Operating tips
Preparations
• Measure and mark out the sawing line carefully before starting to cut.
• Small workpieces should be securely clamped.
• Check that the footplate is locked at the required angle before you begin sawing.
• If you are unsure about the choice of blade speed or type of blade, test-cut a piece
of scrap of the same material as the workpiece.
Sawing
• Hold the jigsaw in a firm grip. Make sure that the saw blade is not in contact with
the workpiece and then pull the trigger to start the saw. Let the motor come up to
speed before starting to cut.
• Never apply excessive forward pressure to the tool – always let the blade do the work.
• Keep hands in sight, do not hold hands under the workpiece where the blade
cannot be seen.
