Frequently Asked Questions - JD2902LK Cotech

How do I change the blade?

Unplug the saw. Lift the blade holder lock (4B) towards the handle. Remove the old blade. Insert the new blade (T-shank or U-shank) fully into the holder until the back aligns with the guide roller. Release the lock. Check that the blade is secure by tugging it.

How do I adjust the cutting speed?

Rotate the speed selector control (8) to any of the 6 settings (1=slowest, 6=fastest). You can adjust even during operation. After prolonged low-speed cutting, run at max speed for 3 minutes to cool the motor.

How do I tilt the soleplate for bevel cuts?

Loosen the socket head screw under the soleplate. Slide the soleplate forward and tilt it to the desired angle (fixed settings at -45°, 0°, 45°). Tighten the screw. Always test-cut on scrap material first.

What is the pendulum action and how do I set it?

Pendulum action increases cutting speed but leaves a rougher finish. Use the control (6) to select one of 4 settings: 0 (sheet metal/steel/rubber), 1 (non-ferrous metals/hardwoods/plastics), 2 (wood), 3 (wood, fastest). Turn until it clicks.

How do I use the laser and LED light?

Press the switch (7) on the front housing repeatedly to cycle: LED on (laser off), laser on (LED off), both on, both off. Never point laser at people or animals, and never stare into the beam.

How do I attach a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction?

Fit the vacuum hose to the dust extractor port (13). Set the sawdust deflector switch (14) to the forward position. When not using a vacuum, set the switch to the rear position to blow sawdust away from the cutting line.

Can I cut metal with this jigsaw?

Yes, but use a finer-toothed blade if vibration is high, lower speed if the blade gets hot, and apply lubricant/coolant (e.g., alcohol for aluminium, cutting oil for steel). For thin sheet metal, clamp it between two sheets of plywood and saw through all layers.

What should I do if the jigsaw doesn't start?

Check power at the socket. If power is fine, the brushes may be worn or there may be a short circuit. Contact customer service for motor or electrical faults. Do not attempt repairs yourself.

How do I clean and maintain the jigsaw?

Unplug before cleaning. Use a soft, moist cloth with mild detergent only. Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Keep motor ventilation openings free of dust and debris. Regularly check and tighten blade.

How do I dispose of the jigsaw when it's no longer usable?

Dispose of the product according to local regulations. Contact your local council if unsure. Do not throw it in household waste.

1. Safety

1.1 General Safety Requirements – EN 60745-1

Warning: Read all the instructions. Failure to comply with the following instructions can lead to electric shocks, fires and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in the warning text below refers to your handheld mains operated or battery operated tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1) Work area

a) Keep the work area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas invite accidents.
b) Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. near to flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can easily ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away from the area where you are using the power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose your concentration and control.

2) Electrical safety

a) The plug of the power tool must fit correctly into the wall socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adaptor together with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets minimize the risk of electric shocks.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, ovens or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of receiving an electrical shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose the power tool to rain or other wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the mains lead. Never use the lead to carry the tool or pull the plug from a wall socket. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When using power tools outdoors, use an extension lead that is suitable for this purpose. The use of an extension lead designed for outdoor use decreases the risk of electric shocks.

3) Personal safety

a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention while using a power tool may result in serious injury.
b) Wear protective clothing. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective clothing such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders when needed decreases the risk of injury.

c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF before plugging the tool into a wall socket. Never carry a power tool with your finger on the trigger and never connect the power tool to a wall socket when the switch is set to ON, since it may result in injury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the power tool. A service tool left on a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and well balanced at all times. This will allow you to have more control in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes, jewellery or long hair could potentially become caught in any moving parts.
g) If equipment for dust extraction or collecting is available make sure it is connected and used properly. Use of dust collection equipment can reduce dust related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of the power tool
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will perform the task better and safer if used at the correct feed rate.
b) Never use the power tool if the power switch does not switch the tool on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the lead from the wall socket before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool. These precautions reduce the risk of the power tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store power tools that are not being used out of children's reach. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar with the tool or its functions to operate it. Power tools can be dangerous if they fall into the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for any incorrect settings, parts that catch, broken parts or anything else which may cause the power tool to malfunction. If something is damaged it must be repaired before use. Accidents are frequently caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep 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 similar according to the instructions and in an appropriate way suitable for the type of power tool used. Also take into consideration your work environment and the type of work to be done. Using the power tool for a purpose other than that for which it is intended could result in a dangerous situation.

5) Service

a) Repairs and service should only be performed by qualified tradesmen, and only with original spare parts. This guarantees that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

1.2 Safety Instructions – Jigsaw EN 60745-2-11

Warning: Always disconnect the plug from the mains before adjusting, servicing or performing maintenance on the machine.

1. Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces whenever there is a risk of the saw blade coming into contact with hidden live wires or its own power flex. If the saw blade comes into contact with live wires it may electrify the metal parts of the jigsaw which can give the user an electric shock.
2. If the mains lead is damaged it should only be replaced by the retailer.
3. Keep your hands away from the blade and other moving parts.
4. Do not reach under the workpiece being sawed. Be extra careful if the blade or your hand is out of sight. Make sure that the underside of the workpiece is free of obstacles.
5. Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Bent saw blades can easily break or cause kickback.
6. Start the saw and let it run up to speed before starting to cut.
7. Make sure that the soleplate is in constant contact with the workpiece during sawing. Be extra careful when cutting with a tilted soleplate as it is easy to exert too much lateral force on the saw blade.
8. Secure the workpiece with a clamp, vice, etc.
9. Make sure that the settings are correct and that the blade is securely fastened in the blade holder before beginning to saw.
10. Make sure that the saw blade has come to a complete stop before removing the saw from the cut. The saw blade should not be stopped by applying lateral force to the side of the blade.

