5. BEFORE PUTTING THE EQUIPMENT INTO OPERATION
To install the blade
WARNING: Always ensure that the jig saw is switched off and plug is removed
from the power point before making any adjustment.
It is recommended to wear protective gloves when inserting or replacing blade.
1. Pull the tool-less blade clamp backwards and hold it.
2. Place the saw blade as far as it will go, ensuring that the blade rear edge is located and supported by the blade roller guide.
3. Release the tool-less blade clamp.
4. Run the jig saw under no load to check that it runs smoothly and the blade is secure before using it to cut any materials.
CAUTION: The blade roller guide supports the blade when cutting and must at all
times rest against the back edge of the blade. It should rotate freely.
To remove the blade
Pull the tool-less blade change backwards and remove the blade
Angle adjustment
The jig saw shoe can be angled to enable bevel or chamfer cuts.
WARNING: Always ensure the tool is switched off and the plug is removed before
making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1. Turn the product upside down.
2. Unlock the base by moving the base adjustment lever forward.
3. Move the base plate backwards so that the teeth on the plate no longer engage with the retaining teeth and the shoe can be tilted to the left or
right. Choose ±45°, ±30°, ±15°or 0°.
4. Push the shoe plate forwards so that the teeth on the plate mesh with the retaining teeth.
5. Tighten the base adjustment lever by moving it back.
For accurate work it is necessary to do a practice cut first. Check the cut and reset the angle until the correct cut is achieved. The blade guide supports
the blade when cutting and must always rest against the back of the blade.
Parallel guide
The parallel guide fits into the shoe plate and is locked in place by the parallel guide locking screws.
It is used to guide the jigsaw along a straight line, which can be an edge of a workpiece or a piece of straight timber clamped to the workpiece.
Use the hex key to loosen the two screws and insert the parallel guide, and then tighten the two screws.
Blower
Switch in right position= blower off (operation with dust extraction)
Switch in left position=blower on (operation without dust extraction)
