Operating Instructions
The BLAUPUNKT 18v Li-Ion Jig Saw features a variable speed motor that delivers 2,500 SPM for best performance on various
applications. This saw can make bevel cuts of up to 45 degrees and the 3-position orbital operation allows for aggressive cutting
whether you are cutting wood, metal or plastic.
• Always remove the battery before installing or removing a blade or adjusting the jigsaw in any way.
• Selecting the correct type of blade is important in order to obtain the best performance from the saw. Select the correct blade
for the material you wish to cut. Selecting the right blade will give you a smoother, faster cut and prolong the life of the blade.
The tool-less blade changing system eliminates the need for tools when installing or changing a blade.
Fitting A Blade
Before attaching a blade please ensure that the battery is not connected to the jigsaw.
• To fit the blade, push the quick change blade clamp lever until it stops.
• Holding the blade clamp lever in the open position, insert the saw blade as far as possible into the slot in the saw bar.
• Check to make sure the back of the saw blade is centred in the groove of the roller guide.
• Release the blade clamp lever. Make sure the blade is securely in place.
NOTE: During use periodically check the security of the blade.
Angle Cutting (Bevel Cutting)
• o set the cutting angle to one of the pre-set angles 15, 30 or 45 degrees.
• Loosen the two hexagon screws located on the underside of the machine using the hexagon key provided.
• Slightly raise the base until the base can be moved to one of the present cutting angles shown on the angle scale. Finally
re-tighten the hex screws.
Orbital Motion
The blade of the jigsaw cuts in an orbital motion. This feature is adjustable and provides faster, more efficient cutting.
With orbital motion the blade cuts through your work in the upstroke but does not drag across your work in the down stroke. The
higher settings should be used when fast cutting in soft material is desired. The lower setting should be used when cutting
materials with more resistance. The ‘0’ setting shuts off the orbital motion. Setting ‘3’ offers the maximum orbital motion.
Led Work Light
Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly. Press the On/Off trigger to light up the LED light. The LED light will remain
on while the trigger is being pulled. The LED light goes off automatically once the tool trigger is released.
Variable Speed Control
Simply apply light pressure to the On/Off trigger to start the jigsaw on a slow speed. Increasing the pressure on the trigger will
increase the speed of the jigsaw.
NOTE: You may hear a high pitched noise from the On/Off trigger during use. Do not be concerned, this is a normal part of the
trigger function.
Trigger Switch And Lock-O Button
To turn the jigsaw ON, depress the lock-off safety button and then depress the On/Off trigger. Release the On/Off trigger to turn the
jigsaw off.
Forward/Rear Air Outlet
The forward air outlet can be used to either blow debris from the blade during operation or send the air to the dust extraction
outlet. To select air to be blown towards the blade, slide the switch to the right. To select air to be blown towards the dust extraction
outlet, slide the switch to the left.
