Adjusting the shoe for angular cutting
Caution.
Always ensure that the jigsaw is switched off
and plug is removed from the power point before making
any adjustments.
1. Loosen the 2 hex screws
located on the underside
of the tool using the hex
key provided.
2. Move the shoe plate (10)
backwards and tilt it to
the required angle between
0 and 45° using the scale
marked on the base. For
accurate work it is
necessary to make a trial cut, measure the work and
reset the angle until the correct setting is achieved.
3. Slide the shoe plate (10) until the guide roller (12)
rests against the back edge of the blade.
4. Retighten the 2 hex screws.
Caution.
The blade roller guide supports the blade when
cutting and must at all times rest against the back edge
of the blade. It should rotate freely.
Dust extraction
1. To improve dust extraction from the working area,
connect dust extraction equipment to the dust
extraction outlet (9) at the rear of the tool.
2. The vacuum adapter
supplied can be used to
connect an ordinary
household vacuum cleaner
to the tool.
3. The vacuum extraction
system works most
effectively when the safety
guard (11) is in the down
position.
Switching on and off
1. Connect the plug to the
power point.
2. Start the tool by squeezing
the on/off trigger switch
(6).
3. Release the trigger to stop
the tool.
4. If you press the lock on
button (7) while the trigger
switch is depressed, the
switch is kept in the
operating position.
5. To release the lock on
button, press and release
the trigger switch.
Caution.
Allow the blade to
come to a complete standstill
before setting the jigsaw down.
Adjusting the cutting speed
The variable speed feature of this jigsaw enhances the
cutting performance and saves the blade from undue
wear.
