footplate (6). These parts cannot be
used for diagonal cuts.
- Slacken the screw (23).
- Slid the footplate (5) forwards slightly and turn.
- Subsequently, push the footplate (5) back again to
the back and turn until it stops at one of the 45°
stops.
Adjust to different angles using an angle gage.
- Tighten the screw (23) again.
7. Use
7.1 Adjusting the pendulum motion
Set the required pendulum motion using the
adjustment lever (9).
Position "0" = pendulum motion is switched off
. . .
Position "III" = maximum pendulum motion
See page 3 for recommend setting values.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.2 Setting maximum speed
Set the machine to maximum speed using the
setting wheel (10). This can also be done during
operation.
See page 3 for recommend setting values.

making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Clean the machine regularly. This includes
vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the
motor.
Clean the saw blade clamping fixture (2) regularly
and thoroughly by blowing with compressed air.
If required, clean the openings behind the saw
blade support roller (3) and the extraction nozzles
(16).
Apply a drop of oil to the saw blade support roller (3)
from time to time.
9. Accessories
