Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards
the eye of a person.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective surfaces i.e.
wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable.
Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective
surface could direct the beam back at the operator. Only turn laser beam on when tool is on
workpiece.
• Mark the line of the cut on the work piece.
• Adjust the bevel angle of cut as required.
• Plug in the machine and start the motor.
• When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately 2 seconds), place the saw on
the work piece.
• Switch on the laser beam using the switch (2)
• Align the beam with the mark on the work piece and slowly push the saw forward
using both hands, keeping the red light beam on the mark.
• Switch off the laser beam on completion of the cut.
ADJUSTING THE SHOE FOR ANGULAR CUTTING
Warning: Always ensure the tool is switched off and the plug is removed before making
any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
• To adjust the angle of cutting, first turn the jigsaw upside down. Loosen the hex screw
securing the blade guide assembly using the hex key provided.
• Next, loosen the hex screw securing the shoe plate (6) using the same hex key.
• Move the shoe plate slightly forward. It can now be tilted to set the required angle
between 0° and 45° using the scale marked on the shoe bracket (10).
• Next slide the shoe plate (6) until the blade guide (9) rests against the back edge of the
blade.
• Finally, retighten the hex screw. For accurate work it is necessary to make a trial cut,
measure the work and reset the angle until the correct setting is achieve.
FITTING THE PARALLEL GUIDE
The parallel guide (11) fits into the shoe plate (6) and is locked in place with the locking
knob. It is used to guide the jigsaw along a straight line which can be an edge of the work
piece or a piece of straight timber clamped to the work piece. By changing the position of
the guide and using the same straight edge as a guide, it is possible to quickly and easily
make parallel cuts in the work piece.
• Push the parallel guide (11) into the slot in the shoeplate (6).
• Adjust the guide to the required position and lock it inplace with the locking knob at
location (17).
