Operating instructions for the
electronic jigsaw
STARTING UP
Instant response operation (Figure 2)
Switching on: Press the On/Off switch
Switching off: Release the On/Off switch
Continuous operation
Switching on: Press the On/Off switch, keep pres
sed and lock with the locking button
Switching off: Press the On/Off switch and release
Electronic speed control setting (Figure 3)
Using the knurled screw on the On/Off switch you
can pre-set any speed. Turn the knurled screw in
PLUS direction for a higher speed and turn it in
MINUS direction for a lower speed. The ideal cutting
rate depends on the specific material and working
conditions.
The general rules for tool speed in cutting operations
apply.
Changing the saw blade (Figure 1)
Switch off the jigsaw and remove the plug from the
power socket before changing the blade or carrying
out any other work on the jigsaw.
Use the supplied hexagon-socket spanner to undo
the two screws on the ram (Figure 2). Slide the saw
blade into the guide slot and up to the stop between
the piston rod and the retention clip. Use the
supplied hexagon-socket spanner to tighten the two
screws. The teeth of the saw blade must face in
cutting direction. Make sure that the saw blade sits
properly in the guide slot of the ram and roller.
Adjusting the base
(for mitering and sawing near edges, Figure 4)
For mitre and bevel cuts you can swivel the base by
up to 45° in either direction after undoing the two
screws on the bottom. The angles 15°, 30° and 45°
are marked but you can adjust the saw to any angle
between these markings as required.
To adjust the cutting angle, undo the two screws
(Figure 4) until you can just about move the blade.
Adjust to the required angle and re-tighten the two
screws.
To enable you to saw right up to the edge, the base
can be pushed backward. To do so, undo the two
screws underneath (Figure 4) and push the base to
the back. Re-tighten the two screws.
Dust extraction
The jigsaw is equipped with a dust extractor socket.
Any vacuum cleaner can be connected to the socket
at the rear of the jigsaw. If you require a special
adapter, please contact the manufacturer of your
vacuum cleaner.
