GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power
tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated jigsaw
1) Work area safety Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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 the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

HELPLINE NO 08454 505299
2) Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal njury.
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional operation
of the device. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting tools e.g.
allan keys before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a moving part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the On/Off switch does not work!
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories , or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR JIGSAW
Securely support the work piece. Use
clamps or a vice to grip the work piece firmly. This is much safer than holding it in your hand.
Always switch on the electric power tool
before placing it against the work piece. There is a risk of kickback.
Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the insert tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire can make metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding the worksite.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups can cause injury.
Keep your hands away from the area of
the saw blade. Do not grip the underside of the work piece. Contact with the saw blade may result in the risk of injury.
Make sure that the base plate ( 9) lies on
the work piece when sawing and is set to the desired angle.
If a dangerous situation arises, immediately
remove the plug from the mains socket.
Always work with the mains lead leading
away from the rear of the device.
Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily or cause kickback.
When removing the blade from the tool avoid contact with the skin and use proper protective gloves when touching the blade or accessory. Accessories may become hot after
prolonged use.
CAUTION!
Noxious fumes!
noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the work area. Do not saw materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
Wear protective glasses and a dust mask!
Do not saw materials containing substances harmful to health.
• When sawing wood and in particular when
working on materials that give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health, the device must be connected to a suitable dust extraction device.
• Make sure you have adequate ventilation.
• Do not work on moistened materials or
damp surfaces.
• Switch off the electrical power tool after
completing each stage of work but do not withdraw the saw blade from the cut until after it has come to a standstill.
• Use only undamaged, defect-free saw
blades. Distorted or blunt saw blades can break or cause a kickback.
• Always keep the device clean, dry and free
of oil or grease.

• Turn the quick-action chuck (11) lever and
keep it turned. Place the blade in the chuck so it locates in the roller guide (8).
• Push the required saw blade (13) up to the
stop .The saw blade (13) should click into
place.
• Let go of the quick-action chuck lever: the
lever should return to its original position automatically locking the saw blade in place.
If the lever does not return to its original position the blade is not positioned correctly and requires pushing further into the chuck.
2) Removing blade
WARNING! Blades can get very hot
during use. Avoid direct contact with the saw blade and let it cool down first.
• This jigsaw has an automatic eject function
on the quick release chuck.
• Hold the saw so that the saw blade (13)
points towards a protected area (work surface or wall). Do not point in the direction of other people.
• Turn the quick release chuck (11) clockwise,
the spring mechanism of the chuck will eject the blade automatically.
3) Dust extraction
The jigsaw is equipped with a suction device so that the dust and chips can be extracted.
Insert the dust port into the rear of the jigsaw. This is done by inserting the port (4) with the two tabs in the grooves located on the jigsaw and turning it counterclockwise to lock it in place. Remove the device by turning it clockwise and pull it from the device. Attach the dust extraction hose to the port of a suitable vacuum cleaner.
4) Using the Parallel Guide The parallel guide can only be used for work pieces with a maximum thickness of 30 mm.
For parallel cuts, first you will need to fix the guide (17) as follows:
• Remove the locking screws (15) and insert
the scale of parallel guide through the guide (16) in the bottom plate.

Adjusting the cutting speed:
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed dial (9). The blade stroke rate may be adjusted
during the cutting operation by setting the dial
on or between any one of the six numbers.
Setting SPM rating (strokes per minute): 0-1 Low stroke rate--- Application: steel 2-3 Medium stroke rate--- Application: soft metal, hardwood 4-5 High stroke rate--- Application: plastic
and softwood
Further control of the speed can be achieved
by increasing or reducing the pressure on the
trigger switch (2) enabling smooth stroke-rate control of the machine.
switch (2) is locked, it is not possible to reduce the stroke rate.
for a particular application are determined by practical experience, though as a general rule, slower speeds are for denser materials and faster speeds are for soft materials.
As described above, the required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the working conditions and can be determined by a
practical trial.
Reducing the stroke rate is recommended for when the saw blade first engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic and aluminum. After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine can heat up considerably. Remove the saw blade from the machine and allow the machine to cool down.

