JCB-20JS
Instruction & User Manual
Lever Position: 0 - Linear Stroke
m
For cutting soft steel, stainless steel, plastic
and HDF boards.
m
For precise sawing of all materials for straight
and curved cuts.
m
For clean cuts into wood and plywood.
m
For sawing of splinter-susceptible materials.
Lever Position 1 - Small Pendulum
m
For cutting soft steel, aluminium and
hardwood.
Lever Position 2 - Medium Pendulum
m
For cutting wood and plywood.
Lever Position 3 - Large Pendulum
m
For fast cutting wood and plywood.
m
Only for cutting in straight cuts.
When using pendulum strokes, cutting edges
may splinter more than when working with
linear strokes. Brittle coatings on soft sub-
strates - e.g. laminated board are particularly
prone to this occurring.
NOTE
Dust Collection
The jig saw can produce a lot of sawdust. By
connecting the machine to a vacuum cleaner, a
clean and dust free operation is possible.
Dust extraction is not possible for mitre cuts.
NOTE
m
Slide the dust nozzle (3) all the way into the
opening until the snap-in nose visibly and
audibly locks into place.
m
Connect the dust nozzle with a vacuum
cleaner or dust extractor.
When sawing wood it is best to use an addi-
tional dust protection mask as wood dust is a
health hazard.
NOTE
Parallel Stop
To cut parallel to a wood edge you can use
the enclosed parallel stop. In order to fix the
parallel stop:
m
Loosen the fastening screws (8) slightly.
m
Using the scale on the parallel stop, you can
adjust the distance between the stop bar
and the saw blade.
m
Secure parallel stop by tightening the
fastening screws in the desired position.
m
When not using the parallel stop, tighten the
fastening screws securely. Otherwise the
screws can be unscrewed and fall off due to
the vibration of sawing.
Maintenance
Switch off the power tool and disconnect
the power (remove battery/unplug) before
cleaning and maintenance. This helps avoid
the risk of electric shocks and accidental
starting.
WARNING!
m
Wipe the power tool with a dry or damp
cloth.
Do not use a wet cloth.
Do not
use detergent that contains solvent
or corrosive, abrasive additives.
This
risks damaging the surfaces of the power
tool.
