Working hints for your Jig saw
1. Here is some advice on the pendulum action
control: the saw blade is only pressed against the
material on the return stroke/working stroke. It is
moved away from the material on the forward
stroke. The result is better removal of chips, less
friction and therefore a higher output.
2. To avoid the jigsaw springing up and down when
sawing sheets, support the sheet on timbers. When
sawing metal, apply a none flammable coolant oil
along the cutting line.
3. Adjust the speed and the pendulum action settings
to suit the material to be sawn. We always
recommend that you carry out a test cut first.
4. To use the jigsaw put the front end of the base plate
on the material and turn the machine on.
Press the machine from above on to the material
and guide the jigsaw along the cutting line.
5. Do not use too much pressure to achieve the best
progress when sawing, use light pressure on the
saw blade.
6. When sawing along a marked line use the laser as a
guide.
7. For exact cutting, clamp a timber batten on to the
material as an aid or use the parallel guide.
8. For mitres/bevels, set the base plate in the required
position.
9. Set the base plate to its rearmost position for
cutting close to an edge.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in
your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners
to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through
the ventilation slots. This is normal.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your
