3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (SEE FIG. C)
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or decrease the speed
according to the material, material thickness and blade
specification to be used (also possible during no load
operation). See Chart 1 for general guidance on speed
selection.
Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as this may damage
your jigsaw’s motor.

Material Speed setting
Wood 5-6
Metal 3-4
Aluminum 3-5
PVC 3-4
Ceramic 3-5
4. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst operating
your jigsaw.
5. HEX KEY STORAGE (SEE FIG. D)
The hex key is placed at the power cable sheath.
6. BLADE FITTING (SEE FIG. E)
NOTE:
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. Wear
protective gloves when assembling the saw blade. Don’t
use other blade types.
INSERTING THE SAW BLADE
To open the blade holder rotate the ring clockwise (Jigsaw
upside down) and hold in position. Then fully insert the
blade into the blade holder slot with blade teeth facing
forward and release the ring, which will selfrotate and
clamp over the top of the blade. Push the blade into the
blade holder again to ensure it is locked in position. Ensure
the edge of the blade is located in the groove of the roller
guide.
REMOVING THE SAW BLADE
To remove a blade, hold the blade and rotate the blade
holder ring clockwise then lift out the blade (blade could be
spring ejected).
WARNING: Blade teeth are very sharp.
For best cutting results ensure you use a blade suited
to the material and cut quality you need.
7. ROLLER GUIDE (SEE FIG. F)
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the groove
otherwise the pendulum function will not work correctly and
the blade will not be supported during cutting.
8. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
(SEE FIG. G)
The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of
the blade for increased cutting efficiency. This can also be
adjusted during no load running. Refer to the chart 2 for
more details. Do not use excessive blade force when cutting
with the pendulum action. The blade cuts on the upward
stroke only.
Chart 2
0 Thin materials. Fine cuts. Tight curves.
I Hard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)
II Thick materials (e.g. wood) & plastic
III
Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in the
direction of the wood grain.
9. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate enables bevel cutting.
The base plate must always be held firmly against the
materials being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping
or blade breakage.
10. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
(SEE FIG. H&I)
Use a hex key. Loosen the bolts securing the base plate.
For preset angles rotate so the lines of the angle on the
base plate and angle plate superposition at the desired
angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°). For other mitre angles, rotate to
your desired angle (use a protractor scale). Following one
of the above procedures, hold the base plate in position
and firmly tighten the bolts to clamp the base plate at that
angle. Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate is
firmly clamped. The angle markings on the base plate are
accurate for most general purposes but it is recommended
for accurate work to set the angle with a protractor and
make a test cut on other material.
11. DUST TUBE (SEE FIG. J)
Mount the dust tube into the opening of the base plate.
Make sure that the plastic tip of the vacuum connection
engages into the corresponding opening on the housing as
shown in the figure.
12. FINGER PROTECTION
The finger protection is located in front of the blade holder.
Whilst working, it will help prevent accidental contact with
moving blade.
13. DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE
This is a small aperture located underneath the housing just
