2.  Release the blade change control and the blade will secure 

firmly in place.

3.  Replace the plug and run the jigsaw under no load to 

check that it runs smoothly and the blade is secure before 

using it to cut any materials.

Dust extraction adaptor

The dust extraction adaptor (13) allows a dust extraction 

system or a household vacuum cleaner to be connected to 

the tool in order to remove dust whilst the tool is in use.

Warning. 

Do not use a dust extraction system or a vacuum 

cleaner when cutting metal. Sparks may ignite residual 

wood dust.

Using the redeye laser line system

Laser light assembly

The laser light is powered from a transformer housed within 

the assembly. The REDEYE® laser line can be used for 

improved operator cutting vision, accuracy of cut, faster set-

up and increased safety of operation.

Laser light on/off switch

The laser beam can be switched on and off using the 

switch (1).

Laser aperture

When the REDEYE® laser line is switched on, an intense 

narrow beam of pure red light is emitted from the laser 

aperture (14). The line shines along the work piece to guide 

you as you cut. The line is clearly visible and will not be 

obscured by sawdust.

Maintenance

WARNING.

 Always ensure that the tool is switched off and 

the plug is removed from the power point before making 

any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all 

times.

2. Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has 

entered the grills near the motor and around the trigger 

switch. Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated 

dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst 

cleaning.

3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with 

a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but 

nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.

5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION. 

Water must never come into contact with 

the saw.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried 

out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an 

authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.

General inspection

Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They 

may vibrate loose over time.
