Turning the Jigsaw On/off
To turn on the jigsaw, squeeze the trigger. To turn off, release the trigger. The
tool can be locked on for continuous use by squeezing the trigger fully and
depressing the lock button, gently release both the lock on button and the
trigger, the tool will continue to operate. To turn the tool off from a locked on
position, squeeze and release the trigger once. Do not unplug from the power
supply with the switch in the locked on position. Always turn the tool off before
disconnecting from the power supply.
Warning! A tool with the switch locked on will start immediately when
plugged in to a live power supply. Always make sure the switch is in the
released position prior to connecting the tool to a power supply.
Variable Speed Dial
The dial is incorporated into the trigger switch. The maximum speed of your
tool can be changed by rotating the variable speed dial to the desired
setting. The dial not only lets you select the speed to suit the job, but in
doing so saves the blade from undue wear.
The variable speed dial can be set so the maximum speed of the tool is
limited anywhere from 500 - 2,900 spm.
Adjusting the Shoe
The shoe (base plate) should always be kept flat against the work piece when
performing a cut. Should a bevel (angle) cut be required the shoe can be
accurately tilted to angles between 0º - 45º left or right.
Before performing any adjustments ensure
the tool has been switched off and is
disconnected from any power supply.
Turn the jigsaw upside down and remove
the allen key from the holder on the
tool-end of the power cord. Loosen the
two allen key bolts anti clockwise (fig. 1).
Align the holes (as shown in fig 1). The
shoe can then be tilted between 0 and
45° left or right. Refer to the bevel scale
(fig. 2) for the marked angles of 0, 15, 30
or 45°. To secure in the chosen angle align
the line corresponding with number to the
housing of the tool and tighten the two
allen key bolts clockwise. The angle set in
fig 2 is 45° left.
