10. Startup
Take note of the line voltage. The voltage of
the power source must match the informa-
tion on the type label on the machine.
220 V~ – 240 V~ can also be operated with
230 V~ units.
• Before switching on of the jig saw, the
front of the base plate (8) must lie flat
on the workpiece. Make sure that the
base plate rests securely on the entire
surface.
• Always hold the jig saw firmly with both
hands. Make sure that the saw blade is
not in contact with the workpiece before
the jig saw is turned on.
• Make sure that the saw blade has com-
pletely stopped before removing the jig
saw from the workpiece.
11. Stroke rate selection
You can adjust the stroke rate with the
stroke rate controller (1). The required
stroke rate of the saw blade is dependent on
the material and the saw blade used, and
should be determined by practical tests.
