Instruction & User Manual

Use of hex key on base plate 
adjustment

A hex key is provided in the package to use 
for base plate tightening.

NOTE

 

m

When adjusting the base plate, if required, 
use a hex key to tighten the bolt underneath 
the base plate.

Adjusting the Pendulum Stroke

 

m

Pendulum stroke is adjusted using the 
stroke adjustment lever. The pendulum 
stroke moves the saw blade in a horizontal, 
pendulum motion.

 

m

At level 0, the jig saw works in linear stroke 
and at levels 1-3 in pendulum stroke. 
At level 3 the pendulum motion is at its 
greatest.

 

m

To facilitate the removal of swarf from the 
blade during cutting, the saw is pushed 
backwards in the downward stroke. 
This increases the cutting speed in the 
longitudinal sections and less force is 
therefore needed when cutting.

 

m

Using pendulum stroke increases the service 
life of blades.

 

m

Correctly adjusting the pendulum stroke 
improves the operation of the jig saw. The 
blade is protected, the ejection of swarf 
is improved and frictional heat is greatly 
reduced.

The pendulum stroke can be adjusted while 
the jig saw is running.

NOTE

Lever Position: 0 - Linear Stroke

 

m

For cutting soft steel, stainless steel, plastic 
and HDF boards.

 

m

For precise sawing of all materials for straight 
and curved cuts.

 

m

For clean cuts into wood and plywood.

 

m

For sawing of splinter-susceptible materials.

Lever Position 1 - Small Pendulum

 

m

For cutting soft steel, aluminium and 
hardwood.

Lever Position 2 - Medium Pendulum

 

m

For cutting wood and plywood. 

Lever Position 3 - Large Pendulum

 

m

For fast cutting wood and plywood.

 

m

Only for cutting in straight cuts.

When using pendulum strokes, cutting edges 
may splinter more than when working with 
linear strokes. Brittle coatings on soft sub-
strates - e.g. laminated board are particularly 
prone to this occurring.

NOTE

 

Dust Collection

The jig saw can produce a lot of sawdust. By 
connecting the machine to a vacuum cleaner, a 
clean and dust free operation is possible.

Dust extraction is not possible for mitre cuts.

NOTE

 

m

Slide the nozzle all the way into the opening 
until the snap-in nose visibly and audibly 
locks into place.

 

m

Connect the dust nozzle with a vacuum 
cleaner or dust extractor.
