Frequently Asked Questions - 42500 Power Craft

How do I change the saw blade?

Disconnect the saw from the mains. Lift the blade guard (5), and slacken the two blade screws using the Allen key (13). Remove the old blade, insert a new one with teeth pointing upwards, and ensure the back of the blade fits in the groove of the wheel (a) at the back of the blade holder. Lower the blade guard, and check that the blade is correctly positioned. Retain the Allen key in its holder.

How do I adjust the soleplate for bevel cuts?

Loosen the two Allen bolts under the soleplate (10). Adjust the plate to the desired angle (up to 45°) and retighten the screws. The angle can be read on the scale on top of the soleplate.

How do I set the pendulum action?

Use the pendulum regulation knob (11) to select one of three settings. Use a low pendulum speed or switch off for fine cuts, switch off for thin materials like sheet metal, low for hard materials like steel, and maximum for soft materials and sawing with the grain.

How do I use the dust extraction feature?

Connect the dust exhaust (12) to an extraction system using the supplied adapter.

What is the maximum cutting depth of this jigsaw?

The maximum cutting depth is 80 mm.

Can I cut metal with this jigsaw?

Yes, but you should lubricate the material and saw blade with cutting oil to protect the tool and avoid overheating. Support the item with wooden blocks on either side.

How do I lock the saw for continuous operation?

Press the lock button (3) after starting the saw. To release the lock, press the on/off button (4) fully in.

What type of blade should I use?

Use blades suitable for the material being cut. Ensure blades are not cracked, blunt, or damaged. The teeth should point upwards when installed.

How should I maintain the jigsaw?

Regularly check all screws, particularly those holding the blade. Check carbon brushes for wear and replace if worn down. Clean the saw with a well-wrung cloth, keeping ventilation holes and soleplate free of dirt.

What safety precautions should I take?

Do not cut pipes or cables. Only hold the saw by its insulated handle. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Wear a face mask if dust is generated. Never remove obstructions while blade is moving. Do not stop the blade by applying pressure. Wait for the blade to stop completely before placing the saw down. Do not touch the blade until it has cooled.

Special safety precautions

Do not use for cutting pipes or cables.

Do not use cracked, blunt or damaged blades.

Do not start the saw if no blade is fitted.

Check there are no obstructions in/on the surface under the item to be cut.

Do not attempt to cut items thicker than the maximum cutting depth of the blade, or where there is insufficient space for the blade under the item.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The saw's metal parts may become conductive if the saw comes into contact with a live wire. Therefore only hold the saw by its insulated handle.

Check that the ventilation slots are not blocked.

Always use a face mask if excessive amounts of dust are generated or cutting harmful materials.

Never remove dust, obstructions or the like from the work area while the blade is operating.

Never stop the saw blade by applying pressure to the saw or to the side of the blade.

Do not lift the saw from the item being cut if the blade is still running.

Never place the saw on a table or workbench if it has not stopped completely. The saw blade will continue to run a short time after the machine has been switched off.

Do not touch the blade or metal filings until they have cooled.

Replacing saw blades

Disconnect the saw from the mains.

Lift blade guard (5), and slacken the two blade screws using the Allen key (13).

Remove the blade from the holder (6), insert a replacement and retighten the screws. The teeth should point upwards and the back of the blade must fit in the groove of the wheel (a) at the back of the blade holder.

Lower blade guard.

Pull the saw blade to check that it is correctly positioned and locked in place.

Connect to mains electricity.

Retain Allen key in holder on saw to avoid losing it.

Use

Adjusting the soleplate

The soleplate (10) can be adjusted 45^ in relation to the saw direction to facilitate contour sawing. Loosen the two Allen bolts under the soleplate, adjust the plate to the desired angle and retighten the screws.

Angle set can be seen on scale on top of soleplate. Setting the parallel guide

Fit parallel guide (9) to soleplate. Fasten at distance required from sole by tightening the two adjustment screws (8).

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Dust extraction

Connect dust exhaust (12) to extraction system (if available) using adapter supplied.

Start, stop and speed control

Adjust the saw's maximum speed by turning the speed selector switch (2) to the desired position. Speed can also be adjusted whilst saw is in use.

Check blade guard is lowered.

Start the machine by depressing the on/off button (4).

The blade will move up and down.

The saw can be kept running for long periods by pressing the lock button (3). The lock button can be released by pressing the on/off button in as far as it will go.

Switch off by releasing the on/off button.

Adjusting the pendulum regulator

The saw blade pendulum (counterweight) has three settings which can be selected using the pendulum regulation knob (11). The settings can be used to adjust cutting speed to the type of material to be cut.

• Use a low pendulum speed or switch the function off if a very fine cut is required.
• Switch the function off if working on very thin materials, such as sheet metal.
• Use a low setting if working on hard materials, such as steel.
• Use the maximum setting when working on soft materials and when sawing with the grain.

General

Never use a blade unsuitable for the task and item to be cut.

Hold the saw in front of you with a firm grip on the handle (1).

Ensure that the saw blade is not touching anything and that the power cable is not in the way when starting the saw.

Make sure that the material is clamped tight, and that the saw line is clearly marked.

Start the saw. Place the soleplate on the item, and let the saw blade touch the saw line.

Saw, but do not place more pressure on the blade than is necessary. Avoid lateral pressure on the blade.

Special notes on jig sawing

Place the soleplate on the item so the saw blade is vertical and correctly positioned in relation to the saw line without touching it.

Start the saw and tilt it carefully while supporting it using the soleplate until the blade touches the item at the saw line.

Let the blade work through the item, continuing to tip the saw downwards until the sole is flush to the item and the blade is perpendicular to it. If necessary, drill a hole of suitable diameter in the item for use as starting point.

Sawing wood

Check that the item does not contain nails or other metal objects.

Sawing metal

We recommend lubricating the material and saw blade with cutting oil to protect the tool and avoid overheating. Support the item with wooden blocks on either side.

Sawing plastic

Never cut using maximum speed.

Make a test cut first to check if the material can tolerate the heat generated by sawing.

Sawing masonry

Harmful dust can be caused by cutting certain materials. Always wear a mask.

Maintenance

Check all screws on the saw regularly, particularly those that hold the blade. Tighten if required.

Check regularly that the carbon brushes are in a good condition. If the carbon brushes are worn down, they should be replaced.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Cleaning

Wipe the saw using a well-wrung cloth after use, and always keep the surface and ventilation holes (12) free of dirt. Keep the soleplate free of dirt to avoid the saw cutting incorrectly.

Never use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, as they may attack the plastic parts of the saw.

Environmental information

You can help protect the environment! Follow local environmental regulations: Dispose of unwanted electrical equipment at an approved refuse disposal centre.
