KRESS 500 ST E Mode D'emploi page 21

Operation
Pendulum stroke setting (500 ST E)
The change-over from setting 0 to II is effected by
means of the pendulum-stroke adjusting knob 14.
The coloured mark indicates the pendulum stroke
setting selected.
0 No orbital action
for glass, ceramics, soft steel, non-
ferrous
pressed materials.
I Small orbital action
for plastics for plywood.
II Large orbital action
for hardwood, soft wood, chipboard.
It should be noted that the values given are stand-
ard values which may vary according to thickness
and hardness of material, grain direction, and also
to the condition of the saw blade.
The optimal orbital action setting for the respec-
tive application can be determined through practi-
cal testing. The following recommendations apply:
Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch
it off) for a finer and cleaner cutting edge.
For thin materials such as sheet metal, switch
the orbital action off.
For hard materials such as steel, work with
low orbital action.
For soft materials and when sawing in the di-
rection of the grain, work with maximum orbit-
al action.
Mitre cuts
The base plate can be adjusted in both directions
by 22.5° and 45°. 0°, 22.5° and 45° angles can be
fixed securely. Adjustments are made by loosen-
ing the clamping wheel 6 beneath the handle. As
soon as the toothed wheel work of the saw bench
mounting is released, the base plate 4 can be
turned to positions 22.5° or 45° and be tightened
again with the clamping wheel 6.
Chip-flyoff guard
The splinter guard 10 can prevent fraying of the
surface while sawing wood.
This application can only be used when cutting at
a right angle (90°).
Press the splinter guard 10 from below into
the base plate 4 shown in the figure).
metals, aluminium
Dust extractor
The jigsaw is equipped to be connected to a com-
merically available vacuum cleaner.
In order to keep the cut free of shavings, the
flexible suction tube is inserted from the back
into the housing opening 9.
The dust hood 3 is to be pushed downwards
and
until it locks into place.
In the case of mitre cuts, the dust hood is to
be pushed upwards.
Changing the tool
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
prevent accidental start of the power
tool.
Wear safety gloves for tool chang-
ing.
The tool insert can become very hot
after working for long periods and/or
the cutting edges of the tool insert
are sharp.
The advantage of the clamping system is that saw
blades can be changed without tools.
The protection roller, which prevents the saw
blade from moving and serves to unburden the
mechanical parts (tappet), automatically produces
a clamping angle of 90° as a positive stop. Natu-
rally, this only applies when original saw blades
are used.
Inserting the Saw Blade „B"
First push the dust hood 3 up.
Rotate clamping lever 8 as far as it will go and
hold in place.
Insert saw blade 7 as far as it will go.
Release clamping lever 8.
-WARNING-
Press jigsaw against saw blade tip on wooden
board, until clamping lever 8 springs back to its
starting position.
It is only by doing this that the secure clamping of
the saw blade 7 can be ensured and the hood 3
can be closed.
