Before Use

Fitting a blade
• Always check that a suitable blade is selected for the job that is to be
done (refer to the blade manufacturers information before use)
• Only fit blades that are in perfect condition. Blunt, bent and cracked
blades should be discarded
• Invert the jigsaw, lift up the Guard (10)
• Pull forward the Blade Lock Lever (9) and insert the blade, so that it rests
against the guide roller
Note: ALWAYS apply a lubricant between the blade and the roller, if you plan
on cutting metal or other hard materials.
• Release the Blade Locking Lever (9) and pull firmly on the blade to make
sure it is secure
Connecting the dust extraction system
• This jigsaw is equipped with a Dust Extraction Port (4). Connecting the
tool to a vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system is the
preferred method of dust extraction
• If vacuum dust extraction is unavailable, you must fit a generic dust bag
(not included)
WARNING: Take special care when cutting some woods (such as beech,
oak, mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause
extreme reactions. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection.
WARNING: DO NOT use a dust bag when cutting metal. Hot metal particles
and sparks could ignite residual wood dust, or cause the bag to catch fire.
Always connect the jigsaw to a workshop dust extraction system when
cutting metal. Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when switching from
cutting wood to sanding metal, and vice versa.
Setting pendulum action
• This jigsaw features a pendulum cutting function. Pendulum action
enables more efficient cutting
1. For fast cutting and thick material, set the Pendulum Action Selector
(6) to a high number
2. For fine cutting and thin material, set the Pendulum Action Selector (6)
to a low number
Note: Practice using different pendulum settings to achieve the best finish
for your material.
Setting bevel angle
• This jigsaw is equipped with a tilting Shoe (5). This allows bevel cuts to
be made up to 45° to the left or right hand side
1. To alter the angle of the shoe, invert the jigsaw and loosen the Bevel
Locking Screws (11) with the Hex Key (14). The shoe is now free to
pivot
2. Adjust the shoe to the required angle and then tighten the Bevel
Locking Screws
Note: Ensure that the shoe is secured firmly in position prior to use.
Setting cutting speed
• To alter the cutting speed, rotate the Speed Control Dial (1). A high
number indicates a high cutting speed
• Always set the machine speed to suit the material being cut
• For soft materials use a high cutting speed
• For hard materials use a low cutting speed. If cutting metal, use a
suitable coolant/cutting fluid
Operation
WARNING: Always wear eye protection, an adequate dust mask, hearing
protection and suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Note: Before you use your jigsaw, it is recommended that you practice
on scrap material. The settings of the machine are crucial to achieving a
good quality finish, and your work could easily be damaged by using an
incorrect setting.
Handling your jigsaw
• Ensure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where
appropriate
• Always ensure that the On/Off Trigger Switch (2) and Lock-On Button (3)
are NOT engaged before connecting the saw to the power supply
• Always hold the jigsaw securely using the handle provided. Keep hands
well away from all moving parts
• For some tasks it may be preferable to lock the machine in the 'on'
position. To do this, squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (2) and depress
the Lock-On Button (3). The machine will now continue to run until the
trigger switch is squeezed and released
WARNING: Allow the motor and blade to come to a complete stop before
placing the machine down. Always unplug the machine if it is to be left
unattended.
Using the LASER light
WARNING: DO NOT look directly into the beam. Never direct the beam
towards other people. The beam should only be aimed towards solid, non-
reflective, materials. DO NOT switch the laser on until the saw is positioned
against the workpiece
1. To switch on the laser press the Laser Switch (11)
Note: The laser line indicates the line of cut that will be made if the saw is
moved forward in a straight line.
2. To switch the laser off, press the Laser Switch (11) again
Making a cut
Note: Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool requires
eye protection, gloves, ear defenders, and good quality respiratory
protection.
1. Hold the jigsaw securely and rest the front edge of the Shoe (5) on the
edge of the workpiece
2. If starting a cut away from the edge of the workpiece, drill a pilot hole
large enough for the blade to pass through, where you wish to start
the cut
3. Check that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece, or any other
object
4. Start the machine by pressing the On/Off Trigger Switch (2)
5. Allow the motor to reach full speed, and smoothly push the jigsaw
forwards across the workpiece
6. Maintain a steady movement, and ensure that the Shoe (5) is kept
pressed against the work. Ensure that the power lead is kept well
away from the front of the saw as the cut is made
7. Allow the blade to pass through the material, then release the
trigger switch. Alternatively, if the cut does not reach the edge of the
workpiece, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to stop
moving before lifting out of the cut
8. Do not place the machine down until the motor and blade have
completely stopped
Using the parallel guide fence
• When working parallel to an edge, use the Parallel Guide Fence (13)
• The guide fence locates in the front of the Shoe (5) and is secured by
tightening the Guide Locking Screws (8) with the Hex Key (14)
• To follow an edge, simply make a cut, whilst keeping the vertical foot of
the guide fence pressed against the edge to be followed
Metal cutting
• Always use a suitable coolant/cutting oil when cutting metal. Failure to do
so will cause significant blade wear
• A continuous line of grease can be applied to the underneath of the
workpiece, instead of applying a a coolant from above
• Apply lubricant or cutting oil between the blade and roller when cutting
metal or other hard materials. Failure to do so will shorten the service life
of your blade and roller
