Loosen the two hexagon screws (Fig 10) located on
the underside of the machine using the hexagon key
provided.
Slightly raise the base until the base can be moved to
one of the preset cutting angles shown on the angle
scale (Fig 11). Finally re-tighten the hex screws.
GENERAL CUTTING
Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and
align cutting edge of the blade with the line on your
workpiece.
Start your saw and move it forward on the work
surface. Press the machine firmly down onto the
workpiece and push slowly forward letting the blade
cut freely. Increasing the pressure will not result in a
faster cut.
Note: If the jigsaw base is not held firmly into the
workpiece the blade will snag and break.
METAL CUTTING
NOTE: The jigsaw has to be in the no-orbit mode to
cut metals and conduit. Set the orbital adjustment
knob to "0", Fig 12.
When cutting metals a suitable cooling/cutting oil
must be used. Simply squirt the lubricant onto the
blade or work piece at regular intervals during cutting
to reduce blade wear.
NOTE: Do not immerse the jigsaw in water or allow
coolant to enter the casing. A fatal electric shock
could occur.
When cutting conduit, pipe or angle iron, clamp work
in a vice if possible and saw close to the vice. To cut
thin sheet materials, "sandwich" the material between
hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to
eliminate vibration and material tearing. By doing this,
the material will be cut smoothly. Lay out your pattern
or line of cut on top of the "sandwich."
Note: When cutting metal, keep exposed portion of
saw bar clean and free of metal chips by wiping
frequently with an oily cloth. Use extreme caution in
disposing of oily cloth after completion of job to
prevent potential fire hazard.
FORWARD/REAR AIR OUTLET
The forward air outlet can be used to either blow
debris from the blade during operation or send the air
to the dust extraction outlet. To select air to be blown
towards the blade slide the switch to the right, Fig 13.
To select air to be blown towards the dust extraction
outlet slide the switch to the left, Fig 14.
CIRCLE CUTTING
When starting a cut from the center of the work piece,
drill a 12mm diameter hole to ensure that there is
enough clearance for the blade.
TIP
When cutting materials with a decorative or polished
finish cover either the base of the jigsaw or the
surface of the material being cut with masking or
other suitable tape to prevent scratching.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Always remove battery pack from your
tool when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing
battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
This power tool normally requires no maintenance;
from time to time the ventilation slots on the motor
casing should be cleaned out. If the unit should
become defective, repair should be performed by an
authorized service agent for electric tools.
The tool may be cleaned most effectively with
compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept
clean and free of foreign matter. Do not at tempt to
clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
WARNING! Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating oils,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly
abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, we do not recommended using this
tool for extended work on these types of materials.
However, if you do work with any of these materials, it
is extremely important to clean the tool using
compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
