The specified vibration emission value can also be used for an introductory evaluation of the exposure. NOTICE! The vibration emission value may fluctuate from the specified value during use of the electrical tool. These fluctuations will depend on the way in which the tool is used. Information about minimising vibrations

Warning: The actual vibration emission

value present during the use of the machine may deviate from the specification given in the operating instructions or made by the manufacturer. This may be caused by the following influencing factors that should be taken into account prior to and during each use:

• Is the device being used correctly?

• Is the correct type of material being processed?

• Is the device in proper working order?

• Are the handles or optional vibration handles mounted and fixed securely up against the body of the machine? If you experience an unpleasant sensation in your hands or the skin changes colour while you are using the machine, immediately interrupt your work. Take sufficient breaks. If you do not take sufficient breaks, this may cause a hand-arm vibration syndrome. You should estimate the level of load caused in conjunction with the work or use of the machine and take the appropriate breaks. This method can be used to considerably minimise the level of load during the entire working time. Minimise risks in which you are exposed to vibrations. Take care of your machinery in accordance with the directions in the operating instructions. If the machine is to be used frequently, contact your dealer and arrange anti- vibration equipment (handles) if necessary. Avoid using the tool in temperatures of t = 10 °C or lower. Draw up a working schedule which can be used to minimise vibration loads.

Warning: A certain amount of noise is

unavoidable when using this device. Ensure you carry out noise-intensive work during permitted times. Maintain the quiet periods and limit your work to the absolute minimum. For the sake of your personal protection and the protection of persons in the vicinity, suitable ear defenders should be worn. 3 – Components 1 Stroke rate pre-selection (adjustment wheel) 2 Locking button 3 On/Off switch 4 Connection cable 5 Connection for dust extractor 6 Selection switch for dust blower function 7 Saw shoe with plastic sliding plate 8 Cutting angle setting 9 Pendulum 10 Guide roller 11 Saw blade holder with quick change system 12 Cut protection guard

5453400-Pendelhubs_man 07.04.15 09:56 Seite 405 – General safety instructions for handling power tools WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1 Work area a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. b Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2 Electrical Safety a Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. 3 Personal safety a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off- position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking

5453400-Pendelhubs_man 07.04.15 09:56 Seite 41up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. h If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards. 4 Power tool use and care a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5 Service a Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

5453400-Pendelhubs_man 07.04.15 09:56 Seite 42b To avoid hazards, damaged power leads must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service representative. 6 – Device-specific safety information for jigsaws

• Hold the device by the insulated handle surfaces only when carrying out tasks during which it is possible that the tool will come across hidden power cables or its own cable. Touching a live electrical line may also energize metallic device parts and cause an electric shock.

• Changing the saw blade and making settings to the saw shoe may only be carried out when the unit is unplugged.

• To fix the adjustment wrench to the unit, only use the integrated holder.

• The saw blade must be locked tight into the holder. Check, at regular intervals, that it is seated firmly.

• The saw shoe must lie firmly across the entire surface.

• Do not process materials that contain asbestos.

• Wood dust and materials containing fibres may be hazardous to health. For this reason, always work with a dust protection mask and with the dust extractor switched on.

• Anybody else in the vicinity should thus also wear a dust mask.

• If the power cable is damaged, do not continue to the use the machine. Safety notes for the laser marking aid CAUTION! Do not look at the laser beam!

• Never point the laser beam towards people or animals.

• Never use the laser beam on very reflective materials. There is a risk posed by the reflected light.

• Have repairs to the laser marking aid carried out by specialists only.

• Do not introduce hard objects into the laser optic (14).

• Clean the laser optic with a soft, dry brush.

• Looking into the laser outlet (14) with optical instruments, e.g., a magnifying glass, from a distance within 100 mm may lead to damage to the eyes.

• Caution – if equipment is used that does not match the described operating equipment or any another procedures are executed, this may lead to hazardous radiation exposure.

