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

Modifications: Text, diagrams and data are correct at the time of printing. In the interest of continuous improvement of our products, technical specifications are subject to alteration without prior notice.

Inserting the saw-blade	Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine. 1. Slide the transparent cover downwards, then the clamping screw is more accessible. 2. Loosen the clamping screw about 2 revolutions by means of the hexagonal allen key (fitted into the base plate).
	3. Fit the saw blade into the groove of the support roller and push it firmly into the plunger as far as it will go; the lug of the saw blade must contact the end of the plunger (see illustration). 4. Retighten the clamping screw. 5. Check that the saw blade is sitting firmly (wear protective gloves!).
Adjusting the base plate	The base plate can be tilted or moved backward or forward. Setting an angle => For angle cuts and bevels. Loosen the fixing screw, pull the base plate out of the mounting, set it at the required angle (15°, 30°, 45°), push it back into the mounting and tighten the fixing screw again. Angles other than 45° can be set by not pushing the base plate back into the mounting. The angle can be read off the scale. For very exact angle cuts it is recommended to make a test cut. Moving the base plate => For plunge cuts or cuts in corners. Loosen the fixing screw, push the base plate to the rear and tighten the fixing screw again. The base plate in this position is fixed at the 0° setting. Moving back => For cutting a hole with a short saw blade and sawing near the edge. Take the fixing screw out, push the base plate to the rear and screw the fixing screw tightly into the rear hole. In this position the base plate can also be off-set in longitudinal direction.
Sawdust removal	Only operate the machine with suitable sawdust removal. The integrated suction channel has the standardized internal diameter of 30 mm. Use the suction hose (Id. No. 4932 3304 12) from our range of accessories to connect it to a household vacuum cleaner or to an wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner.	ST 500, STE 500, STEP 500

	1. Push in and turn the suction hose into the suction channel until it fits firmly. 2. Push the transparent cover downwards to ensure optimum sawdust removal.
Anti-splintering device (Accessory*)	The anti-splintering device almost entirely prevents the edge of the wood from splintering. Place the anti-splintering device as shown in the illustration with the smooth side downwards and flush with the base plate (this is only possible with the base plate in the forward position). *Not included in standard equipment, available as an accessory.
Adjusting the stroke rate (only applicable for STE 500 STEP 500)	The stroke-rate (= movements per minute of the saw blade) can be infinitely varied by means of the adjustment wheel. The letters A to G are printed on the speed control, meaning: A = lowest stroke rate G = highest stroke rate The stroke rate appropriate to the material being worked on can be taken from the following table, and the corresponding letter shown on the setting wheel. Material Stroke rate
	Wood G Steel D-E Aluminium D-E Rubber A-C
On-off switch	Intermittent use Switching on: Press On-/off switch Switching off: Release On-/off switch Continuous use Switching on: Press the On-/off switch and then the locking button, after that release on-off switch. Switching off: Press the On-/off switch and then release.
Adjusting the pendulum stroke (only applicable for STEP 500)	By adjusting the pendulum action the cutting depth of the saw blade teeth is increased or decreased. As a rule of thumb: Soft material Large pendulum stroke Hard material Small or no pendulum stroke Clean cut surface No pendulum stroke
ENGLISH	4	ST 500, STE 500, STEP 500
	The appropriate degree of pendulum effect can be taken from the following chart and compared with the marking at the pendulum stroke lever.
	Material Degree of swing action
	Wood Ⅰ - Ⅲ Plastic Ⅰ Aluminium 0 - Ⅰ Steel 0 Ceramics 0 Rubber 0 The stroke rate shown in the chart is only a suggestion for your general guidance! The stroke rate can be set on the stroke rate control even while the motor is running.
Advice for operation	1. Set the stroke and pendulum stroke according to the material to be cut.
	2. Position the machine with the front part of the base plate on the material, and switch on.
Hints	3. Press the machine downwards onto the material and guide it along the cutting line. Do not press down too hard on the piece you are cutting. Light pressure on the saw blade is sufficient to achieve the optimum rate of sawing. When cutting along a score line, use the marking on the anti-splintering device as an optical guide. To obtain a perfectly straight cut, clamp a strip of wood as a guide along the material or use the parallel guide (accessory). For cutting at an angle, or cutting a bevel, adjust the base plate. For sawing close to the edge, set the base plate at its rearmost position.
Sawing sheet metal	To avoid vibration, clamp metal sheets onto a wooden base. To saw metal, use cooling agents along the cutting line (oil, white spirit).
Plunge cuts	Plunge cuts without pre-drilling a hole are possible with soft materials (wood, light building materials for walls). Harder materials (metals) must first be drilled with a hole corresponding to the size of the saw blade. Move the base plate to the rearmost setting in order to obtain the best possible cutting angle for starting the cut.(see section "Adjusting the base plate")
1. Set the pendulum stroke at the pendulum stroke control to "0".
2. Without switching the machine on, place it with the front edge of the base plate on the cutting point.
3. Switch the machine on and carefully lower the saw blade already running into the material.
ENGLISH	5	ST 500, STE 500, STEP 500
Parallel guide and circle cutting guide (Accessory*)	Using the parallel guide or circle cutting, parallel cuts of 0–200 mm, circular cuts of 100–400 mm are possible. Use cross-cut saw blades. *Not included in standard equipment, available as an accessory.
Assembly of parallel guide	Push the parallel guide, with the contact surface facing downwards, through the lugs in the base plate and fasten it in position with the capstand-headed screw.
Cutting a circle	For cutting from the left or from the right, push the parallel guide in from the appropriate side.
	Push the parallel guide, with the contact surface facing upwards, through the lugs in the base plate and fasten it in position with the capstand-headed screw.
	Tighten the centre point into the parallel guide from the top.
	Ensure that the saw blade and the circle centre point form one single line.
Plastic protection shoe (Accessory*)	When working on delicate surfaces please use the plastic protection shoe. *Not included in standard equipment, available as an accessory.
Assembly	Fit the plastic protection shoe to the front of the base plate (as illustrated) and fix the lugs with the back of the base plate.
Dismantling	Bend up both lugs and remove the plastic protection shoe. Further accessories with part numbers are shown in our catalogues.
Maintenance	In order to guarantee constant readiness for operation, the machine should be checked for worn carbon brushes at one of the AEG after-sales service agencies. Use only AEG accessories and spare parts. Should components need to be replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our AEG service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses). If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state the ten-digit No. as well as the machine type printed on the label and order the drawing at your local service agents or directly at: Atlas Copco Electric Tools GmbH, Postfach 320, D-71361 Winnenden.
