Manual MICROMOT Jigsaw STS 12/E General: This very lightweight and powerful machine is ideal for curved cuts in wood up to 3/8” (10 mm), circuit boards up to 7/64” (3 mm) and non-ferrous metals up to 3/32” (2,5 mm) thickness. Its weight makes it easy to handle and thus allows for precise control of the cutting action.

Manual MICROMOT Jigsaw STS 12/E Inserting and changing the saw blade (fig. 2): Do not connect the saw to the power supply before inserting the blade and remove the plug from the adapter, when changing the saw blade during operation! Fig.
A material oriented speed/stroke can be adjusted by turning the control knob 1. Use higher speeds for wood, aluminum, brass and circuit boards, lower speeds for plastics, specially thin materials and very delicate work pieces. Important: Only sharp and faultless saw blades will guarantee adequate cutting results.
