Electrical safety
•
When using electric machines always
observe the safety regulations applicable in
your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. Read the following
safety instructions and also the enclosed
safety instructions.
•
Keep these instructions in a safe place!
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Class II machine – Double insulation –
You don't need any earthed plug.
replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It is
dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in
the wall outlet.
using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable
for the power input of the machine. The minimum
conductor size is 1.5 mm
reel always unwind the reel completely.
3. AssEMBLY
Applications
The jigsaw can be used to cut workpieces of
various materials (wood, aluminium, plastic, metal
etc.) precisely to size and in any desired shape.
The maximum thickness of the workpiece is 65
mm (for wood).
selecting the saw
Fig.2
The profile and the teeth vary according to the
material that you want to saw. A fine tooth will
give you a smooth and precise saw cut. Use a
narrow profile if you want to saw curves or if you
are going to saw figures. To select the right saw,
proceed as follows:
•
First of all try a saw with coarse teeth.
•
If you don't get a smooth and precise saw cut,

. When using a cable

try a saw with a finer tooth.
•
For plastic, aluminium and steel always use a
saw with a very fine tooth.
In general you will work faster but less precisely
with a coarse tooth than with a fine tooth.
For an optimum result always make sure the
saw is sharp. The jigsaw is suitable for all
commercially available saw blades.
Assembling saw
Fig.3
Before assembling the saw check that
the mains plug has been removed from
the socket.
To assemble the saw, proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the socket head screw (B) with the
allen key (A) supplied.
•
Place the saw (C) in the saw buckle. Make
sure that the teeth point upwards and forward.
The smooth side of the saw must rest against
the wheel.
•
Push the saw as far into the buckle as possible.
•
Secure the saw by tightening the socket head
screw (B) again. Make sure that the socket
head screw is tightened evenly so that the
saw blade sits correctly in the saw buckle. A
crooked blade can result in an unsatisfactory
cut.
•
Push the guard down.
Adjusting the bottom plate
Fig.4
Adjust the angle of the bottom plate (A) as follows:
•
Loosen the socket head screws (B) with the
Allen key supplied.
•
Pull the bottom plate back slightly to unlock it.
•
Turn the bottom plate to the right or left in the
desired sawing angle. You can read this on
the protractor (C). The maximum sawing
angle is 45º.
•
Push the bottom plate forward again to
interlock it.
•
Tighten the socket head screws (B) again.
Operation
Fig.5
Press the switch in to put the jigsaw into
operation. The switch can be interlocked with the
interlocking knob. This is done as follows:
•
Press the switch in.
•
Keep the switch pressed in and press the
