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. Turn the jigsaw upside
down and lift the shoe
lock (11) to the vertical
position.
2. Turn the shoe lock anti-
clockwise until it is loose
enough to allow the shoe
to be moved forward and
to be tilted. The shoe can
be tilted to set positions at
45˚ each way and at 0˚. It can also be tilted to other
angles between the set positions using the scale
located on the base, close to the pendulum lever (16),
to judge the angle of cut. For accurate work, it is
necessary to make a trial cut, measure the work and
reset the angle until the correct cut is achieved.
3. Retighten the shoe lock (11) clockwise and press the
lever flat against the jigsaw base.
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 (12) 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.
1. The electronic speed control
dial (17) is used to programme
the speed of the blade.
2. The speed should be adapted
to the material being cut.
3. Use your thumb to turn the
dial forward to increase the speed
and backward to decrease it.
