3.1 Product overview
3.2 Intended use
The product described is a hand-held, electrically powered orbital-action jig saw. It is designed for cutting
plastic, wood and metal materials, drywall board and gypsum fiberboard.
The product is equipped with a removable connector for an optional vacuum cleaner / dust removal hose.
This connector is designed to fit standard suction hoses. In order to connect the suction hose to the product,
use of a suitable adapter may be necessary.
The tool may be operated only when connected to a power source providing a voltage and frequency in
compliance with the information given on the type identification plate.
▶ Use this product only with saw blades equipped with a T-shank.
3.3 Possible misuse
• Use of the product to cut off tree branches or to cut the trunk of a tree is not permissible.
• Use of the product to cut hazardous materials is not permissible.
• Use of the product in a damp or wet environment is not permissible.
3.4 Dust blower
The dust blower directs a jet of air toward the saw blade in order to keep the cutting line free of dust.
3.5 Stroke rate
The stroke rate can be adjusted by turning the thumbwheel. Position 1 corresponds to 800 strokes per
minute and position 6 corresponds to 3000 strokes per minute.
3.6 4 orbital-action settings
The 4 orbital-action settings allow cutting performance and quality of cut to be adjusted to suit the material
to be cut. The orbital-action adjustment lever is used to set the power tool to one of the 4 settings.
The lower the orbital-action setting, the finer and cleaner the cut edges will be. The optimum setting can be
determined by carrying out practical tests.
