Switching On And Off; Operating Tips; Internal Cuts - Cocraft Pro Edition JT18-P Original Instructions Manual

Switching on and off

Switching on: Slide the trigger lock (1) to the right to unlock the power trigger (2). The blade
speed is controlled by the amount of pressure on the power trigger.
Switching off: Release the trigger to switch the saw off.

Operating tips

Preparations
• Measure and mark out the sawing line carefully before starting to cut.
• Small workpieces should be securely clamped. Make sure that the power supply cable
does not impede working operations or come into contact with the blade during use.
• Check that the soleplate is locked at the required angle before you begin sawing.
• If you are unsure about the choice of blade speed or type of blade, test-cut a piece
of scrap of the same material as the workpiece.
Sawing
• Hold the jigsaw in a firm grip. Make sure that the saw blade is not in contact with
the workpiece and then pull the trigger to start the saw. Let the motor come up to
speed before starting to cut.
• Never apply excessive forward pressure to the tool – always let the blade do the work.
• Keep hands in sight, do not hold hands under the workpiece where the blade
cannot be seen.

Internal cuts

This operation should be undertaken with great care and should only be performed by
experienced operators. Internal cutting is only possible in soft materials such as wood.
1. Rest the front of the soleplate on
the workpiece and tilt the saw forwards.
Make sure that the saw blade is not in
contact with the workpiece.
2. Run the blade up to full speed and slowly
pivot the saw so the blade starts to
cut into the material, then slowly lower
the entire soleplate onto the workpiece.
(Alternatively, a hole can be drilled in the material to provide a starting point for the blade.)
