Original Instructions
To remove the blade

Angle adjustment
Fig.3a & 3b
The jig saw shoe plate can be angled to enable bevel or chamfer cuts.
WARNING: Always ensure the tool is switched off and the plug is removed before making any adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
1. Turn the product upside down.
2. Use the hex key to loosen the hex screws securing the blade guide assembly and the shoe plate.
3. Move the base plate backwards so that the teeth on the plate no longer engage with the retaining teeth and the shoe can be
tilted to the left or right. Choose ±45°, ±30°, ±15°or 0°.
4. Push the shoe plate forwards so that the teeth on the plate mesh with the retaining teeth.
5. Re-tighten the hex screws.
For accurate work it is necessary to do a practice cut first. Check the cut and reset the angle until the correct cut is achieved. The
blade guide supports the blade when cutting and must always rest against the back of the blade.
Parallel guide

The parallel guide fits into the shoe plate and is locked in place by the parallel guide locking screws.
It is used to guide the jigsaw along a straight line, which can be an edge of a workpiece or a piece of straight timber clamped to
the workpiece.
Use the hex key to loosen the two screws and insert the parallel guide, and then tighten the two screws.
