Operating the laser (fig. I - L)
(KS900EL unit only)
Installing the batteries (fig. I)
Detach the laser module (17) from the jigsaw by
removing the screw (16) and pulling the laser
module forward. Insert two new 1.5 Volt AAA
alkaline batteries, making sure to match the (+)
and (-) terminals correctly. Re-attach the laser
module (17).
Adjusting the laser side-to-side
(fig. J)
Note: The laser is intended as a cutting aid and
does not guarantee a precise cut.
Warning! Do not adjust the laser with the jigsaw
plugged in.
•
Use the laser adjustment screw (18) to align
the laser line with the saw blade if needed.
The laser visibility (power) will be reduced if the
jigsaw is overheated. The laser may not be
visible when the saw is overloaded for a
prolonged period of time. The laser visibility will
gradually return to normal when the tool cools
down even when the tool is unplugged.
Warning! Do not leave the overheated laser
switched ON.
Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position
and remove the batteries to remove power from
the laser.
Using the laser (fig. K - L)
The laser projects the line of cut (21) on to the
surface of the workpiece.
•
To switch the laser on, press the button (19).
•
To switch the laser off, press the button (19)
again.
Viewing from directly above the jigsaw, the line of
cut (21) can be easily followed. Should this view
be restricted for any reason, the laser can be
used as an alternative cutting guide.
•
Use a pencil to mark the cutting line (20).
•
Position the jigsaw over the line (20).
•
Switch on the laser.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur
which can damage the presentation surface. The
most common saw blades cut on the upward
stroke, therefore if the shoe plate is sitting on the
presentation surface either use a saw blade that
cuts on the downward stroke or:
•
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
•
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
•
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of
scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the
workpiece and saw through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more
time than sawing wood.
•
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
•
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece
of scrap wood to the back surface of the
workpiece and cut through this sandwich.
•
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of
cut.
