3.3
speed setting.
A variable speed switch is located in the handle (fig.2.3). switch
setting 1 is the lowest speed and setting 6 is the highest.
3.4
Cutting: Maximum thickness: wood 100mm; Metal 10mm
3.4.1
general cutting.
a) select the correct blade for the material.
b) check that the base plate is at 90° to the saw blade.
c) switch on the laser guide (fig.1.2) and maintain the laser beam on
the scribed line on the workpiece throughout the cutting process.
Note:
use a light cutting oil for metals where necessary.
3.4.2
arc cutting.
to cut small circles or arcs, reduce the speed by using the variable
speed switch.
3.4.3
Centre cutting.
Drill a pilot hole large enough for the blade of the jigsaw into the
centre of the hole to be cut.
3.4.4
Mitre (angle) cutting.
Loosen the two hex screws underneath the base plate (fig.4.1). slide
the base plate towards the back of the saw and then twist the base to
the required angle using the scale marked on the plate and then slide
the base forward to locate and then re-tighten the hex screws. Ensure
work is adequately clamped, especially when cutting at a 45° angle.
s
DANGER! Ensure the jigsaw is switched off and unplugged from
the mains before adjusting base plate.
3.5
Pendulum cutting (fig.5).
Pendulum cutting is performed by adjusting the pendulum switch. this
option will allow the blade to swing, resulting in improved cutting and
the use of a higher speed for certain materials.
a) When the pendulum selector is set at “0” the pendulum mechanism
is off, the blade will operate in a rigid up and down movement.
b) to engage the pendulum option, turn switch to number "1". to
increase the amount of swing, progress to number "2".
3.6
Using the graduated guide (fig.6).
3.6.1 the graduated guide allows a cut to be made parallel to a given edge
of the workpiece, thereby ensuring a straight, accurate cut.
3.6.2 slide the graduated rule into the base and position as desired.
tighten the fixing screws to ensure guide does not slip/move out of
position.
3.6.3 Execute cut, ensuring the flat plate of the guide remains in contact
with the edge of the workpiece.
3.7
Dust / chip extraction.
3.7.1 this jigsaw is equipped with a dust/chip extractor outlet which can be
connected to any vacuum cleaner.
3.7.2 Mount the adaptor on the jigsaw and fix it in place by twisting
anti-clockwise (fig.2.7).
3.7.3 Attach the hose of your vacuum cleaner to the adaptor. note: should
you require a special adaptor, please contact the manufacturer of your
vacuum cleaner.
3.8
Laser guide adjustment.
3.8.1 switch on the laser guide and check the alignment of the beam, the
beam should run parallel to the centre line of the jigsaw, if adjustment
is required, slacken screw fig.7c and rotate laser fig.7D until the beam
is parallel to the centre line, tighten screw c.
3.8.2 to adjust the vertical alignment (fig.8) place the jigsaw centrally on a
marked line along its length. Depending to the direction of the
adjustment slacken the screw fig.7A or 7B and tighten the opposite
side to move the beam until it is central with the centre line marked
underneath the jigsaw.
DaNgER! DO NOT
shine laser beam into your own or anybody
elses eyes.
