speed control
Fig. 7
The speed of the saw can be controlled with the
rotary knob at the top of the jigsaw. The higher
the position, the higher the speed. The highest
position is 6. The ideal sawing speed will depend
on the profile and the tooth of the saw and on
the material you want to saw. For soft materials,
select a reasonably high speed and a coarse
tooth. If you want to saw hard materials, select a
lower speed and a fine tooth.
Dust-collection
To keep the work surface clean, the jigsaw is
equipped with a connection for dust extraction.
You can connect your vacuum cleaner to this. Use
the vacuum cleaner adapter supplied for this.
guard
The jigsaw is fitted with a guard. Make sure that
this guard is closed as much as possible while
the jigsaw is in use. This gives the best protection
against splinters and ensures optimum dust
extraction.

sawing
•
Switch on the jigsaw.
•
Place the bottom plate of the appliance on the
workpiece.
•
Move slowly towards the previously drawn
sawing line and press the jigsaw forward
slowly.
Press the bottom plate firmly against the
workpiece. If you do not do this the jigsaw is likely
to vibrate and the saw will break.
Let the saw do the work. Do not press
too hard on the jigsaw.
Cutting in
Fig.6
If the starting position of the workpiece to be sawn
is not the side, or if no hole has been drilled, you
must cut in. To do this, proceed as follows:
•
Put the saw on the rounded front of the
bottom plate.
•
Switch on the appliance and slowly lower the
saw until it touches the workpiece.
•
Let the saw cut into the workpiece gently
without forcing it.
•
When you are through the workpiece, take the
saw out of the hole.
•
Place the appliance in the normal position in
the sawn hole and continue the saw cut.
You can also cut in by first drilling a hole in the
workpiece. To do this, use a bit that makes a hole
big enough for the saw blade. Now you can carry
out the steps described under 'Sawing'.
5. MAiNTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
Maintain the jigsaw regularly to prevent
unnecessary problems. This will ensure that your
appliance remains in optimum condition
•
Keep the bottom plate clean so that no
inaccuracies occur during sawing.
•
Keep the outside of the jigsaw clean so that all
moving parts can move accurately and
without wear.
•
Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean
so that these do not overheat.
•
If the carbon brushes are worn the saw will
run noisily and unevenly. In the end the saw
will no longer work. Please contact the service
address on the warranty card.
•
Lubricate the saw blade guide regularly.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the motor. Regularly clean
the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably
after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from
dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a
soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use
solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water,
etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
