Using The Blade Guard; Fitting The Vacuum Adaptor; Setting The Pendulum Action - jcb JSBD-JS2 User Manual

USING THE BLADE GUARD

Warning: Ensure that the blade guard is in the lower
position when operating the jigsaw. If the base plate
is positioned to make an angle cut make sure that the
base plate is in the lowest possible position. Do not
use the jigsaw without the blade guard.
FITTING THE DUST EXTRACTION
PORT ADAPTOR
The jigsaw is supplied with a dust extraction port and a dust
extraction port adaptor. It may be necessary to fit the adaptor
before connecting to a
vacuum cleaner.
The adaptor has a bayonet
fitting. Push the adaptor into
the dust extraction port and
twist it to secure it. The dust
extraction will be most
efficient when the blade
guard is in the lower
position.

SETTING THE PENDULUM ACTION

The 4 stage, pendulum action is designed to give the most efficient
cutting action in a variety of materials.
To set the pendulum action, rotate the
adjuster to the desired setting. When the
correct setting is selected, the blade
achieves maximum penetration on the
upward cutting stroke and is lifted back,
away from the material, on the downward
non-cutting stroke. This gives improved
quality of cut, and longer blade life. The
table below shows the recommended
settings.
