ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Installing and changing the blade
Unplug the power cord and wear protective
gloves when fitting the blades.
Select a blade that suits the type of work to be
performed:
▪
Always use sharp blades;
▪
Blades with larger teeth spacing produce more
aggressive cuts, but less accurate than fine-teeth
blades;
▪
Use fine-teeth blades for smooth and accurate cuts;
▪
Use smaller blades for round cuts;
▪
For plastic, aluminum and steel use fine-teeth blades;
1. Set the blade pendulum stroke selector (5) to position
3;
2. Press the saw blade locking lever and insert the saw
blade into the quick fitting with the teeth facing
forward;
3. Release the saw blade locking lever;
4. Pull the blade to check that it is properly placed;
5. To remove the saw blade, press the blade locking
lever and pull the blade out;
Parallel guide
1. Loosen the parallel guide fixing screws (3);
2. Insert the guide rail (2) into the hole in the base plate
(13);
3. Tighten the fixing screws;
Connecting the jigsaw to vacuum systems
To keep the working surface clean use the dust
extraction port.
1. Install the vacuum cleaner adaptor into the dust
extraction port (11);
2. Insert the vacuum cleaner hose into the vacuum
cleaner adaptor;
3. Always turn on the vacuum cleaner before start
operating with the jigsaw;
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The jigsaw was conceived to perform cuts in wood,
metal and plastic, using proper blades for each type of
material.
When operating the equipment, some precautions
must be considered:
▪
Always use sharp blades in good condition. Replace
damaged or bent blades immediately;
▪
Ensure that the blade guard is always installed when
cutting;
▪
Never hold the workpiece with the hands nor place it
over the legs. Secure the workpiece on a stable
surface;
▪
Make sure there are any obstructions on the cutting
surface nor underneath the workpiece;
▪
When cutting wood lengthwise, always use a guide.
This improves the cutting accuracy and reduces the
risk of the blade get jammed;
▪
Do not try to cut pieces with thickness greater than
the cutting capacity of the blade and where there is
not enough space to allow the blade stroke;
▪
Do not apply too much pressure over the jigsaw
against the workpiece. If the speed decreases
abruptly, you must immediately reduce the pressure
applied;
▪
Do not turn the power tool on if the blade is touching
the workpiece.
Allow the blade to reach its maximum
speed before
starting cutting;
▪
When resuming the cutting process, center the blade
on the existing cut and ensure that the blade teeth
are not in contact with the workpiece and that the
blade reaches maximum speed;
▪
After turning off the saw, the blade will continue to
move for a short period of time. Allow the jigsaw to
stop completely before removing it from the
workpiece;
