• Put the jigsaw on the rounded front of the
bottom plate .
• Switch on the appliance and slowly lower the
jigsaw until it touches the workpiece.
• Let the jigsaw cut into the workpiece gently
without forcing it.
• When you are through the workpiece, take
the jigsaw out of the hole.
• Place the appliance in the normal position in
the sawn hole and continue the saw cut.
You can also cut in by first drilling a hole in
the workpiece. To do this, use a bit that makes
a hole big enough for the saw blade. Now
you can carry out the steps described under
’Sawing’.
8. MAINTENANCE
During maintenance and cleaning
always remove the mains plug from
the socket. Never use liquids when
cleaning electrical parts of the
jigsaw.
Maintain the jigsaw regularly to prevent unne-
cessary problems. This will ensure that your
appliance remains in optimum condition.
• Keep the bottom plate clean so that no inac -
curacies occur during sawing.
• Keep the outside of the jigsaw clean so that
all moving parts can move accurately and
without wear.
• Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean
so that these do not overheat.
• If the carbon brushes are worn the jigsaw
will run noisily and unevenly. In the end the
jigsaw will no longer work. Have the carbon
brushes replaced by an authorized service
centre.
• Lubricate the saw blade guide regularly.
