4. Position “1” denotes the lowest speed. Position “6”
denotes the highest speed.
Making a cut
1. Switch on the jigsaw and allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
2. Slowly guide the jigsaw forward using both hands,
keeping the shoe plate flat against the work piece.
3. Do not force the jigsaw.
Note.
Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting.
Do not force the cutting, allow the blade and the saw to
do the work.
Pendulum adjustment
1. A pendulum roller moves
back and forth to make the
blade swing slightly from
side to side as it cuts.
2. Pendulum action increases
the speed of cut but may
result in a rougher finish to
the cut in some materials.
3. Set the pendulum lever (16)
to one of the settings according to degree of pendulum
action required.
4. Experiment on a piece of scrap material to determine
the optimum pendulum action setting.
Pocket & round cutting
1. When starting a cut from the centre of a work piece,
drill a 12mm diameter hole to ensure that there is
clearance for the blade.
2. When cutting tight curves, reduce the speed of the saw.
Warning.
Do not move the saw forward along its cut until
the blade has completely entered the material and the
shoe comes to rest on its surface.
Cutting metal
1. When cutting metals, a suitable cooling/cutting oil
must be used.
2. Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or work piece at
regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear
on the blade.
Fitting the straight guide
1. Push the guide (15) into the slot in the shoe plate
(10) to the approximate required position.
2. Place the short locking bar (a) on the guide and secure
it finger-tight with screw (b). The screw fits point first
through the hole in the shoe plate.
3. Position the guide
precisely where required
and tighten the screw.