Adjusting the Pendulum Stroke
The pendulum action can be adjusted with the pendulum action switch (7), even during operation.
Set the pendulum action switch (7) on one of the following positions: Position 0 = No oscillation Material: rubber, ceramic, aluminum, steel Note: For fine materials and clean cut, thin materials (sheets)
Position 1 = minor oscillation Material: plastic, wood, aluminum Note: For hard materials
Position 2 = medium oscillation Material: Wood
Position 3 = strong oscillation Note: For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the grain
The best combination of speed and pendulum action is dependent on the material to be processed. We recommend always determining the ideal settings by using a sample cut from a piece of scrap

Sawdust Extraction device
With the air flow of the sawdust extraction feature (14) the cutting line can be kept free of dust and chips.
Switching on the sawdust blowing device:
For cuts in materials with high removal rate, such as in wood, plastic, etc., push the switch (14) towards the vacuum connection.
Switching off the sawdust blowing device:
For cuts in metal and when a dust extraction system e.g vacuum cleaner is connected, push the switch (14) towards the saw blade.
Adjusting the base (see fig.4)
The base ( 6) can be swiveled by ±45° for mitre cuts. Loosen the two bolts in the base (6) by using the allan key supplied for the saw. Slide the base back to disengage the incremental lock and tilt the base (6) to the desired angle. There are increments of 15 ° on the scale. Fix the base by sliding it forward until the incremental lock engages and tightening the two bolts firmly.
Ensure that the base is set at 0° when using the laser guide or the line will not be true.

CUTTING GUIDANCE
Standard cutting
When using the laser guide for cutting ensure that the laser is on and lines up with the groove marked centrally on the base plate. Check the base plate is located fully and locked firmly in place in the forward position.
Choose appropriate saw blade (13) and set the base (6) at 0° so that the saw blade is at 90° with the base. Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the mains. Mark the cutting line on the work piece (good side down) .Place the jig saw flat on the work piece. Plug the power plug into the wall outlet. Switch on the jigsaw until it reaches full speed. Then the blade goes forwards slowly along the cutting line while applying light pressure on the saw.
Never force the jigsaw forward as this will twist the blade and cause the cut to be off line. Simply allow the jigsaw to do the work and move the jigsaw forward to maintain contact between the blade and work piece.
Bevel or angle cutting
WARNING: To prevent damage to the tool during bevel or angle cutting, the scroll wheel mechanism must be locked in place (using pendulum position 0) with the cutting edge of the blade facing the front of the tool.
Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the mains. To adjust the base (6) to the desired angle (refer to the description on Page 13. Mark the cutting line on the work piece (good side down) .Place the jig saw flat on the work piece. Plug the power plug into the wall outlet.
HELPLINE NO 08454 505299
Switch on the jigsaw until it reaches full speed. Then the blade goes forwards slowly along the cutting line while applying light pressure on the saw.
Parallel cutting
Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the mains. To fit the parallel guide, please refer to the description on Page 10. There is a scale from 0-15 cm on the guide. Set the desired cutting width. Tighten the locking screws. Plug the power plug into the wall outlet. Put the fence along the work piece and switch on the jig saw until it reaches full speed. The blade will progress forward slowly along the cutting line while applying light pressure on the saw.
Plunge cutting
Using a drill driver make a sufficiently large hole in the work piece to give the blade sufficient flexibility. Put the blade into the hole and then switch on the saw until it reaches full speed. When the base (6) seats flat on the work-piece, continue sawing along the desired cutting line.
Circular cutting
Circular cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting. Plunge cutting is possible only with the mitre angle set at 0°.
• Select the maximum stroke rate.
• Place the machine with the front edge of the
base (6) on to the work piece so the saw blade (13) is not in contact with the work piece and switch on.
• Firmly hold the machine against the work
piece and by tilting the machine, slowly plunge the saw blade into the work piece. The leading edge of the base plate (6) is acting as the pivot, make sure that you can change the pivot position if required
