5.6 Line guide (Fig. 7-9/Item 6)
Using the line guide (6) you can carry out exact 
cuts following cutting lines marked on the 
workpiece. Fit the line guide by mounting the line 
guide (6) on the top of the soleplate (7) and letting 
it lock in place at the bottom, as shown in Fig. 7. 
Use the mark in the middle, see arrow, for the 0° 
angle setting (Fig. 8) and the mark on the left or 
right, see arrow, for the 45° angle setting (Fig. 9).
See point 5.4 for information about the angle 
setting.
Important! Carry out a trial cuts in a piece of 
waste wood.
5.7 Splinter guard (Fig. 10/Item 17)
The splinter guard ensures that the material 
you want to cut does not splinter or crack 
during sawing. Insert it into the soleplate from 
underneath as shown in Fig. 10.
Important! The splinter guard can be used only 
for 0° cuts and must be removed for miter cuts up 
to 47°!
6. Operation
6.1 On/Off  switch (Fig. 12/Item 3)
Switching on:
Press the locking button (2) and the On/Off  switch 
(3).
Infi nitely variable stroke speed control is possible 
with the On/Off  switch (3). The further you push 
the switch, the higher the stroke speed.
Switching off :
Release the locking button (2) and the On/Off 
switch (3).
6.2 Setting the pendulum action (Fig. 13/Item 
8)
• 
The strength of the pendulum action of the 
saw blade (12) can be adjusted using the 
selector switch for pendulum action (8).
• 
You can adjust the cutting speed, cutting 
performance and appearance of the cut to the 
workpiece 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.
6.3 Making cuts
Caution!
• 
Make sure that the On/Off switch (3) is not 
depressed. Only then should you connect the 
battery pack to the equipment.
• 
Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have 
fitted a saw blade.
• 
Use only saw blades that are in perfect 
condition. Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw 
blades immediately.
• 
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece 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.
6.4 Sawing out sections (Fig. 14)
Drill a 0.4 in. hole in the section you want to saw 
out. Insert the saw blade into this hole and start to 
saw out the required section.
6.5 Making parallel cuts (Figure 15)
• 
Mount the parallel stop and adjust as required 
(see section 5.3).
• 
Observe the instructions in section 6.3.
• 
Cut as shown in Fig. 16.
