OPERATING YOUR JIGSAW
To switch your jigsaw on, fully squeeze the on/off
trigger switch (1). To switch your jigsaw off, release
the trigger switch (1). When plugging your jigsaw in,
ensure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
When continuous operation is required, squeeze the
trigger and depress the lock on button (2) and release
the trigger. To disengage the lock, squeeze and release
the trigger. Always disengage the lock before
disconnecting from the power supply.
SAW SHOE ADJUSTMENT FOR ANGULAR CUTTING
The shoe plate (5) can be angled up to 45˚ on either side.
To do this, disconnect your jigsaw from the power supply.
Raise the dust shroud (3)
and loosen both screws on
the shoe plate with a
screwdriver. Pull the shoe
plate backward a little, and
set the desired angular
adjustment according to the
scale or push the shoe plate
forward for fixed locks at 0˚,
15˚, 30˚, or 45˚. Tighten the
screws to secure. Although
the scale and notches are
accurate for most purposes
it is advisable for very
accurate angle cutting to use a protractor to set the
shoe. Make a test cut on some scrap material to check
the accuracy of the angle. To reset the shoe for a
square cut, slacken the clamp screws and move the
shoe until it is approximately 90˚ to the blade, and then,
whilst applying slight forward pressure on the shoe,
retighten the clamp screws.
DUST EXTRACTION
Your jigsaw with a hose adapter (accessory part), can
be fitted to most portable vacuum cleaners.
To utilise this facility push
adapter into the aperture at
the rear of jigsaw and fit
vacuum hose in or over the
adapter, depending on the
hose size. The dust shroud
should be in a downwards position.
HANDY HINTS
Cutting laminates
The blades of your jigsaw cut on the upstroke so any
tendency for edge splintering will occur on the face of
the material nearest the saw shoe. When sawing thin
wood or plastic laminates, use a fine tooth metal
cutting blade and cut from the back surface of the
material. To minimise the risk of chipping the edges of
plastic laminate, clamp a piece of scrap wood
or hardboard to both sides of the laminate to form a
sandwich, and saw through the complete assembly.
Always select the right blade for the job.
Pocket cutting
The saw blade can be inserted directly into a wood
surface without first drilling a pilot hole, thus
eliminating a drilling operation.
First measure and clearly mark the surface to be cut.
Then tip your jigsaw forward so that the rounded tips of
the shoe rest on the work surface but with the blade
well clear of it. Switch your jigsaw on and move the
saw down until the moving blade is exactly over the
chosen point of entry. Lower the rear of the shoe down
towards the work slowly, maintaining a firm pivoting
pressure on the shoe tips with the blade exactly on the
required line. Do not move your jigsaw forward along
the cut line until the saw blade has completely
entered the material and the shoe comes to rest flat
on its surface.
Cutting metal
Your jigsaw can be used for cutting light gauge ferrous
sheet and non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass,
aluminium, etc. It is advisable when cutting thin sheet
to clamp a backing sheet of soft wood or plywood to
the work as this will enable you to obtain a clean cut
without vibration and the possibility of tearing the
metal. Both metal and wood backing are sawn
together. Do not force the cutting blade into the metal
as this will reduce the life of the blade and possibly
damage the motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer
than cutting even a relatively thick piece of wood, so
do not be tempted to speed up the operation by
forcing the saw. Spread a thin film of oil along the
proposed cutting line before commencing to saw
metal. Always select the right blade for the job.
Cleaning
Disconnect your jigsaw from the power supply. Use
only mild soap and a slightly damp cloth to clean
your jigsaw. Many household cleaners contain
chemicals which could seriously damage the
plastic. Also, do not use petrol, turpentine, lacquer
or paint thinners or similar products. Never let any
liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part
of your jigsaw into liquid.
