en ENGLISH
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

6. Commissioning
Before plugging in, check to see that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated
on the rating label, match your power supply.
Never operate the machine without a saw
blade.
Australia: Always use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
6.1 Fitting the anti-splintering footplate
insert
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
Remove the saw blade before fitting (8) the anti-
splintering footplate insert.
Turn the machine over so that the footplate faces
upwards. Insert the anti-splintering footplate from
the front, ensuring the following:
• The smooth side of the footplate faces upwards.
• The slot is facing to the rear (towards the mains
cable).

If you wish to work with the protective plate attached
(see chapter Accessories 10.), fit the anti-splintering
footplate insert in the protective plate.
6.2 Inserting the saw blade
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still
be hot. Wear protective gloves.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material
being sawn.
- Push the clamping lever (1) forwards up to the
stop and release (the clamping lever remains
open).
- Insert the saw blade (3) up to the stop. Ensure that
the saw teeth are facing forwards and the blade is
seated correctly in the groove on the saw blade
support roller (2).
- Push back the clamping lever (1) to its original
position (the saw blade is now clamped securely
in position).

the front until it engages
Removal: Grip both sides of the protective cap (9),
lift slightly, then pull forwards and remove.
6.4 Sawing with dust extraction
- Connect a suitable extraction device to the
extractor connection piece (17). Use a suction
hose with a 30 mm connector diameter.
- Attach the protective cap (9) for maximum
extraction efficiency.
- Switch off the chip blower (see chapter 7.1).
6.5 Sawing without dust extraction
- Work with the protective cap (9) removed
(see Removal chapter 6.3).
6.6 Diagonal cuts
Remove the protective cap (9), anti-splintering
footplate insert (8) and extraction hose. These parts
cannot be used for diagonal cuts.
- Slacken the screw (4).
- Slid the footplate (5) forwards slightly and turn.
- Then slide the footplate (5) forwards or backwards
and engage in one of the detents (the detents can
be viewed through the semicircular opening at the
rear of the footplate (5).) The preset angle is
indicated on the curved support plate (18) on the
footplate. Adjust to different angles using an angle
gage.
- Tighten the screw (4) again.
6.7 Sawing close to the wall
Remove the protective cap (9), anti-splintering
footplate insert (8), circular-cutting and parallel
guide. These parts cannot be used when sawing
