Adapter for dust extraction system

Parallel stop Original operating instructions

The jigsaw is designed for sawing wood, iron, non-ferrous metals and plastics using the approp- riate saw blades. The equipment is to be used only for its prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju- ries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

The specifi ed vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equip- ment is used and may exceed the specifi ed value in exceptional circumstances. The specifi ed vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. The specifi ed vibration value can be used for initi- al assessment of a harmful eff ect. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.

Wear protective gloves. Caution! Residual risks Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain resi- dual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vib-

rations if the equipment is used over a pro- longed period or is not properly guided and maintained.

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. Warning! Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

The safety guard (15) 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)

Pull the mains plug before you fit or replace a saw blade.

Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to position 3. The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!

Undo the screw (a) on the blade holder (14) using the supplied Allen key.

groove (b) of the blade holder (14) as far as the stop.

Tighten the screw (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 (14) 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 Installing the parallel stop (Figure 3/

The parallel stop (11) enables you to saw parallel cuts.

Now slide the parallel stop (11) into the guides on the soleplate (7). You can fit the parallel stop (11) on either the left or right of the equipment.

The guide strip must always face downwards. Set the required distance using the measu- rement scale on the parallel stop (11) and tighten the locking screws (13) again.

Pull the soleplate (7) slightly forward. The so- leplate 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 positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which are marked on the graduated scale for the sole- plate (9) (Figure 5). Move the soleplate into the required position and refasten the screw securing the soleplate (16).

However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to another angle. To do so, move the soleplate (7) forwards, set the desired angle and refas- ten the screw securing the soleplate (16).

5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system

(Figure 6) The jigsaw is equipped with an adapter for the vacuum cleaner connection. Place the adaptor onto the jigsaw and secure by turning it. Any va- cuum 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.

You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the lo- cking button (2) when the equipment is in operati- on. To switch off the equipment briefl y hold down the ON/OFF switch (3).

6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 8/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 fi ne saw blades whilst coarser saw blades require lower speeds. Position 1-2 = low stroke speed (for steel) Position 3-4 = medium stroke speed (for steel, soft metal, plastic) Position 5-6 = high stroke speed (for softwood, hardwood, soft metal, plastic)

The strength of the pendulum action of the saw blade (12) can be adjusted using the se- lector switch for pendulum action (8).

You can adjust the cutting speed, the cutting performance and the finish to the workpiece you wish to saw. Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to one of the following positions: Anl_PS_600_1_E_SPK7.indb 17Anl_PS_600_1_E_SPK7.indb 17 08.09.2016 07:40:4408.09.2016 07:40:44GB

Position 0: No pendulum action Material: Rubber, ceramic, aluminium, steel Please note: For fi ne and clean cuts, thin materi- als (e.g. sheet steel) and hard materials. Position 1: Small pendulum action Material: Plastic, wood, aluminium Please note: For hard materials Position 2: Medium pendulum action Material: Wood Position 3: Large pendulum action Material: Wood Please note: For soft materials and sawing along the grain The best combination of speed and pendulum action depends on the material you wish to saw. We recommend you to make a trial cut on a waste piece in order to check the ideal settings.

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 con- dition. 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.

6.6 Sawing out sections (Fig. 10)

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

Mount the parallel stop and adjust as required (see section 5.3).

Cut as shown in Figure 11.

Cut as shown in Figure 12.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger! 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.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger! Always pull out the mains power plug before star- ting any cleaning work.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician. Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
