These can cause the saw to jam dangerously. Also watch out for this with waste wood.
This often requires less careful sawing, so there is a danger that you may not be quite so
careful about watching out for irregularities in the wood.
5.
Do not saw workpieces that are thicker than the length of the saw.
6. Do not touch metal parts of the jigsaw when sawing in walls or floors in which there could be
electricity cables. Hold the jigsaw tightly with both hands on the plastic grip so that you do
not touch parts that could become live if you accidentally saw through an electricity cable.
7.
When you have finished sawing, switch off the appliance first and wait until the saw comes
to a standstill before removing it from the workpiece.
8.
Do not use long extension cables.
9.
Keep the plastic guard in place while the saw is in use.
Applications
The jigsaw can be used to cut workpieces of various materials (wood, aluminium, plastic,
metal etc.) precisely to size and in any desired shape.
Assembling saw
To assemble the saw, proceed as follows:
1.
Loosen the two socket head screws at the front with the Allen key supplied.
2.
Place the saw (3) in the saw buckle (7). Make sure that the teeth point upwards and
forward. The smooth side of the saw must rest against the wheel.
3.
Push the saw as far into the buckle as possible.
4.
Secure the saw by tightening the two socket head screws again.
Make sure that the socket head screws are tightened evenly so that the saw blade sits
correctly in the saw buckle. A crooked blade can result in an unsatisfactory cut.
Adjusting the bottom plate
Adjust the angle of the bottom plate (4) as follows:
1.
Loosen the socket head screw (8) with the Allen key supplied.
2.
Move the bottom plate forward slightly to unlock it.
3.
Turn the bottom plate to the right or left in the desired sawing angle.
You can read this on the protractor. The maximum sawing angle is 45º.
4.
Push the bottom plate backward again to interlock it.
5.
Tighten the socket head screw again.
Operation
Start:
Depress the on/off trigger (1) and, at the same time, depress the trigger locking button (2).
Stop:
Release the on/off trigger.

General safety instuctions
Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power
tool. Save these instuctions!
1) Work
area
a.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust of
fumes.
c.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical
safety
a.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs which earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Always use tool in
conjunction with a residual circuit breaker device.
3) Personal
safety
a.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
