Note: If the jigsae base is not held firmly into the workpiece the blade will snag and break.
METAL CUTTING
NOTE: The jigsaw has to be in the no-orbit mode to cut metals and conduit. Set the orbital
adjustment knob to "0", Fig. 12.
When cutting metals a suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used. Simply squirt the lubricant
onto the blade or work piece at regular intervals during cutting to reduce blase wear.
NOTE: Do not immerse the higsaw in water or allow coolant to enter the casing. A fatal
electric shock could occur.
When cutting conduit, pipe or angle iron, clamp work ion a vice if possible and saw close to
the vice. To vut thin sheet materials, "sandwich" material between hardboard or plywood and
clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and materieal tearing. By doing this, the material will
be cut smoothly. Lay out your pattern or line of cut on top of the "sandwich".
Note: When cutting metal, keep exposed portion of saw bar clean and free of metal chips by
wiping frequently with an oily cloth. Use extreme caution in disposing of oily cloth after
completion of job to prevent potential fire hazard.
FORWARD/REAR AIR OUTLET
The forward air outlet can be used to either blow debris from the blade during operation or
send the air to the dust extraction outlet. To select air to be blown towards the blade slide the
switch to the right, Fig. 13. To select ait to be blown towards the dust extraction outlet slide
the switch to the left, Fig. 14.
CIRCLE CUTTING
When starting a cut from the center of the work piece, drill a 12mm diameter hole to ensure
that there is enough clearance for the blade.
TIP
When cutting material with a decorative or polished finish cover either the base of the jigsaw
or the surface of the material being cut with masking or other suitable tape to prevent
scratching.
