Safety

Read and understand all safety warnings before using the tool.

• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.

• Do not use this product if it is not completely assembled or if any parts appear to be missing or

damaged. Use of a product that is not properly and completely assembled could result in serious

personal injury.

• Inspect the tool carefully to make sure no breakage or damaged occurred during shipping.

• If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate this tool until the missing parts are replaced. Use of

this product with damaged or missing parts could result in serious personal injury.

• Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any

alteration or modification is misuse that will void product warranty and could result in a hazardous

condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

• To prevent accidental starting that could cause injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool

when assembling parts.

• Keep the tool and all components away from children.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating power tools.

• Keep the work area clean and well lit

• Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times. Keep hands and body parts away from

moving parts and use safety guards.

• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or its operation to use the tool.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye and ear protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-

skid safety shoes and hard hat should be used in appropriate conditions.

• Only use parts and accessories recommended by manufacturer.

• Do not modify any part of the tool or its safety mechanisms.

• Do not use in ambient temperatures above 40°C (104°F).

• Do not use the tool outside of its operating parameters. For example, cutting extremely hard materials.

• Blades are sharp and may become hot during use – wear suitable protective gloves when handling

blades.

• Kick-back – "Kick-back" is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade. If the

reciprocating blade becomes pinched or digs into in the work-piece, the blade may stall and the motor

reaction can drive the tool rapidly back toward the operator – this is highly dangerous. To help avoid

kick-back:

• Always maintain a firm grip with both hands on the tool and position your arms to resist kick-back

forces.

• If blade is binding, or when stopping a cut before completing it for any reason, release the trigger and

hold the tool motionless until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw

from the work-piece or pull the tool backward while the blade is in motion. If binding occurs,

investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of binding.

20V Cordless Jigsaw JS2

• When restarting the tool with the blade in the work-piece, centre the blade in the cut and check that

the teeth are not engaging the material.

• Support large work-pieces to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kick-back. Large work-pieces

tend to sag under its own weight. Supports must be placed under the work-piece on both sides of the

cut, near the line of cut and near the edge of the work-piece.

• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Dull or improperly set blades produce reduced clearance in the

cut, causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-back.

• Ensure that the work-piece does not contain objects, such as nails etc that can cause kick-back.

• Keep hands away from the cutting area and blade – always use both hands to hold the tool when cutting.

• Never hold the work-piece being cut in your hands or across your legs, body etc. Always secure the

work-piece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work-piece properly to minimize body

exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

• Hold the tool by the insulated handles only when cutting to help reduce the possibility of electrical shock

should the tool make contact with "live" wires.

• Always use blades of the correct size and type. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware may

fall out during cutting.

Battery and Charging Safety

• Use only with the batteries and battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

• Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting.

• Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components.

• Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal

injury may result.

• Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat; for example, direct sunlight and fire.

• Explosion hazard – do not short-circuit the battery.

• Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection) may cause irritation or burns. Under extreme

conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery – avoid contact. If contact occurs, flush with water. If

eye contact occurs, flush with clean water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention.

• Care when charging. Make sure cord for the battery charger is located so that it will not be stepped on,

tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the battery charger if it has a

damaged cord or plug.

• Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner.

Servicing

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that safety of the tool is maintained.

Intended Use

• Cutting suitable materials (wood, plastics etc).

Batteries and Battery Charging

Batteries for this tool are supplied in a low-charge condition for shipping reasons. • A battery that is

new or has not been used for a long period does not charge to full capacity until after approximately

5 charge/discharge cycles. • Do not recharge batteries after using them if they are not to be used for an

extended period of time. • Recharge batteries only as and when required. • If the battery is warm after use,

allow it to cool before charging, otherwise it may not fully charge.

The battery packs can be recharged again and again. However, rechargeable batteries eventually need to

be replaced. A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is no longer

serviceable and should be replaced. Discard old batteries in an environmentally responsible manner.

Charging

The battery charger has a charge status LED indicator:

• Red - Battery charging.

• Green - Battery fully charged.

