8. PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE
The supplied Parallel Edge Guide can be fitted to either side of
the machine. It can be a useful aid when cutting straight lines
that are parallel to an existing edge.
To fit the Parallel Edge Guide:
• Loosen the cross-head screw found in the Parallel Edge Guide
clamp and slide the clamp from the arm of the guide.
• Locate the clamp in the required service position on either
the right or left hand side of the machines footplate just
ahead of the blade. (Fig. 11).
• Slide the arm of the Parallel Edge Guide through the clamp
and through the two (2) rectangular slots in the footplate.
• Set the Edge Guide at the required distance and then tighten
the cross-head screw to lock the Edge Guide securely in place.
Note: The Front Chip Guard can be fitted to this machine when
the Parallel Edge Guide is fitted.
9. AIR BLOWER
This Jigsaw is equipped with an Air Blower. This can be used
to blow away dust created by the blade from the cutting area
thereby keeping the cutting line(s) clear and visible.
Note: We recommend that the Air Blower is used in conjunction
with a suitable workshop dust extraction machine connected to
the Dust Extraction Adaptor of the jigsaw.
We recommend that the Air Blower is not used when cutting
metal or when cutting materials that require a lubricant.
Mechanical vacuum dust extraction using the Adaptor tube will
always work better with the Air Blower turned ‘OFF’.
To switch the Air Blower ‘ON’:
• Push the ‘Air Blower’ control slide fully to the right (as seen
from the operators viewpoint) (Fig 12)
To switch the Air Blower ‘OFF’:
• Push the ‘Air Blower’ control slide fully to the left.
10. DUST EXTRACTION
This jigsaw is fitted with a Dust Extraction Adaptor tube.
(Fig. 13)
Whenever possible it is good practice to connect the Adaptor
tube to a workshop dust extraction machine. The Air Blower
should be in the ‘OFF’ position.
