Operating Instructions
12� FINGER PROTECTION
The finger protection is located in front of the blade holder. Whilst working, it will help
prevent accidental contact with moving blade.
13� DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE
This is a small aperture located underneath the housing just behind the blade guide.
Ensure this is kept clean to allow the air flow to continually blow dust away from the cutting
area.
14� WORK LIGHT
Press the on/off switch (2), the work light(14)will illuminate. Release the on/off switch to
turn off the work light.
CAUTION:
Do not look into the strong light or see the source of light directly.
If your jigsaw becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to
maximum and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very
low speeds.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut. Always ensure
the work–piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. For easier control, use low
speed to start cutting, then increase to correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the
upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or face of the work piece. Ensure your
uppermost surface is a non-visible surface when your work is finished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood materials. To reduce
edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at both ends on both sides and cut through the
waste wood during cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles.
