Frequently Asked Questions - SPE 80 A AEG

How do I replace the saw blade on the SPE 80 A?

Unplug the machine. Push the transparent cover down, loosen the locking screw about 2 turns with the hex key, insert the blade all the way into the slide (both notches must make contact), then retighten the screw. Check the correct position while wearing gloves.

How do I adjust the pendulum motion?

Use the pendulum switch to adapt the pendulum degree to the material: wood (I–III), synthetic material (I), aluminium (0–I), steel (0), ceramic (0), rubber (0). The adjustment can be made with the machine running.

How do I make a bevel (angled) cut?

Loosen the base plate adjustment screw, tilt the base plate to the desired angle (15°, 30°, 45°) by locking it into the notch, then retighten the screw. For intermediate angles, the base plate can be adjusted outside the notches.

How do I connect a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction?

Use the AEG suction hose (ref. 4932 3304 12); insert it fully into the suction channel (30 mm Ø) while turning, then push the transparent cover down for optimal suction.

How do I make an interior cut (plunge cut)?

Set the pendulum motion to 0. Push the base plate back for plunge cuts. Position the front edge of the base plate on the cutting point (machine off), plug it in, then carefully insert the blade into the material. Possible only on wood or soft materials.

What accessories are available for the SPE 80 A?

Accessories include: splinter guard, parallel stop with circle guide (parallel cuts 0–200 mm and circle cuts 100–400 mm), synthetic material base plate for sensitive surfaces, and suction hose. Consult the AEG catalogue.

How do I use the parallel stop?

Insert the support face of the stop (facing down) into the groove of the base plate and secure it with the clamping screw. For use as a circle guide, screw the guide into the stop and align the blade with the guide.

What maintenance is required for the jigsaw?

Have the brushes (carbon brushes) checked once a year at an AEG service center. Use only AEG parts and accessories. For replacement of parts not described, contact an AEG service center.

What are the essential safety precautions?

Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and a dust mask. Unplug the machine before any maintenance. Never remove chips while the machine is running. Use a vacuum for hazardous dust. Make sure the power cable is behind the machine.

How do I adjust the stroke rate?

Turn the adjustment knob to select the letter corresponding to the material: G for wood, D-E for steel and aluminium, A-C for rubber. A = lowest, G = highest.

Advice for your safety	Please pay attention to the safety instructions in the attached leaflet! Dust that arises when working on material containing asbestos or stonework containing crystalline silicic acid is harmful to the health. Please follow accident prevention regulations. Appliances used at many different locations including open air must be connected via a current surge preventing switch. Always use the protective shields on the machine. Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine. Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron. Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running. Do not pierce the motor housing as this could damage the double insulation (use adhesives). Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always lead the cable away behind you. Only plug-in when machine is switched off. Dust that arises when working on wood or using the tool on industrial material can be dangerous to health. In this case connect the tool to a suitable suction device. Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades.
Measured sound value	Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of the tool is 82 dB (A). The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB (A). Wear ear protectors! Measured values determined according to EN 50 144.
Measured vibration value	Typically the weighted acceleration is 3 m/s2. Measured values determined according to EN 50 144.
Use	This jig saw can cut wood, plastic and metal; it can cut straight lines, bevels, curves, and internal cut-outs. Do not use this product in another way as stated for normal use.

Mains connection

Connect only to a single-phase AC current supply and only to the mains voltage specified on the rating plate. Connection to sockets without earth protection is possible as the appliance features protective insulation to DIN 57 740/ VDE 0740 and CEE 20. Radio suppression complies with the European standard EN 55014.

When fitting the plug, make sure that the brown (live) wire of this appliance is connected to the plug terminal marked L or coloured red, and the blue (neutral) wire of this appliance is connected to the plug terminal marked N or coloured black. Under no circumstances must the wires of this appliance be connected to the earth terminal of the plug marked either E, with the earth symbol or coloured green or green/yellow.

Brief description

The sawdust blower removes sawdust ahead of the cut - very practical when sawing along a line.

The stroke-rate (= movements per minute of the saw blade) can be infinitely varied by means of the adjustment wheel.(not for ST 400, ST 440)

Transparent cover for optimum sawdust removal.

The anti-splintering device almost entirely prevents the edge of the wood from splintering. (Accessory*)

The base plate can be tilted to both sides by 45^ for bevel cuts.

The vibration damper permits quieter running by means of a counterweight on the plunger.

The on-off switch is shaped in such a way that it can be used from the forward or the rear holding position.

The on-off switch can be fixed in the "On"- position for continuous operation by means of the locking button.

Integrated suction channel for connection to a vacuum-cleaner.

Integrated tool storage for spare blade.

The built-in pendulum stroke improves the cutting performance. The pendulum stroke of the saw blade means it is only pressed against the material on the reverse stroke (working stroke) and lifted off the material on the forward stroke.

Result: better extraction of sawdust, lower friction higher cutting performance.

The pendulum stroke can be adjusted by the pendulum stroke control and thus adapted to different kinds of material. (not for ST 400, ST 440)
