Viewing from directly above the jigsaw, the line of cut (16)
can be easily followed. Should this view be restricted for any
reason, the laser can be used as an alternative cutting guide.
Use a pencil to mark the cutting line (16).
Position the jigsaw over the line (16).
Switch on the laser.
Operating the work light (fig. K and L) ('W' units only)
Units that include a 'W' in the catalogue number are provided
with an LED light (18) to illuminate the area around the
blade.
To switch the work light on, slide the switch (19) to the
on position (I).
To switch the work light off, slide the switch (19) to the
off position (0).
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate
is sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade
that cuts on the downward stroke or:
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut
through this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
