(Original instructions)
To reset the shoe plate (4) for 90° cuts:
• Loosen the screws. (10).
• Pull the shoe (4) forward, rotate to the
centre and push it back into the 0°
location.
• Tighten the screws.
Variable speed control (KS701E and
KS701PE only)
• Use a high speed for wood, medium
speed for aluminium and PVC and low
speed for metals other than aluminium.
Switching on and off
• To switch the tool on, press the variable
speed switch (KS701E and KS701PE) or
the On/Off switch (KS501) (1). On
KS701E and KS107PE units the speed
depends on how far you depress the
switch.
• For continuous operation, press the
lock-on button (2) and press the variable
speed switch. This option is available
only at full speed.
• To switch the tool off, release the
variable speed switch. To switch the tool
off, when in continuous operation, press
the variable speed or On/Off switch once
more and release it.
How to Use the Sightline® Feature (fig. D)
• Use a pencil to mark the cutting line.
• Position the jig saw over the line (11).
Viewing from directly above the jig saw,
the line of cut can be followed easily.
Cutting mode (KS701PE only)
Pendulum stroke or action provides a more
aggressive blade motion and is designed for
cutting soft materials such as wood or
plastic. It provides a faster cut, but with a
less smooth cut across the material. Your jig
saw has a Pendulum Stroke dial. Use of this
dial is explained in the next section.
Note:
Never use pendulum action to cut
metal.
Pendulum Stroke dial
(fig. E - KS701PE only)
The KS701PE has these four cutting modes
with increasing amounts of pendulum action:
• Position 0: metal and aluminium and
sheet metal (no pendulum action).
• Position 1: for laminates, hard wood, work
tops.
• Position 2: for plywood and PVC/Plastics.
• Position 3: for soft wood and fast cutting
To adjust the pendulum action:
• Rotate the Pendulum Stroke selector (6)
to the required position.
Sawing
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while
cutting. The shoe plate (4) should be held
firmly against the material being cut. This
will help prevent the saw from jumping,
reduce vibration and minimise blade
breakage.
• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds
before starting the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
while performing the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may
occur which can damage the presentation
surface. The most common saw blades cut
on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe
plate is sitting on the presentation surface
either use a saw blade that cuts on the
downward stroke or:
• Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
• Saw from the back surface of the
workpiece.
• To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of
scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of
the workpiece and saw through this
sandwich.
