Pendulum setting
Fig. 1 + 6
For an optimum sawing result you must set the way in which the teeth of the saw blade
grip the material. You do this by adjusting the pendulum (8).
•
Soft material (wood, plastics etc.): set the pendulum to level II or III. For a sharp
saw cut, use pendulum level 0 or I.
•
Medium-hard material (hardwood, aluminium etc.): set the pendulum depending on
the application. For thin material use pendulum level 0, or I if you are working with
rasps or knives.
•
Hard material (steel etc.): set the pendulum to level 0.
•
Curves: set pendulum to level 0.
You can adjust the pendulum level while the appliance is in operation.
Dust-collection
Fig. 7
To keep the work surface clean, the jigsaw is equipped with a connection for dust
extraction. You can connect your vacuum cleaner to this. Use the vacuum cleaner
adapter supplied for this.
guard
The jigsaw is fitted with a guard. Make sure that this guard is closed as much as possible
while the jigsaw is in use. This gives the best protection against splinters and ensures
optimum dust extraction.

Laser beamer
Laser beamer in use
The leading beam of the laser beamer makes sawing in straight lines much easier:
a) along a drawn line, or
b) by aligning it to a fixed point marked on the workpiece.
The range of the laser beam, depending on the environmental light, is about 65 cm.
Adjusting the laser beam
Fig. 10
•
Transport handling and heavy use can affect the precision of the laser beam.
•
The laser beam itself can be easily adjusted.
•
Hold the blade of the jigsaw against a straightedge or perfectly straight plank.
•
Switch the laser on.
•
Check whether the laser beam runs parallel along the edge of the straightedge or
plank.
•
If the laser beam is out of alignment, proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the 3 screws on the front side of the laser a few turns.
•
Hold the blade of the jigsaw against a straightedge or perfectly straight plank.
•
Correct the laser such that it runs dead straight along the edge.
