TROUBLESHOOTING
1. After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all
dust particles that may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the tool to
overheat and fail.
2. If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part
of the tool into a liquid.
Carbon brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the jigsaw
will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon
as this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the jigsaw. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the jigsaw therefore
not covered under warranty. Continuing to use the
jigsaw when carbon brushes need to be replaced
may cause permanent damage to the jigsaw. Carbon
brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be
replaced, take the jigsaw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick
and low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same
time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the jigsaw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling
of the jigsaw.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the jigsaw failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be
replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualified
electrician or power tool repairer.
Cutting Metal
Your jigsaw can be used for cutting light gauge ferrous sheet and non-ferrous
metals such as copper, brass, aluminium, etc. It is advisable when cutting sheet
metal to clamp a backing sheet of soft wood or plywood to the work as this will
enable you to obtain a clean cut without vibration and the possibility of tearing the
metal. Both metal and wood backing are sawn together. Do not force the cutting
blade into the metal as this will reduce the life of the blade and possibly damage
the motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting even a relatively thick
piece of wood, so do not be tempted to speed up the operation by forcing the
saw. Spread a thin film of oil along the proposed cutting line before commencing
to saw metal. Always select the right blade for the job.
Spare parts can be ordered from the Special Orders Desk
at your local bunnings Warehouse.
