Setting the pendulum action
Note:
This jigsaw features a pendulum cutting function. Pendulum action enables more efficient
cutting .
1 . For fast cutting and thick material, set the Pendulum Action Selector (6) to a high number
2. For fine cutting and thin material, set the Pendulum Action Selector to a low number
Note:
Practise using different pendulum settings to achieve the best finish for your material.
Setting the bevel angle
Note:
This jigsaw is equipped with a tilting Shoe (5). This allows bevel cuts to be made up to 45° to
the left or right-hand side .
1. To alter the angle of the Shoe, invert the jigsaw and loosen the Bevel Locking Screws (11) with
the Hex Key (14) . The Shoe is now free to pivot
2. Adjust the Shoe to the required angle and then tighten the Bevel Locking Screws
Note:
Ensure the Shoe is secured firmly in position prior to use.
Setting the cutting speed
• To alter the cutting speed, rotate the Speed Control Dial (1) . A high number indicates a high
cutting speed
• Always set the machine speed to suit the material being cut
• For soft materials use a high cutting speed
• For hard materials use a low cutting speed. If cutting metal, use a suitable coolant/cutting fluid
Operation
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection, an adequate dust mask, hearing protection and
suitable gloves, when working with this tool .
Note:
Before you use your jigsaw, it is recommended that you practise on scrap material. The
settings of the tool are crucial to achieving a good quality finish, and your work could easily be
damaged by using an incorrect setting .
Handling your jigsaw
• Ensure that work will not move whilst being cut . Use clamps where appropriate
• Always ensure that the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (2) and Lock-On Button (3) are NOT engaged
before connecting the saw to the power supply
• Always hold the jigsaw securely using the handle provided. Keep hands well away from all
moving parts
• For some tasks it may be preferable to lock the machine in the 'on' position . To do this, squeeze
the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (2) and depress the Lock-On Button (3) . The machine will now
continue to run until the trigger switch is squeezed and released
WARNING:
Allow the motor and blade to come to a complete stop before placing the tool
down . Always unplug the tool if it is to be left unattended .
Using the laser light
WARNING:
NEVER look directly into the beam . Never direct the beam . Never direct the beam
towards other people. The beam should only be aimed towards solid, non-reflective materials. DO
NOT switch the laser ON until the saw is positioned against the workpiece .
1 . To switch ON the laser, press the Laser Switch (11)
Note:
The laser line indicates the line of cut that will be made if the saw is moved forward in a
straight line .
2 . To switch OFF the laser, press the Laser Switch (11) again
Making a cut
Note: Always wear appropriate safety equipment . Use of this tool requires eye protection, gloves, ear
defenders, and good quality respiratory protection .
1. Hold the jigsaw securely and rest the front edge of the Shoe (5) on the edge of the workpiece
2 . If starting a cut away from the edge of the workpiece, drill a pilot hole large enough for the blade
to pass through, where you wish to start the cut
3. Check that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece, or any other object
4 . Start the machine by pressing the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (2)
5. Allow the motor to reach full speed, and smoothly push the jigsaw forwards across the workpiece
6 . Maintain a steady movement, and ensure that the Shoe (5) is kept pressed against the work .
Ensure that the power lead is kept well away from the front of the saw as the cut is made
7 . Allow the blade to pass through the material, then release the trigger switch . Alternatively, if the
cut does not reach the edge of the workpiece, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to
stop moving before lifting out of the cut
8 . Do not place the machine down until the motor and blade have completely stopped
Using the parallel guide fence
• When working parallel to an edge, use the Parallel Guide Fence (13)
• The guide fence locates in the front of the Shoe (5) and is secured by tightening the Guide
Locking Screws (8) with the Hex Key (14)
• To follow an edge, simply make a cut, whilst keeping the vertical foot of the guide fence pressed
against the edge to be followed
Metal cutting
• Always use a suitable coolant/cutting oil when cutting metal . Failure to do so will cause
significant blade wear
• A continuous line of grease can be applied to the underneath of the workpiece, instead of
applying a a coolant from above
• Apply lubricant or cutting oil between the blade and roller when cutting metal or other hard
materials . Failure to do so will shorten the service life of your blade and roller
Accessories
• A wide range of accessories, including blades for different kinds of materials and cuts, is available
from your Silverline stockist
• Spare parts can be obtained at toolsparesonline .com
