Set the adjuster knob (5) to position “0”.
Present the jig saw to the workpiece, with the
leading edge of the foot-plate (11) resting on the
workpiece. Switch the jig saw on and hold it firmly,
slowly guiding it downwards.
When the jig saw has cut a free path, the orbital
saw blade movement can be switched on.
With thicker workpieces, it is necessary to drill a
hole first and then insert the saw blade through it.
10 Maintenance
Be aware of the danger of injury
represented by the sharp saw blade.
All maintenance operations must be
carried out with the saw blade at rest.
Switch off the jig saw and disconnect
from the mains supply.
Clean the air intake aperture behind the grooved
roller supporting the saw blade as required. From
time to time lubricate the roller with a drop of oil.
Have the carbon brushes replaced by the
manufacturer or in an appropriate specialist
workshop only.
