6.2 Locking button (Fig. 11/Item 3)
You can lock the On/Off switch (3) using the

ration. To lock the On/Off switch (3), press the On/

6.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 12/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 appropriate stroke speed depends on the
material you want to cut and on the working con-
ditions. The general rules for cutting speeds in
metal also apply.
While you can generally use a higher speed with
fi ne saw blades, lower speeds are required for
coarse saw blades.
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)
6.4 Setting the pendulum action
(Fig. 13/Item 8)
•
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, cutting
performance and appearance of the cut to the
work piece you want to saw.
Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to
one of the following positions:
Position A = no pendulum action
Material: Rubber, ceramic, aluminium, steel
Please note: For fi ne clean cuts, thin materials
(e.g. sheet steel) and hard materials.
Position B = small pendulum action
Material: Plastic, wood, aluminium
Please note: For hard materials
Position C = medium pendulum action
Material: Wood
Position D = 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 want to saw.
We recommend you to make a trial cut on a waste
piece in order to check the ideal settings.
6.5 Dust-blower function (Fig. 7 / Item 6)
A current of air can be activated to keep the cut-
ting line free of dust and chips.
•
To activate, slide the switch for the dust-
blower function (6) to the back.
•
To deactivate, slide the switch for the dust-
blower function (6) back to the front.
6.6 Making cuts
•
Ensure that the On/Off switch (3) is not de-
pressed. 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 work piece you
want 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. Exert only gentle
pressure on the saw blade as you do so.
•
When cutting metal, apply a suitable coolant
along the line you want to cut.
6.7 Sawing out sections (Fig. 14)
Drill a 10 mm hole in the section you want to saw
out. Insert the saw blade into this hole and start to
saw out the required section.
6.8 Making parallel cuts
•
Mount the parallel stop and adjust as required
(see section 5.3).
•
Observe the instructions in section 6.6.
•
Cut as shown in Fig. 15.
