Operating instructions for the
EPJ 500 E electronic jig saw
Fitting the transparent guard
Slide the transparent guard onto the machine as
shown in Fig. 1 and secure it with the supplied scr-
ews. Push the anti-splinter device onto the soleplate
as shown.
STARTING UP

Switching off:
Release the On/Off switch
Continuous operation
Switching on:
Press the On/Off switch, keep pres
sed and lock with the locking button
Switching off:
Press the On/Off switch and release
Electronic speed control setting
(Figure 4)
You can use the speed controller to set the speed
required. Turn the speed controller in PLUS direction
to increase the speed, turn it in MINUS direction to
reduce the speed. The ideal blade speed varies with
the material and working conditions.
The general rules for cutting speeds during machi-
ning operations apply in this case too.
Pendulum
(Figure 4)
The adjustable three-stage pendulum action makes it
possible to adjust the blade penetration on the up-
ward stroke for the various working material. Optimal
cutting performance is thereby achieved. The saw
blade is lifted from the workpiece in the downward
stroke. This results in improved chip ejection while
substantially reducing frictional heat and increase the
life expectancy of the saw blade.
The pendulum action can be adjusted to one of three
stages.
Stage 0 = Pendulum action off (best for metal)
Stage 1 = low pendulum action (best for thick wood)
Stage 2 = high pendulum action (best for thin wood)
Changing the saw blade
(Figure 2)
Switch off the jigsaw and remove the plug from the
power socket before changing the blade or carrying
out any other work on the jigsaw.
Use the supplied allen key to undo the two screws on
the ram (Figure 2). Slide the saw blade into the guide
slot and up to the stop between the piston rod and
the retention clip. Use the supplied allen key to tigh-
ten the two screws. The teeth of the saw blade must
face in cutting direction. Make sure that the saw
blade sits properly in the guide slot of the ram and
roller.
Adjusting the base
(for mitering and sawing near edges, Figure 5)
For mitre and bevel cuts you can swivel the base by
up to 45° in either direction after undoing the two
screws on the bottom. The angles 15°, 30° and 45°
are marked but you can adjust the saw to any angle
between these markings as required.
To adjust the cutting angle, undo the two screws
(Figure 5) until you can just about move the base.
Adjust to the required angle and re-tighten the two
screws.
To enable you to saw right up to the edge, the base
can be pushed backward. To do so, undo the two
screws underneath (Figure 5) and push the base to
the back. Re-tighten the two screws.
Dust extraction
The jigsaw is equipped with a dust extractor socket.
Any vacuum cleaner can be connected to the socket
at the rear of the jigsaw. If you require a special
adapter, please contact the manufacturer of your
vacuum cleaner.
