Adjustment of the cut angle
Fig.3
The adjustment of the cut angle must be done while the battery is disconnected.
It is possible to perform cuts at an angle of 0° to 45° by inclining the table of support to
the right or left-hand side.
To regulate the slope:
Using the Allen wrench provided, loosen the six sided screws located under the base,
then push the base forward and make it swivel to the right or to the left according to the
desired angle, then re-tighten the screws. The following angles are indicated on the scale
printed on the base: 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45°.
Adjustment of the pendular motion
The adjustment of the pendular motion must be done while the battery is disconnected.
The pendular motion gives the tool a higher degree of accuracy at the time of the cut and
improves the output. The blade undergoes a double movement: movement from top to
bottom and pendular from the front to the back.
To modify the pendular motion:
press on the selector placed on the left side of the machine, turning it to the desired
position. The adjustment of the pendular motion depends on many factors: speed,
materials, type of cut, etc. It is recommended to test the cut.
The following adjustments are recommended:
•
Position 0: Metals; pressed or curved materials.
• Position 1: Plastics and plywood.
• Position 2 or 3: Tender wood and panels of masonry such as plasterboards.
Starting
Before connecting the battery, check the assembly of the blade and the base of the
support carefully. Also check the operation of the On/Off switch: it must return freely to the
off position as soon as it is released. To start the jigsaw, press initially on the safety button
on the left side of the handle, then on the On/Off switch. To stop, release the switch.
Using recommendation
After starting the saw, wait until it reaches its normal mode, then place the base of support
on the part to be cut out, and push the saw forwards gradually. It is advised to trace a line
where you want to cut in order to obtain a straight cut. In the case of curved cuts, adopt a
slower speed of cutting.
The saw is provided with a dust extractor entry. For your health, we recommend you to
connect a system of aspiration to it. That will also make it possible to release the line of
cut during work.
While working, firmly put the base of support of the saw on the part to be cut
out in order to avoid rupturing
the blade.
