5.2 ADJUSTING THE SOLEPLATE
• The soleplate (8) can be tilt adjusted 45° (left or right) in relation to the saw perpendicular to facilitate contour
sawing.
• Loosen the two clamping screws (B) under the soleplate using the hexagon key (A) supplied with the tool,
adjust the soleplate to the desired angle and re- tighten the screws (B).
• The angle can be set using a marked scale on top of the soleplate.
• This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, one straight and three orbital.
• Orbital action has a more aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood or
plastic.
• Orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a rougher cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade
moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up and down motion.
NOTE : Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action.
• To adjust the cutting action, moves the pendulum regulation control (9) between the four cutting positions: 0,
1, 2, and 3.
• Position 0 is the straight cutting.
• Positions 1, 2 and 3 are orbital cutting.
• The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the control is moved from 1 to 3, with 3 being the most
aggressive cut.
• Never use a blade unsuitable for the task and item to be cut.
• Hold the saw in front of you with a firm grip on the handle.
• Ensure that the saw blade is not touching anything and that the power cable is not in the way when starting
the saw.
• Make sure that the item is clamped tight, and that the saw line is clearly marked. Connect the vacuum
extractor nozzle to an extractor system where possible.
• Start the saw. Place the soleplate on the item, and let the saw blade touch the saw line.
• Saw, but do not place more pressure on the blade than is necessary. Avoid lateral pressure on the blade.
5.3 SAWING WOOD
• Check that the item does not contain nails or other metal objects. Always wear a mask.
5.4 SAWING METAL
• We recommend lubricating the material and saw blade with cutting oil to protect the tool and avoid
overheating. Support the item securely with wooden blocks.
IMPORTANT! Check all screws on the saw regularly, particularly those that hold the blade.
Tighten if required.
