OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction
book carefully.
INTENDED USE:
The machine is intended for sawing wood, plastic,
metal and building materials while resting firmly on the
workpiece. It is suitable for straight and curved cuts with
bevel angles to 45°. The saw blade recommendations are
to be observed.
1.ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool. (See Fig. A)
2. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON
Depress on/off switch (2) then lock-on button (3) (See
Fig. B), release on/off switch first then lock-on button
second. Your switch is now locked on for continuous
use. To switch off your tool just depress and release on/
off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or decrease the
speed (See Fig. C) according to the material, material
thickness and blade specification to be used (also
possible during no load operation). See Chart 1 for
general guidance on speed selection.
Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as this may
damage your jigsaw’s motor.

Material Speed setting
Wood 5-6
Metal 3-4
Aluminum 3-5
PVC 3-4
Ceramic 3-5
4. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst operating
your jigsaw.
5. ALLEN KEY STORAGE
The allen key (5) is placed at the power cable sheath (See
Fig. D).
6. BLADE FITTING (See Fig. E)
NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
To fit blade firstly use the allen key provided to loosen
the blade set screws on the blade holder. The blade’s
cutting edge should be facing forward. Insert the blade’s
mounting portion into the groove in the blade holder until
it touches the bottom of the holder. Then firmly tighten
the set screw as shown in Fig. E.
NOTE: To fit the blade firmly, do not insert the blade over
the line. (See Fig. G)
WARNING: Blade teeth are very sharp. For best
cutting results ensure you use a blade suited to
the material and cut quality you need.
7. ROLLER GUIDE (See Fig. F)
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the
groove (See Fig. F) otherwise the pendulum function will
not work correctly and the blade will not be supported
during cutting.
8. MOUNTING PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig. H1, H2)
Slide the parallel guide arm through both parallel guide
fixtures and tighten the locking knob (a) to achieve the
required cutting distance. The parallel guide can be
mounted in two positions as shown in H1 and H2.
9. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL (See Fig. I)
The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of
the blade for increased cutting efficiency. This can also
be adjusted during no load running. Refer to the chart 2
for more details. Do not use excessive blade force when
cutting with the pendulum action. The blade cuts on the
upward stroke only.
Chart 2
0 Thin materials. Fine cuts. Tight curves.
I Hard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)
II Thick materials ( e.g. wood ) & plastic
III
Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in the
direction of the wood grain.
10. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (7) enables bevel
cutting. The base plate must always be held firmly
against the materials being cut to reduce saw vibration,
blade jumping or blade breakage.
11. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Use an Allen key (5). Loosen the bolts securing the
base plate (See Fig. J). For preset angles, rotate so the
lines of the angle on the base plate and angle plate
