Specific Safety Rules
Only use blades in perfect condition.
Keep the shoe flat on the work piece.
Do not put pressure on the saw so that it will slow down.
Always switch off before you put the jig saw down.
Disconnect the saw from the power supply when it is not in use, before cleaning and changing saw blades.
The unit should only be used as a hand-held tool and must never be fixed in an inverted position for use as a
bench saw.
Advice to wear a dust mask.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

LED light
The LED light will light when you press the on/off trigger.
Dust extraction
The jig saw is equipped with a dust extractor socket. Any vacuum cleaner can be connected to the socket
at the rear of the jig saw. If you require a special adapter, please contact the manufacture of your vacuum
cleaner.
Maintenance and Service
WARNING:
Before any work on the machine, pull the mains plug from the power source.
Only use accessories and spare parts recommended by the manufacturer. If the equipment should fail some
day in spite of our quality controls and your maintenance, only have it repaired by an authorised electrician.
If the carbon brushes need to be replaced, have this done by a qualified repair person (always replace the
two brushes at the same time.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service anent in order to avoid
a hazard. Disconnect from the power supply immediately if the supply cord is damaged.
Clean
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and ventilation slots clean.
Clean dust and debris from vents, Keep the tool handles clean and free of oil or grease, Use only mild soap
and a damp cloth to clean your tool since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Speed adjustment
The speed can be set with the knob up on the tool. There are six different speeds. Position 1 sets the lowest
speed, and position 6 the highest. Hold the handle and turn the speed control to the required position with
your thumb.
Setting the Pendulum
For soft materials (wood, plastic etc.) set the oscillation to position 2 or 3.
For sharp-edged cuts, set the oscillation to position 0 or 1.
For medium-hard materials (hard wood, aluminum etc.) set the oscillation to a suitable position for the
application.
For thin workpiece, set the oscillation to position 0 or 1.
For hard materials (steel etc.) set the oscillation to position 0.
For round cuts, set the oscillation to position 0.
Mounting the saw blade (Fig.2)
Disconnect the tool from the mains. A special handle ensures quick
mounting.
Mount the saw blade
1. Push the handle and keep the holder in open position.
2. Insert the saw blade up to the end into the saw blade holder and
release the handle. Make sure the saw blade is touching the guide
roller.
3. Slightly pull the saw blade to ensure firm fit.
Remove the saw blade
Push the handle and keep the holder in open position, then pull out
the saw blade.
Attention: The saw blade will become very hot during cutting due to friction. Pay attention for that when
removing the saw blade.
Protect yourself with protective gloves if necessary.
Adjusting the base (Fig.3)
For mitering and sawing near edges.
For miter and bevel cuts you can swivel the base by up to 450 in either direction after undoing the two screws
on the bottom. The angles 15°, 30° and 45° are marked but you can adjust the saw to any angle between
these markings as required.
Fig.3
To adjust the cutting angle, loose the two screws until you can just about move the base and adjust to the
required angle, then re-tighten the two screws.
To enable you to saw right up to the edge, the base can be pushed backward. Loose the two
screws underneath and push the base back. Then re-tighten the two screws.
It is prohibited to use the machine on asbestos materials. Please note the accident prevention regulations in
force in you country.
Cutting veneered chipboard (Fig.4)
Use a fine saw blade.
Position the base on the uncovered area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protect-
ed supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source
and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power too that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
