HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst operating your jigsaw.
PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of the blade for
increased cutting efficiency. This can also be adjusted during no load
running. Refer to the chart 2 for more details. Do not use excessive
blade force when cutting with the pendulum action. The blade cuts on
the upward stroke only.

Thin materials. Fine cuts. Tight curves.

Hard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)
2
Thick materials (e.g. wood) & plastic
3
Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in the direction of the wood grain.
BLADE FITTING
You can only use the Bayonet type of blade (12) shown in the main
diagram. To open the blade holder rotate the ring anti-clockwise
(jigsaw upside down) and hold in position (See E). Then fully insert the
blade into the blade holder slot with blade teeth facing forward and
release the ring, which will self rotate and clamp over the top of the
blade. Push the blade into the blade holder again to ensure it is locked
in position. Ensure the edge of the blade is located in the groove of the
blade guide (See D). To remove a blade, hold the blade and rotate the
blade holder ring anti-clockwise then lift out the blade (blade could be
spring ejected).
Warning: Blade teeth are very sharp.
For best cutting results
ensure you use a blade suited to the material and cut quality you need.

Operating instructions
Note:
Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool.
SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON
Depress on/off switch (1) then lock-on button (2) (See B), release on/
off switch first then lock-on button second. Your switch is now locked
on for continuous use. To switch off your tool just depress and release
on/off switch.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or decrease the speed (See C)
according to the material, material thickness and blade specification
to be used (also possible during no load operation). See Chart 1 for
general guidance on speed selection. Avoid prolonged use at very low
speed as this may damage your jigsaw’s motor.
