9. BASIC JIGSAW OPERATIONS
9.5 PARALLEL GUIDE – FIG.7
If the material to be cut has a straight edge, the
supplied parallel guide (5) can be used as an aid
to track the straight edge.
− Pass the parallel guide through the points in
the base.
− Tighten the two parallel guide locking bolts (4)
to secure the guide firmly.
Make a test cut on a scrap piece of timber prior
to making any cuts on the work piece and adjust
accordingly.
Note: When not in use, tighten bolt (4) to prevent
them vibrating loose and getting lost.
9.6 DUST EXTRACTION – FIG.8
Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to
health. The dust extraction outlet (7) must be
connected to a suitable dust extraction device.
− The saw is supplied with a dust extraction
adaptor (12) that slots onto the dust extraction
outlet (7). This enables the saw to be
connected up to a suitable dust extraction
device.
Warning! All wood dust (including dust from
composites like chipboards and fibre boards etc.)
is hazardous to health. It can affect the nose, the
respiratory system and the skin. For example MDF
(medium density fibreboard) which contains
formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In addition to
the above measures a correctly fitted dust mask,
suitable for the activity and in accordance to the
relevant standard, must be worn.
− Contact Draper Tools for details of the
comprehensive range of professional CE
marked face masks available – all conforming
to EN specifications.
