5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Safety guard (Fig. 1/Item 8)
The safety guard (8) protects the user from
accidentally touching the saw blade (12) and
nevertheless enables you a free view of the
cutting area.
5.2 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 2/Item 12)
Important!
Pull the mains plug before you fit or replace a saw
blade.
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
Undo the screws (a) on the blade holder (6) using
the supplied Allen key.
Insert the saw blade (12) into the guide groove (b)
of the blade holder (6) as far as the stop.
Tighten the screws (a) with the supplied Allen
key.
The teeth on the saw blade must be pointing in
the direction of cutting. Check that the saw blade
is positioned in the guide groove (b) of the blade
holder (6) and the roller.
Check that the saw blade (12) is securely
mounted in the blade holder.
Follow the instructions above in reverse order to
remove the saw blade.
5.3 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Figs. 3-4)
Use the Allen key (4) to loosen the screws for the
soleplate (11) on the bottom of the adjustable
soleplate (7) (Figure 3).
Pull the soleplate (7) slightly forward. The
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum 45° to
the left and right.
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the rear
again it will only function in the locking position at
0°, which is marked on the graduated scale for
the soleplate (9) (Figure 4).
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, move the soleplate (7)
forwards, set the desired angle and refasten the
screw securing the soleplate (11).
5.4 Dust extraction
The dust extraction system prevents the
accumulation of dirt and high dust loads in the air,
and it makes it easier to dispose of the dust.

6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 5/Item 1)
You can pre-select the required speed with the speed
selector. Turn the speed selector in PLUS director to
increase the speed and turn the speed selector in
MINUS direction to reduce the speed. The suitable
stroke speed is dependent on the relevant material
and working conditions.
General rules for cutting speeds for metal cutting
work must be complied with here as well.
You can generally use a higher speed with fine saw
blades whilst coarser saw blades require lower
speeds.
low stroke speed (for steel)
medium stroke speed (for steel, soft metal,
plastic)
high stroke speed (for softwood, hardwood, soft
metal, plastic)
6.4 Making cuts
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (3) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have fitted a
saw blade.
Use only saw blades that are in perfect condition.
Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw blades
immediately.
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish
to saw. Switch on the jigsaw.
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches
full speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along
the cutting line. Only exert gentle pressure on the
saw blade as you do so.
When cutting metal, apply a suitable coolant
along the line you wish to cut.
