Mounting the rip fence
The rip fence can be fastened on both sides of
the device.
1. Remove the battery (19) from the device
(see Removing the battery).
2. Loosen the locking screws for rip fence (15)
at the slot.
Make sure not to unscrew the locking screws
completely.
3. Slide the rip fence (8) into the slot with the
marking pointing up.
4. Move the rip fence (8) into the desired
position.
5. Tighten the locking screws for rip fence
(15).
6. Refit the battery (19; see Insert the
battery).
Adjusting the pendulum action (Fig.19)
You can adjust the pendulum movement of the
saw blade. Levels 1 to 3 allows for a faster work
progress and level 0 (pendulum movement off)
enables fine and clean cutting edges.
The ideal pendulum level for the respective
application can be determined by way of
field- testing. Please observe the following
instructions:
•
If you want to obtain a fine and clean
cutting edge, preferably select a low
pendulum level or switch off the pendulum
action completely.
•
Switch off the pendulum action when
processing thin materials.
•
Work at a low pendulum level when
processing hard materials.
•
For soft materials or when sawing wood
with the grain you can work with the
maximum pendulum level.
1. Set the pendulum action selector switch
(5) to the desired level. The higher the
level, the larger the pendulum stroke. The
pendulum action can also be adjusted
during operation.

Tips and notes on handling the jigsaw
General information:
•
Keep the venting slots clear to prevent the
motor from overheating.
•
Check the tool in the tool holder for proper
fit before every application. The tool must
be firmly locked in place in the designated
holding fixtures in the tool holder.
•
Before every application, make sure that
you have selected the correct tool for the
intended use.
Sawing:
•
Only use intact, flawless saw blades. Bent,
blunt or otherwise damaged saw blades
could break.
•
When sawing lightweight construction
materials, make sure to observe the legal
regulations and recommendations of the
material manufacturers.
•
Before sawing wood, chipboards, building
materials etc. with HCS blades, check the
above for foreign objects, e.g. nails, screws
or similar. If required, remove the foreign
objects or use HSS saw blades.
•
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight
curves.
•
The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Switching the device on and off (Fig.20)
Wear your personal protective equipment when
working with the device.
1. Check whether the fixed saw blade, the
pendulum action and the cutting angle are
suitable for the intended application.
2. Check whether the workpiece is secured
and the worktop prepared correspondingly.
3. Position the base plate with removable
sliding block (6) on the workpiece.
4. Press the start lock (1) to be able to
actuate the on/off switch.
5. Press the on/off switch (2) and hold it
during operation.
- The device operates with the previously
selected settings.
- The LED work lamp (26) is illuminated.
6. Let go of the on/off switch (2) to stop the
device.
- The LED work lamp (26) goes out.
