and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
u
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
u
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or ac-
cessories.
u
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
u
Impairment of hearing.
u
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
Use
Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fig. C)
Warning!
Never use the tool when the shoe plate is loose or
removed.
The shoe plate (4) can be set to a left or right bevel angle of
22.5° or 45°.
u
Loosen the screw (10).
u
Pull the shoe (4) forward, rotate the shoe to the left or right
and push it back into the 22.5° or 45° location.
u
Tighten the screw.
To reset the shoe plate (4) for 90° cuts:
u
Loosen the screw (10).
u
Pull the shoe (4) forward, rotate to the centre and push it
back into the 0° location.
u

How to Use the Sightline® Feature (fig. D)
u

u
Position the jig saw over the line (11).
Viewing from directly above the jig saw, the line of cut can be
followed easily.
Cutting mode
Pendulum stroke or action provides a more aggressive blade
motion and is designed for cutting soft materials such as wood
or plastic. It provides a faster cut, but with a less smooth cut
across the material. Dependant on model, your jig saw will
have either a Pendulum Stroke dial or an Auto Select dial to
set the pendulum action. Use of these dials is explained in the
next two sections.
Note:
Never use pendulum action to cut metal.