1. Plug the battery charger power supply into a 240VAC mains

electrical outlet and switch the supply ON.

2. Slide the battery fully into the battery charger. The indicator LED on the battery charger will be red to

show the battery is charging. The indicator will become green when the battery is fully charged

(approximately 1 to 1.5 hours).

3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger from power supply, then press and hold the

battery release button and simultaneously slide the battery pack from the charger.

Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack

Insert the battery pack into the tool handle until it "clicks" into place.

To remove the battery pack, press and hold the battery release

button (A) and simultaneously pull the battery from the tool.

Operation

Setting Bevel Angle

Blade cutting angle can be set anywhere in the range of 0

(perpendicular) to 45° in either direction from centre.

1. Remove the battery from the tool.

2. Loosen (rotate left) the 2 base plate (A) locking screws (B).

3. Hold the tool firmly, then rotate the base plate to alter cutting

angle.

4. Use the bevel guide (C) markings and reference arrow (D) to

set the required angle.

5. Tighten (rotate right) the base plate locking screws.

6. Re-install the battery and cut as required.

Using the Dust Port

The tool comes equipped with a dust port (E) that can be used to help collect

sawdust etc created by the tool. Connect a suitable vaccuum cleaner hose or

dust bag to the port when using the tool.

Setting the Cutting Action

Do not use "orbital" cutting actions for harder materials, such as hardwoods and metal.

The tool has 4 cutting actions – 1 straight and 3 "orbital". Orbital actions moves the blade forward during the

cutting stroke, producing a faster cutting action, however, with a rougher finish. Orbital cutting is best suited

to softer materials such as soft woods and plastics. Settings are:

0 – Straight Cutting.

1 – Orbital: Least Aggressive.

2 – Orbital: Medium Aggressive.

3 – Orbital: Most Aggressive.

To set the cutting action, rotate the cutting action selector (F) to the

required setting.

Cutting

Fully understand all operational safety warnings before using the tool.

1. Secure the work-piece and ensure nothing is directly below the cut line.

2. Bring the tool up to the work-piece so the front of the

base plate is resting on it, but not so that the blade is

touching the work-piece.

3. Ensure that the blade is aligned with the cut line.

4. Hold the tool firmly using both handles (G and H) –

always use both hands to hold the tool.

5. Press the trigger safety switch (I) using your finger in

and hold it in.

6. Pull the trigger (J) to activate the tool – blade speed is

controlled by how much you pull the trigger.

7. Gently tilt the tool forward until the blades begins

cutting. Allow the blade to cut into the work-piece and gradually lower the rear of the tool until the blade

is vertical and the base plate is flat against the work-piece. Then, using a steady down and forward

pressure continue the cut. Maintain sufficient pressure so the blade is cutting freely, however, is not

over-loaded or chattering (do not force the tool).

8. Continue the cut until complete, then release the trigger and allow the blade to stop completely before

withdrawing the blade.

Guidelines for Use

General Cutting

• When cutting across the grain, wood fibres have a tendency to lift and tear, slower cutting may help reduce

this effect.

• When cutting laminates and other materials where it is important not to damage the surface finish, place

tape over the work-piece along the cut-line to help minimise scratching or splintering of the top surface.

• Use slower speeds for cutting harder materials and ensure the blade type is suited to the material.

Generally, blades for harder materials have more teeth.

• When cutting metal, it is recommended to apply a suitable lubricant to the blade during cutting; for

example, cutting oil for ferrous metals.

• When cutting plastics, use blades and speeds that will not over-heat and melt the plastic during cutting.

• Do not apply lateral (sideways) pressure to the blade.

• When cutting curves, cut more slowly to help reduce binding.

• When cutting internal shapes, drill suitable holes to allow the blade to be inserted and cut from there.

• Do not use "orbital" cutting actions on harder material, such as metals and hardwoods.

Cutting Large Work-Pieces

• Large sheet or boards require suitable support on either side of the cut to help prevent bending or sagging

of the material. If the work-piece bends where it is being cut, the blade will have a tendency to bind,

possibly causing kick-back. Support the work-piece close to the cut and on both sides of the cut line.
