Working with the machine

X
Push the saw blade [6-4] into the opening as far
as the stop with its teeth in cutting direction [6-
2].
X
Turn the saw blade [6-4] approx. 30° clockwise
until it engages.
The guidance jaws adjust automatically to the saw
blade used.
Check that the saw blade is secure. A loose
saw blade can fall out and cause an injury.
L In the case of very short saw blades, it is advis-
able to remove the saw table (see chapter
Changing saw table) before inserting the saw
blade.
Ejecting saw blade
L When ejecting the saw blade, hold the electric
power tool such that no persons or animals can
be injured.
X
Push the saw blade ejection [6-3] forwards as
far as the stop.
If the saw blade is not ejected: run jigsaw 3 - 10
seconds at a high speed. Actuate saw blade ejector
mechanism [6-3] once again.
When working, hold the electric power tool by the
handle and guide it along the desired cutting line.
For precise cuts and smooth running, use two
hands to guide the electric power tool.
Freely guided sawing along a scribe mark
The triangular shape of the splinterguard [4-1]
points to the cutting line of the saw blade. This fa-
cilitates sawing along a scribe mark.
Switch on/off
The electric power tool has one button [1-2] on
each side for switching on/off.
The PSBC 400 EB also has a variable speed trigger
[1-3] with switch lock [1-4]. For continuous opera-
tion, use the button [1-2].
