Initial Operation; Dust Extraction; Switching On/Off - IVT JS-400 Instruction Manual

saw blade and/or adjusting the base plate.
∙ Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Replace
immediately cracked, bent or dull cutting tools.
∙ The saw blade must be locked in its mount absolutely
securely. Check every time it is securely seated.
∙
When removing the saw blade from the tool avoid
contact with skin and use proper protective gloves.
∙
After switching off, do not force the saw blade to a
stop by applying side pressure.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure that all
components are included. Refer to the drawings on this
manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please call
an IVT assistance center.

INITIAL OPERATION

Always use the correct supply voltage: the power supply
voltage must match the information quoted on the tool
identification plate.
INSERTING / REPLACING THE SAW
BLADE (4)
ATTENTION! Before any work on the
machine itself, pull the mains plug.
CAUTION! Wear gloves when you
change or insert a new saw blade (4).
∙
Use the hex key (8) to loosen both holding screws
on the stroke rod.
∙
When inserting the saw blade (4) (teeth in cutting
direction), take care that the back of the saw blade rests
in the groove of the guide roller (5).
∙
Tighten holding screws again. The shafts of all
conventional saw blades fit in the universal saw blade
holder. [F1]

DUST EXTRACTION

Dust extraction prevents large accumulations
of dust, high concentration of dust in the
ambient air and facilitates disposal.
For long periods of working with wood or for
commercial use on materials that produce dust that is
detrimental to health, the machine is to be connected to
a suitable external dust extraction device.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sawing
∙
Before sawing, make sure that the saw blade (4)
is seated correctly and put the front guard (3) down as
far as possible.
∙ The base plate (6) of the jig saw must lie securely
on its entire surface.
∙
Do not force the saw; this cause the saw blade (4)
to overheat and bend and/or break.
∙
If material to be cut is thin, place it on an additional
board/plate to dampen vibrations and improve cutting.
∙ For long cuts, lubricate the guide roller (5) now and
then with a few drops of oil and let the machine cool
down.
∙
Wait until the saw blade (4) has come to a standstill
before you put the device down.
Cutting angle adjustment
∙ To set the saw for bevel and angled cutting, undo
the holding screws of the saw base with the hex key and
push the base back out of its rest position.
∙ Set the cutting angle by angling the base to the
right or to the left.
∙ Tighten firmly both holding-screws. [F3]
Plunge sawing
ATTENTION! Only soft materials such
as wood, aerate concrete, plaster
board, etc may be worked with the
plunge method.
Cut-outs in wood are possible without predrilling by
piercing with the running machine. This requires certain
amount of practice, however, and is possible only with
short saw blades.
∙ Place the front edge of the base plate on the
workpiece and switch on.
∙ Press the machine firmly against the workpiece and
