ENGLISH
To reset the shoe for straight cuts:
Pull the shoe beveling lever (6) out and away from the
u
saw to unlock the shoe plate (5).
Rotate shoe to an angle of approximately 0° and then pull
u
shoe backwards to engage the 0° positive stop.
Push the shoe beveling lever back (6) towards the saw to
u
lock the shoe plate (5).
Cutting action (fig. F)
This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, three orbital
and one straight. Orbital action has a more aggressive blade
motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood
or plastic. Orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a less
smooth cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade
moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up
and down motion..
Warning! Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital
action.
Move the cutting action lever (8) between the four cutting
u
positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3..
Position 0 is straight cutting.
u
Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting.
u
The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever is
u
adjusted from one to three, with three being the most
aggressive cut.
Sawing
Always hold the tool with both hands.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
u
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
u
the cut.
If possible, work with the shoe plate (5) pressed against
u
the workpiece. This will improve tool control and reduce
tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from being
damaged.
Hints for optimum use
General
Use a high speed for wood, a medium speed for alu-
u
minium and PVC and a low speed for metals other than
aluminium.
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
u
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
u
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
u
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.

(Original instructions)
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a fine-
u
tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
u
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