Warning: Unplug the jigsaw from the electrical socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

3.1 Changing the blade

1. Undo the blade holder lock (4B) by lifting it up towards the handle. Remove the used blade.
2. Insert the new blade (1) as far up into the blade holder (4) as it will go. Check that the back of the blade runs along the guide roller (17).
3. Release the blade holder lock.
4. Check that the blade is held securely by trying to pull it.

Note: The saw blade will be locked as soon as the blade holder lock is released.

3.2 Fitting the edge guide

1. Undo the two set screws (2B) but do not remove them. Use the Allen key (11) which is kept in a holder on the power lead.
2. Slide the edge guide (18) into the slots (2) on the soleplate.
3. Set the desired length.
4. Tighten the set screws.
5. Check that the saw is set correctly by test-cutting a piece of scrap wood/metal before sawing the workpiece. Adjust the edge guide if necessary.

3.3 Adjusting the soleplate bevel angle

The soleplate (6) can be tilted up to 45^ to the right or left.

1. Loosen the socket head screw on the bottom of the soleplate.

1. Slide the soleplate (6) forwards and tilt it to the required angle. There are fixed settings for -45^ , 0^ and 45^ .

2. Tighten the socket head screw.

3. Check that the saw is set correctly by test-cutting a piece of scrap wood/metal before sawing the workpiece. Adjust the angle if necessary.

Do NOT pull the soleplate (6) backwards if you want to set an angle other than the fixed settings. Set the desired bevel angle and then tighten the set screw.

3.4 Setting the pendulum action

The pendulum action can improve cutting efficiency and the setting can be adjusted until the optimum setting for the material being cut has been found. However, the swing of the pendulum action does create a rougher finish, so if a really fine finish is required the pendulum action should be set to 0.

The pendulum action control (6) sets the degree of pendulum swing. There are 4 fixed settings, turn the control carefully until it clicks into a setting.

• 0 – sheet metal, steel or rubber
  • 1 – non-ferrous metals, hard woods, plastics
• 2 - wood
  • 3 – wood (highest removal rate)

3.5 Laser/LED light

The laser/LED light is controlled by a switch (7) on the front of the housing. The laser projects a line in front of the jigsaw to help guide the sawing line.

Press the switch the required number of times to select one of the following settings:

LED worklight Laser
ON OFF
OFF ON
ON ON
OFF OFF

Warning:

Never point the laser beam at a person or animal. Never look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause permanent eye damage.

3.6 Setting the blade speed

The blade speed can be adjusted to suit the material by rotating the speed selector control (8), even during operation. 1 = lowest speed, 6 = highest speed.

After cutting for an extended time at low speed the motor should be run at maximum speed for about 3 minutes to cool down the motor.

3.7 Switch operation

Starting the jigsaw: To start the jigsaw, pull and hold in the trigger (9).

Stopping the jigsaw: Release the trigger to stop the jigsaw.

The jigsaw is equipped with a lock button (10) to lock the trigger on for longer cuts.

To lock the trigger (9) in the on position:

Press the lock button (10) and trigger (9) simultaneously and then release the trigger before the lock button.

Stopping when the trigger is locked:

To disengage the trigger lock and stop the jigsaw, pull and release the trigger (9) once.

3.8 Vacuum cleaner dust extraction

1. Fit the vacuum cleaner onto the dust extractor port (13).
2. Set the sawdust deflector switch (14) to the forward position.

Note: The switch should be in the rear position when the vacuum cleaner is not used, the cooling air from the motor will then be directed to blow the sawing line clean.

4. Operating tips

4.1 Preparations

• Measure and mark out the sawing line carefully before starting to cut.
- Small workpieces should be securely clamped. Make sure that the power supply cable does not impede working operations or come into contact with the blade during use.
- Check that the soleplate is locked at the required angle before you begin sawing.
- If you are unsure about the choice of blade speed or type of blade, test-cut a piece of scrap of the same material as the workpiece.

4.2 Sawing

• Hold the jigsaw in a firm grip. Make sure that the saw blade is not in contact with the workpiece and then pull the trigger to start the saw. Let the motor come up to speed before starting to cut.
• Never apply excessive forward pressure to the tool – always let the blade do the work.
• Keep hands in sight, do not hold hands under the workpiece where the blade cannot be seen.

4.3 Internal cuts

This operation should be undertaken with great care and should only be performed by experienced operators. Internal cutting is only possible in soft materials such as wood.

1. Rest the front of the soleplate on the workpiece and tilt the saw forwards. Make sure that the saw blade is not in contact with the workpiece.
2. Run the blade up to full speed and slowly pivot the saw so the blade starts to cut into the material, then slowly lower the entire soleplate onto the workpiece.

(Alternatively, a hole can be drilled in the material to provide a starting point for the blade.)

4.4 Sawing metal

• Be careful, the saw blade can easily bend.
• Use a finer toothed blade if the jigsaw vibrates a lot during operation.
• Lower the speed if the saw blade becomes very hot.
• The use of some kind of lubrication/coolant is recommended, e.g. alcohol for aluminium and cutting oil for steel.
• When cutting thin sheet metal, it is advisable to clamp the sheet to a sheet of thin plywood or similar on either side of the metal. Then saw through all the layers.
