Double insulation

To ensure maximum safety of the user, our tools are designed and built 

to satisfy applicable European standards (EN standards). Tools with 

double insulation are marked by the international symbol of a double 

square. These tools must not be grounded and a two-wire cable is suf-

ficient to supply them with power. Tools are shielded in accordance with 

EN 55014.

Scope of Use

The jig saws are designed and intended for shaped and direct cutting 

of wood, plastics, steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminium and ceramics. 

They are suitable for straight and arc cuts under the angle of ±45°. Use 

the saw blades recommended by the manufacturer for the operations 

above.
The user is responsible for improper use.

Saw Blade Clamping and Removal

Attention! Risk of el. shock. Prior to start any operation, 

pull the plug out of the socket!

To clamp the saw blade (3), tilt the clamping lever (1) fully by one hand 

and insert the saw blade (3) by the second hand as far as the stop of the 

saw blade clamp (2). Then release the clamping lever (1) and move it to 

the initial position. (The clamping lever is equipped by a spring ensuring 

its tilting towards the jig saw body).
To remove the saw blade (3), tilt the clamping lever (1) fully by one hand 

and remove the saw blade (3) by the second hand (3) out of the saw 

blade clamp (2). If a new saw blade is not inserted, release the clamping 

lever and move it back to the initial position.

Saw blade guide setting (4)

For better guidance of the saw blade (3) the jig saw is equipped by the 

additional hard metal guide (4) mounted immediately above the work-

piece.
Using the Allen key (internal part of the scope of delivery), screw or un-

screw the additional guide set screw (5) until the guide jaws (4) nearly 

rest against the saw blade (3).
The saw blade clearance must guarantee its easy movement!

Splinter Guard

The splinted guard  (6) allows cuts with splinter-free edges even on 

the side of the cut material which the saw blade base runner (7) leans 

against (except special saw blades with inverse saw teeth).

Attention! Risk of injury in case of unwanted start of the 

tool. Prior to start any operation, pull the plug out of the 

socket!

‰

Insert the splinter guard (6) into the base runner pad (8) and push it 

as far as the saw blade. 

Attention, the locking nose (9) in the side 

groove of the splinter guard (6) must be up with respect to the 

position of the jig saw base runner (7).

‰

Set the pendulum stroke (see the chapter “Pendulum Stroke Set-

ting”) to position 1 or 2.

‰

Start the jig saw (see the chapter “Putting into Operation”).
