Felisatti JSF100/650VE, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 4 / 47

• A protective face mask must be employed in any
work producing harmful dust. Material containing as-
bestos must not be worked.
•
When working with the machine, always wear safety
goggles and ear protection. Other personal protection
equipment such as dust masks, gloves, helmet and
apron should be worn when necessary, along with
non-slip safety footwear. If in doubt, use safety
equipment.
• Never place hands or fingers in front of the saw when
working.
•
Make sure the vents are free when working with dust.
If they require cleaning, first unplug the machine, do
not use metal objects and avoid damaging internal
parts.
•
When the work is finished, the equipment should
be switched off and the saw blade must be al-
lowed to come to a complete stop before removing
it from the cutting slot and depositing it (danger of
kick-back).
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This tool has been designed to saw aluminium, metals,
wood, gasified concrete, cardboard-plaster plaques and
similar.
BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
Before using the tool, make sure the mains voltage is
correct: it must be the same as that on the specification
label. Machines with 230V can also be connected to a
220-V mains supply.
Before plugging the tool in, always check that On/Off
switch
A is functioning normally and returns to Off
when released.
INSTALLING THE SAW (Fig.2)
WARNING! Always make sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the
machine.
This jig saw is fitted with a “Quick fix” saw blade retain-
er. Saw blade installation is described below:
- Fully rotate retaining lever F and maintain it in this
position.
- Fully insert the saw blade, with the rear section
supported in wheel guide H .
- Release retaining lever F and press the saw
blade until retaining lever F returns to its original
position. Verify that the saw blade is correctly
fixed in place.
Important: It is essential to respect this instruction.
It is advisable to lubricate periodically the contact area
between the saw blade and support wheel (with a drop
of oil) and the support axle of the wheel itself. Use only
adhesive labels.
Pendulum mechanism adjustment
The pendulum mechanism provides blade swivel
motion with improved cutting and higher work speed
per material.
To adjust with of swivel, use control
E (Fig.3). At 0
there is no swivel.
Pendular movement is increased from position 1 to
position 3.
Change of setting can be carried out with the machine
in motion.
Read the optimum operating conditions on machine
label
O according to the specific material being worked.
STARTING THE TOOL
WARNING! Plug the machine in with the switch off.
Pressing On/Off switch A will turn the machine on and
releasing it will turn it off again.
For continuous operation, press On/Off switch
A and
lock it in the operating position using button retainer B .
If the On/Off switch A is depressed and released once
again, the machine will stop.
Electronic speed regulation
The installed module D permits smooth start-up and
maintains the rated speed practically constant up to the
rated power. Regulator
D is located in the upper sec-
tion of the handle (Fig.6).
Adjustment control
D is used to set the required speed.
A number 1 corresponds to the minimum speed and
number 6 is the maximum obtainable by means of the
electronic circuit. Once number 6 is exceeded the
circuit switches off and the machine works at the max-
imum speed without regulation.
Electronic regulation can be carried out with the ma-
chine running.
The optimum number of strokes, depends on the
material and particularly on the working conditions
which can be achieved with practice.
If working with a reduced number of strokes for a
prolonged period of time, the machine should be
left at a no-load speed from time to time for a
period of 1 to 3 minutes to allow the motor to cool
down.
TYPES OF CUTS
WARNING! For safety reasons, the machine should
always be unplugged from the mains before changing
the disc or wheel.
Inclined cuts (Fig.5)
To work with inclined cuts, loosen screw I , and incline
the base according to the desired cutting angle, which
is indicated on graduated scale
P on the base itself.
Firmly tighten screw I .
The base should be placed as far forward as pos-
sible to allow for unlimited saw blade inclination
(Fig.5
pos. 1 ).
Vertical cuts
The base is placed as far back as possible so that the
blade is centered at
pos. 2 (Fig.5).
To start working on wood on inner cuts the assembly
car be beared through the front portion of the base
plate and slowly press until the saw blade has gone
through the material to be processed.
If there is no training or when working on other
materials it is necessary to make a previous ad-
justment hole.
To carry out this the pendulum mechanism should be at
position 0.
