NOTE
When using pendulum strokes, cutting edges
may splinter more than when working with
linear strokes. Brittle coatings on soft sub-
strates - e.g. laminated board are particularly
prone to this occurring.
Dust Collection
The jig saw can produce a lot of sawdust. By
connecting the machine to a vacuum cleaner, a
clean and dust free operation is possible.
NOTE
Dust extraction is not possible for mitre cuts.
Slide the dust nozzle (3) all the way into the
m
opening until the snap-in nose visibly and
audibly locks into place.
Connect the dust nozzle with a vacuum
m
cleaner or dust extractor.

Instruction & User Manual
NOTE
When sawing wood it is best to use an addi-
tional dust protection mask as wood dust is a
health hazard.

Parallel Stop

To cut parallel to a wood edge you can use
the enclosed parallel stop. In order to fix the
parallel stop:
Loosen the fastening screws (8) slightly.
m
Using the scale on the parallel stop, you can
m
adjust the distance between the stop bar
and the saw blade.
Secure parallel stop by tightening the
m
fastening screws in the desired position.
When not using the parallel stop, tighten the
m
fastening screws securely. Otherwise the
screws can be unscrewed and fall off due to
the vibration of sawing.

Maintenance

WARNING!
Switch off the power tool and disconnect
the power (remove battery/unplug) before
cleaning and maintenance. This helps avoid
the risk of electric shocks and accidental
starting.
Wipe the power tool with a dry or damp
m
cloth. Do not use a wet cloth. Do not
use detergent that contains solvent
or corrosive, abrasive additives. This
risks damaging the surfaces of the power
tool.
