• Secure the guide at this distance with the socket head screws.
If the required distance between saw cut and side is 5 cm, set the indicator ‘5’ on the guide
exactly above the saw blade.
• Tighten the socket head screws again.
Cutting in
Fig. 9
If the starting position of the workpiece to be sawn is not the side, or if no hole has been drilled,
you must cut in. To do this, proceed as follows:
• Put the jigsaw on the rounded front of the bottom plate .
• Switch on the appliance and slowly lower the jigsaw until it touches the workpiece.
• Let the jigsaw cut into the workpiece gently without forcing it.
• When you are through the workpiece, take the jigsaw out of the hole.
• Place the appliance in the normal position in the sawn hole and continue the saw cut.
You can also cut in by first drilling a hole in the workpiece. To do this, use a bit that makes a hole
big enough for the saw blade. Now you can carry out the steps described under 'Sawing'.
During maintenance and cleaning always remove the mains plug from the socket.
Never use liquids when cleaning electrical parts of the jigsaw.
Maintain the jigsaw regularly to prevent unnecessary problems. This will ensure that your
appliance remains in optimum condition:
• Keep the bottom plate clean so that no inaccuracies occur during sawing.
• Keep the outside of the jigsaw clean so that all moving parts can move accurately and
without wear.
• Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean so that these do not overheat.
• If the carbon brushes are worn the jigsaw will run noisily and unevenly. In the end the jigsaw
will no longer work. Have the carbon brushes replaced by an authorized service centre.
• Lubricate the saw blade guide regularly.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents such
as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the warranty
card. In the back of this manual you find an exploded view showing the parts that can be ordered.
