ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Standard cutting
When using the laser guide for
cutting ensure that the laser is on
and lines up with the groove marked
centrally on the base plate. Check
the base plate is located fully and
locked firmly in place in the forward
position.
Choose appropriate saw blade (13) and set
the base (6) at 0° so that the saw blade is at
90° with the base. Make sure that the plug is
disconnected from the mains.
Mark the cutting line on the work piece (good
side down) .Place the jig saw flat on the work
piece.
Plug the power plug into the wall outlet.
Switch on the jigsaw until it reaches full speed.
Then the blade goes forwards slowly along the
cutting line while applying light pressure on
the saw.
Never force the jigsaw forward as
this will twist the blade
and cause
the cut to be off line. Simply allow
the jigsaw to do the
work and move
the jigsaw forward to maintain
contact between the blade and work
piece.
Bevel or angle cutting
WARNING: To prevent damage to
the tool during bevel or angle cutting,
the scroll wheel mechanism must be
locked in place (using pendulum
position 0) with the cutting edge of
the blade facing the front of the tool.
Make sure that the plug is disconnected from
the mains.
To adjust the base (6) to the desired angle
(refer to the description on Page 13.
Mark the cutting line on the work piece (good
side down) .Place the jig saw flat on the work
piece.
Plug the power plug into the wall outlet.
Switch on the jigsaw until it reaches full speed.
Then the blade goes forwards slowly along
the cutting line while applying light pressure
on the saw.
Parallel cutting
Make sure that the plug is disconnected from
the mains.
To fit the parallel guide, please refer to the
description on Page 10. There is a scale from
0-15 cm on the guide. Set the desired cutting
width. Tighten the locking screws.
Plug the power plug into the wall outlet.
Put the fence along the work piece and switch
on the jig saw until it reaches full speed. The
blade will progress forward slowly along the
cutting line while applying light pressure on
the saw.
Plunge cutting
Using a drill driver make a sufficiently large
hole in the work piece to give the blade
sufficient flexibility.
Put the blade into the hole and then switch on
the saw until it reaches full speed.
When the base (6) seats flat on the work-piece,
continue sawing along the desired cutting line.
Circular cutting
Circular cuts may only be applied to
soft materials, such as wood, gypsum
plaster boards, etc
Use only short saw blades for plunge
cutting. Plunge cutting is possible only
with the mitre angle set at 0°.
• Select the maximum stroke rate.
• Place the machine with the front edge of the
base (6) on to the work piece so the saw
blade (13) is not in contact with the work
piece and switch on.
• Firmly hold the machine against the work
piece and by tilting the machine, slowly
plunge the saw blade into the work piece.
The leading edge of the base plate (6) is
acting as the pivot, make sure that you can
change the pivot position if required
