Always check the machine, the power cable and the plug before use. Only ever use the machine if it is in perfect, undamaged condition. Damaged parts are to be repaired or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. Always pull the plug out of the power socket before carrying out any work on the machine, before changing the tool and in periods of non- use. Always run the power cable away from the back of the machine to guard it from damage. For outdoors work use only suitably approved extension cables with a minimum conductor cross section of 1.5 mm

. The plug connectors must have earthing contacts and be rain-water-proof. Keep the machine in a safe place and out of the reach of children. Always wear goggles, safety gloves and ear muffs when grinding, brushing and cutting. Wear a breathing mask on dusty jobs. Never leave any tool keys or adjustment spanners in position on the machine. Before switching on, check that all keys and adjustment spanners have been removed. Secure the workpiece (with a clamp) so that it cannot slip. It is imperative to use a dust extractor when working on stone (cutting or grinding). Make sure the dust extractor is approved for stone dust. It is prohibited to use the machine on asbestos materials. Please note the accident prevention regulations in force in your country. Use only original spare parts. Repairs are to be carried out by qualified electricians only. The level of noise at the workplace may exceed 85 dB(A). In this case you will need to introduce noise protection measures for the user. The noise produced by this electric tool is measured in accordance with IEC 59 CO 11, IEC 704, DIN 45635 Part 21, NFS 31-031 (84/537/EEC). Make sure of your footing. Avoid abnormal working positions. Keep your electric tool out of the rain. Never use electric tools in wet or damp conditions, and never use them near inflammable liquids. Never carry the machine by its power cable. Keep the power cable safe from damage. Oil, solvent and sharp edges can damage cables. Keep your workplace tidy. Make sure the power switch is off before inserting the plug in the socket. Wear suitable clothing. Never wear loose-fitting clothes or jewelry. Use a hair-net on long hair. For your own safety, use only the manufacturer´s accessories and attachments. Use only sharp saw blades that are in perfect condition. Replace bent and cracked saw blades immediately. After switching off the jigsaw, do not press against the side of the blade to bring it to a halt. Always cut at a steady rate of progress. This will prevent accidents and prolong the life of your jig- saw and the blade.

Use the supplied hexagon-socket spanner to undo the two screws on the ram (Figure 2). Slide the saw blade into the guide slot and up to the stop between the piston rod and the retention clip. Use the supplied hexagon-socket spanner to tighten the two screws. The teeth of the saw blade must face in cutting direction. Make sure that the saw blade sits properly in the guide slot of the ram and roller. Adjusting the base (for mitering and sawing near edges, Figure 4) For mitre and bevel cuts you can swivel the base by up to 45° in either direction after undoing the two screws on the bottom. The angles 15°, 30° and 45° are marked but you can adjust the saw to any angle between these markings as required. To adjust the cutting angle, undo the two screws (Figure 4) until you can just about move the blade. Adjust to the required angle and re-tighten the two screws. To enable you to saw right up to the edge, the base can be pushed backward. To do so, undo the two screws underneath (Figure 4) and push the base to the back. Re-tighten the two screws.
