•
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches full
speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along the cutting
line. Only exert gentle pressure on the saw blade as you
do so.
To switch off:
Release the locking button (2) and ON/OFF switch (3)
•
If you release the ON/OFF switch (3) the equipment will
shut down automatically which means that it cannot
operate accidentally.
•
Ensure that you do not cover or block the ventilation
openings whilst working with the tool.
•
Do not slow down the saw blade after you switch it off by
pressing it sideways.
•
Important! Do not put down the machine until the saw
blade has reached a complete standstill.
Important. Carry out a trial cut in a piece of waste wood
6.6.2 Setting the pendulum action (Fig. 1/Item 8)
•
The strength of the pendulum action of the saw blade
(12) can be adjusted using the selector switch for
pendulum action (8).
•
You can adjust the cutting speed, the cutting
performance and the finish to the workpiece you wish
to saw.
Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to one of the
following positions:
Position 0:
No pendulum action
Material:
Rubber, ceramic, aluminium, steel
Please note:
For fine and clean cuts, thin materials (e.g. sheet
steel) and hard materials.
Position 1:
Small pendulum action
Material:
Plastic, wood, aluminium
Please note:
For hard materials
Position 2:
Large pendulum action
Material:
Wood
Please note:
For soft materials and sawing along the grain
The best combination of speed and pendulum action
depends on the material you wish to saw. We recommend to
make a trial cut on a waste piece in order to check the ideal
settings.
6.6.3 Using the laser (Fig. 1/Item 16)
•
The laser (16) enables you to make precision cuts with
your jigsaw.
•
The laser light is generated by a laser diode. The laser light
is enlarged to form a line and is emitted through the laser
emission aperture. You can then use the line as an optical
marker for the sawing line for precision cuts. Follow the
laser safety instructions.
•
The laser (16) switches on automatically when the On/Off
switch (3) is pressed.
6.6.4 Making cuts
•
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (3) is not depressed. Only
then should you insert the battery pack.
•
Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have fitted a saw
blade.
•
Use only saw blades that are in perfect condition. Replace
blunt, bent or cracked saw blades immediately.
•
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish to saw.
Switch on the jigsaw.
•
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches full
speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along the cutting
line. Only exert gentle pressure on the saw blade as you
do so.
•
When cutting metal, apply a suitable coolant along the
line you wish to cut.
6.6.5 Sawing out sections (Fig. 7)
Drill a 10 mm hole in the section you wish to saw out. Insert
the saw blade into this hole and start to saw out the required
section.
6.6.6 Making parallel cuts
•
Mount the parallel stop and adjust as required (see
section 5.4).
•
Observe the instructions in section 6.4.
•
Cut as shown in Figure 8.
6.6.7 Making miter cuts
•
Set the angle on the soleplate (see section 5.5).
•
Observe the instructions in section 6.4.
•
Cut as shown in Fig. 9.
6.7. CLEANING, MAINTENANCE
AND ORDERING OF SPARE
PARTS
Always remove the battery pack before starting any cleaning
work!
6.7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing
free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed
air at low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device immediately
each time you have finished using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents;
these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment.
Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
6.7.2 Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require
additional maintenance.
