5.4 Adapter for dust extraction system
(Figure 5/Item 6)
•
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner
using the adaptor for dust extraction (6). This
will provide excellent dust extraction on the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will pro-
tect both the equipment and your own health.
Your work area will also be cleaner and safer.
•
Dust created when working may be dange-
rous. Refer to the section entitled “Safety
instructions”.
•
Attach the adaptor (6) as shown in Figure 5,
so that it is securely seated in the housing.
•
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner
onto the adaptor opening (6). Check that the
connections are airtight.
6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3)
To switch on:
Press the ON/OFF switch
To switch o:
Release the ON/OFF switch
6.2 Locking button (Fig. 6/Item 2)
You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the lo-
cking button (2) when the equipment is in operati-
on. To switch o the equipment briey hold down
the ON/OFF switch (3).
6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 6/Item 1)
You can pre-select the required speed with the
speed selector. Turn the speed selector in PLUS
direction 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 ne
saw blades whilst coarser saw blades require
lower speeds.
Position MIN-2 = low stroke speed (for steel)
Position 3-4 = medium stroke speed (for steel,
soft metal, plastic)
Position 5-MAX = high stroke speed (for soft-
wood, hardwood, soft metal, plastic)
6.4 Making cuts
•
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.
6.5 Sawing out sections (Fig. 7)
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.
6.6 Making miter cuts
•
Set the angle on the soleplate
(see section 5.3).
•
Observe the instructions in section 6.4.
•
Cut as shown in Figure 8.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
authorized 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.
8.1 Cleaning
•
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
