NOTE:
For best cutting results, ensure
you use a blade suited to the material and
cutting quality you need.
2. SETTING THE CUTTING ANGLE
a) Release the clamp screws in the base
using the Hexagon- socket spanner 9.
b) Set the cutting angle 0° / 15° / 30° / 45°
(left / right) on the base plate . The
embossed marking for each recessed
line indicates the cutting angle setting.
c) Tighten the clamp screw using the
hex key.

release to stop your tool.
Depress the on/off switch then the switch
lock on button. Your tool is now locked on
for continuous use. To switch off your tool
just depress and release the on/off switch.
4. USING THE JIGSAW
Before using the saw and connecting the
mains cable, make sure the trigger switch
is in the off position.
a) Standard cutting
Set the base at 0° so that the saw blade
is at 90° with the base. Make sure that the
plug is disconnected from the mains.
Mark the cutting line on the work piece
(good side down) .Place the jig saw on the
work piece flat. Plug the power plug into
the wall outlet. Switch on the jigsaw until it
runs stably. Then the blade goes forwards
slowly along the cutting line while applying
light pressure on the saw.
Never force the jigsaw forward as this
will twist the blade and cause the cut to
be off line. Simply allow the jigsaw to do
the work and move the jigsaw forward to
maintain contact between the blade and
work piece.
a) Use the supplied hexagon-socket spanner
to undo the two screws on the ram.
b) Slide the saw blade into the guide slot and
up to the stop between the piston rod and
the retention clip.
c) Use the supplied hex key to tighten the
two screws. The teeth of the saw blade
must face in cutting direction.
Make sure that the saw blade sits firmly.
