OPERATION

!!

The tool is recommended for use with a residual current device with a rated
residual current of 30mA or less.

Turning the Jigsaw On/off

To turn on the jigsaw, squeeze the trigger. To turn off, release the trigger. The tool can be
locked on for continuous use by squeezing the trigger fully and depressing the lock
button, gently release both the lock on button and the trigger, the tool will continue to
operate. To turn the tool off from a locked on position, squeeze and release the trigger
once. 

Caution: Do not unplug from the power supply with the switch in the locked on position.
Always turn the tool off before disconnecting from the power supply.

WARNING!

A tool with the switch locked on will start immediately when

plugged in to a live power supply. Always make sure the switch is in the released
position prior to connecting the tool to a power supply.

Variable Speed Dial

The dial is incorporated into the trigger switch. The maximum speed of your tool can
be changed by rotating the variable speed dial to the desired setting. The dial not
only lets you select the speed to suit the job, but in doing so saves the blade from
undue wear.

The variable speed dial can be set so the maximum speed of the tool is limited
anywhere from 500 - 2,900spm.

Dust Extraction

With the adaptor supplied the tool can be attached to most portable vacuum cleaners.
To utilise this facility, connect the dust extraction adaptor to the dust extraction port at
the rear of the jigsaw. Fit the vacuum hose in or over the adaptor, depending on the
hose size. 

Note: 

The dust extraction system will only work when a house hold vacuum cleaner or

dust extraction machine is connected to the tool as described above.

Cutting

It is recommended to first mark your intended cutting line with a pencil or 
appropriate marker.

Start the tool and wait a short moment until the blade achieves maximum speed. Put
the bottom of the base on the work piece and move forward slowly along the cutting
line. Take extra care and time when cutting curved lines, this reduces stress on the
blade and avoids blade breakage.

WARNING!

Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
