7.4 Dust-collection (Fig.7)
Fig. 7
To keep the work surface clean, the jigsaw is
equipped with a connection for dust extrac-
tion. You can connect your vacuum cleaner to
this. Use the vacuum cleaner adapter supplied
for this.
7.5 Guard
The jigsaw is fitted with a guard. Make sure
that this guard is always mounted correctly
while the jigsaw is in use.
7.6 Sawing
• Switch on the jigsaw.
• Place the bottom plate of the appliance on the
workpiece.
• Move slowly towards the previously drawn
sawing line and press the jigsaw forward
slowly. Press the bottom plate firmly against
the workpiece. If you do not do this the
jigsaw is likely to vibrate and the saw blade
will break.
Let the jigsaw do the work. Do not
press too hard on the jigsaw.
7.7 Parallel saw guide (Fig. 8)
Fig. 8
If you want to make a saw cut that runs parallel
to the edge of the plank, use the parallel saw
guide supplied. You do this as follows:
• Loosen the socket head screws on the front of
the bottom plate.
• Slide the parallel saw guide through the ope
-
nings at the side of the bottom plate.
• Determine the distance between the saw cut
and the side of the workpiece.
• Secure the guide at this distance with the
socket head screws. If the required distance
between saw cut and side is 5 cm, set the
indicator ‘5’on the guide exactly above the
saw blade.
• Tighten the socket head screws again.
7.8 Cutting in (Fig. 9)
Fig. 9
If the starting position of the workpiece to be
sawn is not the side, or if no hole has been
drilled, you must cut in. To do this, proceed
as follows:
