FITTING THE BLADE

8
To fit the blade to the jigsaw, proceed as follows.
1. Slide the blade guard to the upper position.
2. Loosen the two cup headed blade securing screws, using the
hexagonal key provided. Access to the two blade securing
screws can be gained through the slots in the front of the
blade guard.
3. Make sure that the blade teeth are facing forwards.
4. Push the blade shank as far as it will go into the blade
locating clip.
5. Slightly tighten the two blade securing screws alternately, to
position the blade.
5. Ensure that the blade is straight.
6. Fully tighten the two blade securing screws.
7. Push the blade guard down to the lower position.
If replacement blades are needed, standard plane, parallel
shank, 90 mm saw length blades are generally available from
most good DIY/tool stores.
Warning: Ensure that the jigsaw is disconnected
from the mains supply before fitting, or removing the
blade, or making adjustments to the base plate, the
blade support roller, or the parallel fence guide.
Warning: Use only sharp and undamaged jigsaw
blades. Do not use blunt, bent, cracked, or damaged
blades.
