Following one of the above procedures, hold
the base plate in position and firmly tighten the
bolts to clamp the base plate at the desired angle.
Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate
is firmly clamped. The angle markings on the
base plate are accurate for most general purpose
cutting but it is recommended for accurate work
to set the angle with a protractor and make a test
cut on a piece of scrap material.
12. Blade protection bar
The blade protection bar is located in front of the
blade holder. While working, it will help prevent
accidental contact with
the moving blade.
13. Disposal of an exhausted battery pack
To preserve natural resources, please recycle
or dispose of the battery pack properly.
This battery pack contains nickel-cadmium
batteries. Consult your local waste authority for
information regarding available recycling and/or
disposal options. Discharge your battery pack
by operating your drill, then remove the battery
pack from the drill housing and cover the battery
pack connections with heavy duty adhesive tape
to prevent short circuit and energy discharge.
Do not attempt to open or remove any of the
components.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
JIGSAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed
to maximum and run no load for 2-3 minutes to
cool the motor.
General
Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. Always ensure the
work–piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. For easier control, use low speed to
start cutting, then increase to correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the
quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward
stroke and may chip the uppermost surface.
Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-visible
surface when your work is finished.
