The harder the material to be cut is the
smaller the pendulum stroke can be and the
softer the material is the larger the pendu-
lum stroke should be set.
NOTE: Because of the additional vertical
movement, the cutting edges will be torn
out more as if working without pendulum.
The surface coatings of wood plate espe-
cially tend to fray because of their refractory
structure when working with additional
pendulum.
Making bevel cuts
7.5
You can make bevel cuts to 45° with this
saw if you angle the base plate.
a. First, loosen the two internal allen
screws (15) which can be seen in the
central opening of the base plate by
using the included Allen key (5).
b. After loosening, push the base plate
slightly back until the metal teeth in the
housing disengages from the base
plate.
c. Now you can adjust the base plate to
the angle desired.
d. Fix it in that position by pushing forward
and tightening the internal hex head
screws.
Dust extraction
7.6
Make sure the switch (13) for dust collec-
tion resp. dust blowing function is in the
position for dust collection.
Dust collection
Dust blowing Function
The jig saw can be connected to a dust
extractor or a vacuum cleaner with the
included adaptor pipe. Insert the adapter
into the saw. Always use a dust removal, if
possible, or at least a dust mask for your
own safety. To keep the cutting line clear of
chips, place the suction/blowing function
switch (13) in the direction of "blowing". The
airflow keeps the cutting line clean.
Parallel guide
7.7
Use the parallel guide (14) delivered for a
cutting guide parallel to a wood edge.
a. To install the parallel bar, slide it through
the mounting latches (9) in the base
plate. With the centimetre scale on the
guide bar you can precisely set the
distance between the edge and the saw
blade.
b. With the screws in the base plate the
guide bar can now be secured.
Saw blade types
7.8
Use only T-shank jig saw blades.
8. Cleaning and maintenance
• Remove the battery before undertaking
any cleaning or maintenance work.
• Do not use aggressive chemicals which
may dissolve plastic parts, or abrasives.
• After every use clean the unit of wood
dusts with a hand brush or a cloth. You
must particularly clean regularly the air
exhaust of the motor. The motor can
overheat if the ventilation slots are
closed.
• Maintenance and repair work can only be
done by a qualified technician.
• Always store the unit in a dry place that
is protected from dust and dirt.
