Sawing in Wood
FIG. 8
1. If necessary, draw a cutting line.
2. Switch the tool on.
3. Hold the tool against the
workpiece and follow the line.
For sawing parallel to the edge of your
workpiece, install the parallel fence and
guide your jigsaw along the workpiece
as shown in Figure 8.
Sawing in Wood Using a Pilot
Hole
1. If necessary, draw a cutting line.
2. Drill a minimum 12 mm pilot hole
to introduce the jigsaw blade.
3. Switch the tool on.
4. Follow the line.
For cutting perfectly round shapes,
FIG. 9
install the trammel bar and set it to the
required radius (Fig. 9).
Sawing Up to a Projecting Edge
1. Using a conventional blade, cut up to
the projected edge.
2. Finish off the cut using a flush cutting
blade.
Sawing in Metal
1. Mount an appropriate saw blade.
2. Proceed as described above.
• Never run your tool without a saw blade.
• For optimal results, move the tool smoothly and constantly over the workpiece.
Do not exert lateral pressure on the saw blade. Keep the shoe flat on the
workpiece and lead the cord away in line with the tool. When sawing curves,
circles or other round shapes, push the tool gently forward.
• Wait until the tool has come to a standstill before removing the saw blade from
the workpiece.
• After sawing the blade may be very hot. Do not touch.

Speed (Fig. 7)
The sawing speed varies with the pressure
exerted on the on/off switch (A).
To preset the sawing speed, turn the
control dial (C) to the desired level. The
higher the rate, the higher the sawing
speed. The required setting depends on the
thickness and kind of material.
Use high speeds for sawing soft materials
such as wood. Use low speeds for sawing
metal.
