OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book
carefully.
Intended Use
The machine is intended for sawing wood, plastic, metal and
building materials while resting firmly on the workpiece. It is
suitable for straight and curved cuts with bevel angles to 45°.
The saw blade recommendations are to be observed.
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool. (See Fig. A)
2. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON
Depress on/off switch (2) then lock-on button (3) (See Fig. B),
release on/off switch first then lock-on button second. Your
switch is now locked on for continuous use. To switch off
your tool just depress and release on/off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or decrease the speed
(See Fig. C) 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.

4. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst operating your
jigsaw.
5. HEX KEY STORAGE
The hex key (5) is placed at the power cable sheath (See
Fig. D).
6. BLADE FITTING (See Fig. E)
NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
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 self rotate 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 blade guide. To remove a blade,
holds the blade and rotate the blade holder ring clockwise
then lift out the blade (blade could be spring ejected).
NOTE: For best cutting results, ensure that you use a
blade suited to the material and cut quality you need.
WARNING: Blade teeth are very sharp.
●
When the holder is rotated, the blade will be ejected.
●
Aim the machine so that the blade is ejected away from
yourself and other people.
7. ROLLER GUIDE (See Fig. F)
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the groove
(See Fig. F) 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.

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 direc-
tion of the wood grain.
9. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (7) 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
Use a hex key (5). Loosen the bolts securing the base plate
(SEE FIG. H). For preset angles rotate so the lines of the angle
on the base plate and angle plate (8) superposition at the
desired angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°) (SEE FIG. I). 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.
