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 (13) using the supplied Allen key.
- Insert the saw blade (12) into the guide groove (b) of the blade holder (13) 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 (13) 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 Adapter for dust extraction system (Figure 5) The jigsaw is equipped with an adapter for the vacuum cleaner connection. Place the adaptor onto the jigsaw and secure by turning it. Any vacuum cleaner can be connected to the extractor adaptor. Check that the connections are air-tight. Dust created when working may be dangerous. Be sure to observe the safety instructions.

6. Operation

6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3)

To switch on:

Press the ON/OFF switch

To switch off:

Release the ON/OFF switch

6.2 Locking button (Fig. 6/Item 2)

You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the locking button (2) when the equipment is in operation. To switch off the equipment briefly hold down the ON/OFF switch (3).

6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 6/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.

6.5 Sawing out sections (Fig. 7-8)

Drill a 10mm hole in the section you wish to saw out. Insert the saw blade into this hole and start to saw out the required section.

6.6 Making miter cuts

• Set the angle on the soleplate (see section 5.3).
  Observe the instructions in section 6.4.
  Cut as shown in Figure 9.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.
