Frequently Asked Questions - PS-G 500 E EINHELL

How to change the saw blade?

Unplug the device. Loosen the two screws on the slide using the hex key. Insert the saw blade into the guide groove until it stops, making sure the teeth are oriented in the cutting direction. Tighten the screws. Check that the blade is securely held before using the saw.

How to adjust the cutting speed?

The speed can be continuously adjusted by varying pressure on the ON/OFF switch. For precise presetting, turn the knurled screw on the switch: in the 'PLUS' direction to increase speed, in the 'MOINS' direction to decrease it. Adapt the speed to the material for optimal cutting.

What materials can I cut with this saw?

This jigsaw can cut wood (up to 55 mm), plastic (up to 20 mm) and steel (up to 4 mm). Use a blade suitable for each material for best results. It is forbidden to cut materials containing asbestos.

How to adjust the bevel cut?

Loosen the two screws under the base plate. Tilt the base plate to the desired angle (max. 45° left or right). Marks at 15°, 30° and 45° help you. Tighten the screws after adjustment. You can also retract the base plate to cut near the edge.

What are the essential safety instructions?

Always wear safety goggles, gloves and ear protection. Use a respirator mask in case of dust. Do not work in a humid atmosphere. Unplug the plug before any blade change. Keep children away. Check the condition of the cable and appliance before each use.

How to maintain the jigsaw?

Regularly clean the ventilation slots and the dust extraction opening. Occasionally grease the guide roller with a drop of oil. Replace blunt or damaged blades. Store the appliance in a dry place, out of reach of children.

How to use the dust extraction system?

Connect a vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction connection at the rear of the saw. Use an adapter if necessary (contact the vacuum cleaner manufacturer). This helps reduce dust and improve visibility during cutting.

What to do if the saw vibrates abnormally?

Check that the blade is properly tightened and in good condition. Make sure the workpiece is properly secured. If vibrations persist, have the appliance checked by an electrician. Excessive vibrations may indicate a mechanical problem.

What is the sound level of this saw?

The sound pressure level is 89 dB(A) and the sound power level is 96 dB(A). Wear ear protection to protect yourself from hearing risks.

How to benefit from the warranty?

The warranty is 2 years from the date of purchase. It covers material and manufacturing defects. Spare parts and labor are covered. Keep the proof of purchase. Damage caused by improper use is not covered.

General safety and accident prevention regulations

To work safely with this machine and to prevent accidents it is imperative to read the following safety regulations and operating instructions in full and to put all the information into practice.

●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 1.5mm^2 . 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 ISO 3744, 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 jigsaw and the blade.

Operating instructions for the PS-G 500 E electronic jigsaw

STARTING UP

Instant response operation (Figure 1)

Switching on: Press the On/Off switch

Switching off: Release the On/Off switch

Continuous operation

Switching on: Press the On/Off switch, keep pres sed and lock with the locking button Switching off: Press the On/Off switch and release

Electronic speed control setting (Figure 3)

Using the knurled screw on the On/Off switch you can pre-set any speed. Turn the knurled screw in PLUS direction for a higher speed and turn it in MINUS direction for a lower speed. The ideal cutting rate depends on the specific material and working conditions.

The general rules for tool speed in cutting operations apply.

Changing the saw blade (Figure 2)

Switch off the jigsaw and remove the plug from the power socket before changing the blade or carrying out any other work on the jigsaw.

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.

Dust extraction

The jigsaw is equipped with a dust extractor socket. Any vacuum cleaner can be connected to the socket at the rear of the jigsaw. If you require a special adapter, please contact the manufacturer of your vacuum cleaner.
