Check the blade is correctly positioned in the guide roller and that is sure is secure in the blade holder.
Dust exhaust
(see picture 9a- 9b)
Insert the extraction nozzle into the dust extraction opening at the rear of the saw and twist anticlockwise to
secure. (Clockwise to remove.) Attach a standard vacuum cleaner hose and let the vacuum collect the dust as
you saw. Always use a face mask, even when using the vacuum extraction system.
Pendulum action control
(see picture 6)
The pendulum stroke action can be adjusted using the pendulum knob located on the left hand side of the jig
saw, near the blade.
There are four marked settings: 0, 1, 2 and 3
Indications of the best pendulum stroke setting for a particular job are given below:
Sheet metal 0
Steel 0
Plywood 2-3
Aluminium 0
Plastics 1-2
Wood 2-3
Angle sawing
(see picture 12a - 12d)
The jig saw can be used to cut at various angles by adjusting the base plate.
Before adjusting the base plate, ensure that the jig saw is unplugged from the mains.
To adjust the base plate, loosen the hexagon bolt on the underside of the jig saw using the hexagon key.
Slide the base plate forwards, incline it at the desired angle (range: 15°, 30°, 45°)
Tighten the hexagon bolt using the hexagon key.
Operate the same way as for straight cutting, ensuring that the base plate is firmly held flat against the work
piece.
Straight cutting
(see picture 11a - 11d)
Ensure the work piece is firmly secured in a vice or workbench.
Mark a line on the work piece through which the cut is required.
Start up the jig saw and place the front of the base plate onto the work piece.
Align the blade with the cutting mark on the work piece.
Slowly move the jig saw forward along the cutting mark. Press the jig saw down firmly onto the work piece to
prevent the blade from snagging or breaking.
Allow the tool to work at its own pace, letting the blade cut freely - do not force the tool. Increasing pressure
will not result in a faster cut.
Choose an appropriate blade according to the required job and finish, depending on the type and thickness
of the material. Large teeth will give a quick, coarse cut and small teeth will produce a quality finish.
When cutting thin board, place it on a wood board to help absorb vibrations.
