WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ

from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool being in good condition and well maintained The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used. And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.Jigsaw EN

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of

use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades. Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate). If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10

C or less. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

1. Always wear a dust mask.

2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a” live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool” live” and shock the operator.

3. Use clamps or another practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

4. Always wear safety glasses or eye

shields when using the jigsaw. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

5. Always wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

6. Keep your hands away from cutting area.

Do not reach under the material being cut because the nearness of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.

7. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent

blades can break easily, or cause kickback.

8. Remove the plug from the socket before

carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

9. Fully unwind cable drum extensions to

avoid potential overheating.

10. When an extension cable is required you

must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for your power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.

11. Ensure your mains supply voltage is the

same as indicated on the rating plate.

12. Your tool is double insulated for additional

protection against a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

13. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to

avoid hidden power cables and pipes.

14. After long working period, external metal

parts and accessories could be hot.

15. Only withdraw the blade from the cut when

the blade has been stopped moving.

16. The pivoting blade foot must be held firmly

against the material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.

17. Before cutting, check the cutting line is free

of nails, screws, etc.

18. If possible, ensure the work-piece is firmly

clamped to prevent movement.

19. Never stop the cutting blade by applying

side pressure to the blade.

20. Your Jigsaw is a hand held tools, do not

WARNING: Some dust particles

created by power sawing, contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Leadfromlead-basedpaints.

• Crystallinesilicafrombricksandcement and other masonry products.

• Arsenicandchromiumfromchemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

• Workinawell-ventilatedarea.

• Workwithapprovedsafetyequipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.Jigsaw EN

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully. INTENDED USE: The machine is intended for sawing wood, plastic, metal and building materials while resting firmly on the workpiece. It is suitable for straight and curved cuts with mitre angles to 45°. The saw blade recommendations are to be observed.

1. ON/OFF SWITCH (See Fig. A)

The tool is switched on by the switch button located at the side of the motor housing. The switch locks in the on position, a convenience for continuous operation. TO TURN ON THE TOOL on slide the switch button forward. TO TURN OFF slide the switch button backward.

2. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

(See Fig. B) Adjust the Variable speed control to increase or decrease the speed according to the material, material thickness and blade specification to be used (also possible during no load operation). See Chart 1 for general guidance on speed selection. Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as this may damage your jigsaw’s motor. Chart 1 Material Speed setting Wood 5-6 Metal 3-4 Aluminum 3-5 PVC 3-4 Ceramic 3-5

Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst operating your jigsaw. Your hand must hold on the handle when you are working. To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual Warning Double insulation Wear eye protection Wear ear protection Wear dust mask Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.Jigsaw EN

You can only use the blade type shown in Fig C. To open the blade holder rotate the ring anti-clockwise (jigsaw upside down) and hold in position (See Fig. D). Then fully insert the blade into the blade holder slot with blade teeth facing forward and release the ring, which will self, rotate and clamp over the top of the blade. Push the blade into the blade holder again to ensure it is locked in position. Ensure the edge of the blade is located in the groove of the blade guide. To remove a blade, hold the blade and rotate the blade holder ring anti-clockwise then lift out the blade (blade could be spring ejected).

WARNING: Blade teeth are very

sharp. For best cutting results ensure you use a blade suited to the material and cut quality you need.

5. PARALLEL GUIDE FIXTURE

Slide the parallel guide arm through both fixtures to achieve the required cutting distance and tighten both screws to lock into position.

6. ROLLER GUIDE (See Fig. E)

Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the groove otherwise the pendulum function will not work correctly and the blade will not be supported during cutting.

7. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL

(See Fig. F) The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of the blade for increased cutting efficiency. This can also be adjusted during no load running. Refer to the chart 2 for more details. Do not use excessive blade force when cutting with the pendulum action. The blade cuts on the upward stroke only. Chart 2 0 Thin materials. Fine cuts. Hard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard) I Thick materials (e.g. wood) & plastic II Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in the direction of the wood grain.

Adjusting the angle of the base plate (10) enables bevel cutting. The base plate must always be held firmly against the materials being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping or blade breakage.

9. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

(See Fig. G) Use a hex key. Loosen the bolts securing the base plate. For preset angles, adjust the press- board arrow pointing at the desired angle (0,15,30,45) on the angle plate (See Fig. G). For other mitre angles, rotate to your desired angle (use a protractor scale). Following one of the above procedures, hold the base plate in position and firmly tighten the bolts to clamp the base plate at that angle. Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped. The angle markings on the base plate are accurate for most general purposes but it is recommended for accurate work to set the angle with a protractor and make a test cut on other material.

10. VACUUM ADAPTOR (See Fig. H)

The adapter (4) rotates anti-clockwise inside the dust tube and locks in position by a groove inside the dust tube The adapter must then be connected to a suitable external dust extraction machine.

11. PROTECTION FINGER

The finger is located in front of the blade holder. Whilst working, it will help prevent accidental contact with moving blade.

12. DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE

This is a small aperture located underneath the housing just behind the blade guide. Ensure this is kept clean to allow the airflow to continually blow dust away from the cutting area.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR

JIG SAW If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed toJigsaw EN

maximum and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. GENERAL Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut. Always ensure the work–piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. For easier control, use low speed to start cutting, then increase to correct speed. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost. Ensure your uppermost surface is a non- visible surface when your work is finished. CUTTING LAMINATES Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood materials. To reduce edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at both ends on both sides and cut through the wood during cutting. CIRCLE CUTTING Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles. PLUNGE SAWING (See Fig. I,J) Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.! Use only short saw blades. Place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch on. Press the machine firmly against the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into the workpiece. As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work piece, continue to saw along the cutting line. METAL CUTTING Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse tooth blade for non-ferrous metals. When cutting thin sheet metals, always clamp wood on both sides of the sheet to reduce vibration or tearing of the sheet metal. Both wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not force the cutting blade when cutting thin metal or sheet steel, as they are harder materials and will take longer to cut. Excessive blade force may reduce the life of the blade or damage the motor. To reduce heat during metal cutting, add a little lubricant along the cutting line. MAINTENANCE Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation slots, this is normal and will not damage your power tool. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