Wear a breathing mask! Caution laser radiation. Do not look into the beam Do not dispose of with household waste! Additional symbols and the associated explanations as used in the text of these instructions. 7 – Installation and setting CAUTION! Assembly and adjustment tasks may only be carried out with the tool at a standstill and unplugged! Electronic stroke rate control/stroke rate selection (Figure 1a) In order to saw in accordance with the requirements of the material, use the adjustment wheel (1) to select a suitable stroke rate 1–6 (0–3000 min

) and achieve this using the On/Off switch. The adjustment wheel also serves to implement stepless adjustments of the stroke rate during operation. Saw blade change The machine has a quick change system (11) that can be used to change the saw blade without tools.

• Inserting the saw blade (Figure 2a) Fold up the cut protection guard (12), swivel the lever in the direction of the arrow and hold. Insert the saw blade into the holder and push as far as it will go. The rear of the saw blade must lie well in the groove of the guide roller (10). Release the trigger, it should return to the starting position in order to lock the saw blade. Fold down the cut protection guard. CAUTION! Only use saw blades with a shaft in accordance with Figure 2b!

• Removing the saw blade (Figure 2c) Fold up the cut protection guard (12) and swivel the lever in the direction of the arrow. Remove the saw blade from the holder. Release the lever. CAUTION! There is a risk of injury when removing the saw blade! Mitre/bevelled cuts (Figure 3) The saw shoe (7) is set to the middle position (0°) when the machine leaves the factory. To set mitre and bevelled cuts, loosen the holding screw of the saw shoe with the hexagonal wrench (18) (Figure 3), and push the saw shoe forwards out of its locked position. Set the cutting angle by turning to the right or left (8). The angles 0°, 15°, 30° and 45° are marked but

5453400-Pendelhubs_man 07.04.15 09:56 Seite 44intermediate values may also be selected. Tighten the holding screw up again. When carrying out cuts at an angle, push the cutting protection guard (12) up as far as it will go. Oscillation (Figure 1 + 4) The adjustable oscillation (P) (9) of the saw blade (I for hard materials to III for soft materials), in combination with the stroke rate suitable for the material (H), improves the compatibility of the machine with the relevant material (Figure 1). At the same time it reduces wear on the saw blade, improves the ejection of shavings and considerably reduces the formation of heat caused by friction. The activation of the oscillation function may also be carried out when the machine is already running. Recommendations regarding the machine settings can be found on Figure 4. Parallel stopper (Figures 1 + 5) The supplied parallel stopper (19) (Figure 1) is pushed through the holder on the saw shoe (7) and secured using two screws (a) (Figure 5). The parallel stopper enables parallel cuts along a stopper edge. Dust extraction (Figure 1) The extraction hose of the household vacuum should be fitted to the connection for extraction (5) on the jigsaw or to the supplied adapter (16). Push firmly into the guide groove of the extraction opening and use a slight left turn to secure (Figure 1c). The folded down cut protection guard will improve the efficiency of the dust removal process. 8 – Operation Connect the plug to a power supply. Switch on the dust extractor.

• On: Press the switch (3) and hold.

• Off: Release the switch (3).

• Continuous operation: On: Press the switch (3) and then the locking switch (2) to lock.

Dust blower function Slide the selection switch for the dust blower function (6) in the direction of the extraction opening to activate the function. When switched on, the shavings are blown from the cutting area. To deactivate the blower function, push the selection switch forwards. 9 – Mode of operation Sawing Do not put excess pressure on the materials being cut in order to prevent overheating and destruction of the saw blade. Put thin materials onto an additional board in order to absorb vibrations and to improve the results of the cut. Sawing without pilot hole (plunge cuts) If you need to cut into the centre of the work piece and it is not possible to drill a hole: Set oscillation (9) to 0, loosen the saw shoe (7), push back all the way, and lock in place. With the saw blade in a tipped machine position and the machine running, carefully guide it across the work piece. As soon as you have sawn through the work piece, continue with the machine in the normal position. OBSERVE IMPORTANT NOTES!

• Only soft materials may be processed using the plunge cut procedure.

• Always set the mitre angle setting to 0°. 10 – Maintenance and environmental protection Regularly clean the dust from the housing, ventilation slots and moving parts and, if need be, wipe with a damp cloth when unplugged. Lightly oil the guide roller for the saw blade from time to time. CAUTION! Electrical and battery operated units that no longer work should not be disposed of in the household waste!
