loose saw blade can fall out and cause an
injury.
If the saw blade is very short, it is advisa
ble to remove the saw table (see section
8.4 ) before inserting the saw blade.

Adjust the saw blade guide after every saw
blade change
The saw blade guide was designed to improve
guidance of the saw blade.
► Remove the saw table (see section 8.4
).
► Tighten the screw [4-2]
using the hex
key [4-1]
until the jaws are almost touching
the saw blade.
NOTICE
Damage to the machine or saw blade
► Do not tighten the screw [4-2] too much. It
must be possible to move the saw blade
slightly.

Ejecting the saw blade
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the
power tool such that no persons or ani
mals can be injured.
► Push the saw blade ejection [3-3] forwards
as far as the stop.
Saw blade ist thrust out mechanically.
A tool change is only possible when the
tool holder is located in the upper position.
When changing the saw blade is not possible:
Let the jigsaw run at a high speed for 3–10 sec
onds. Actuate the saw blade ejection [3-3]
again.
8.2 Using the chip guard
The chip guard [3-1] prevents chips from flying
away and improves the efficiency of the chip ex
traction system.
► Apply slight pressure to push the chip
guard [3-1] downwards.
8.3 Inserting the splinterguard
The splinterguard prevents the edges of the
material from splintering during the cut, even
at the end where the saw blade exits the mate
rial.
► Switch off the machine and slide the splin
terguard [5-1] onto the guide [5-2] and up
to the saw blade.
► Switch on the jigsaw.
► On a level surface, slide in the splinterguard
(not using your hand!) while the machine is
operating until it is flush with the front edge
of the saw table (speed setting 5). This cuts
into the splinterguard.
When it is worn, push the splinterguard
approx. 1/8" (3 mm) further to the rear and
continue using it.
To guarantee reliable operation of the
splinterguard, it must seal tightly on both
sides of the saw blade. A new splinter
guard should therefore be fitted after ev
ery saw blade change to guarantee splint
er-free cuts.
