GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their
operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably
lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the
operator or damage to property, may result.
1. ALWAYS Learn the machines’ applications, limitations and the specific potential
hazards peculiar to it. Read and become familiar with the entire operating manual.
2. ALWAYS use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly dusty.
3. ALWAYS check for damage. Before using the machine, any
damaged part, should be checked to ensure that it will operate
properly, and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other
condition that may affect the machines’ operation. Any damage

exceed 85dB (A).
2. ALWAYS use the appropriate saw blade for the material being cut.
3. ALWAYS keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure an
adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by
the length of the cable.
4. ALWAYS switch the machine OFF immediately the task is completed.
5. ALWAYS ensure the blade is fully tightened before use.
6. ALWAYS allow sufficient clearance beneath the work to ensure the blade does not
come into contact with the floor, table etc.
7. NEVER allow the ventilation slots in the machine to become blocked.
8. DO NOT cut hollow pipe and do not cut material above the specified thickness.
9. DO NOT cut through walls or cavities before checking for hidden electrical wires or
water pipes etc.
10. DO NOT remove tool from work until the blade has completely stopped.
11. DO NOT touch the blade immediately after use, allow time for it to cool.
12. DO NOT cut work less than at least twice the pitch of the saw blade. i.e. at least two
teeth must be in contact with the work at all times.
13. DO NOT use the machine if the electric cable, plug or motor is in poor condition.
14. When cutting wood, ensure all nails have been removed beforehand. Nails will
damage the wood saw blade.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
OPERATION
This product is provided with a standard 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz), BS 1363 plug,
for connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug
need changing at any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is
used.
WARNING!
This appliance is double insulated, and the two wires in the mains lead should
be wired in accordance with the following colour code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
•
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter “N”
• Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter “L”
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to the electric cable
(i.e. non-rewireable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is
a danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket
outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the
correct replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
JIGSAW TIPS
• Ensure your cutting line is free from nails before you start cutting.
• If you are not making a cut all the way through the workpiece, allow the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing it from the
workpiece
Wood
• Use a pencil to draw a cutting line on the wood.
• Select the correct speed and pendulum setting for the wood being cut.
• Allow the jigsaw to reach full speed before applying it to the wood.
Metal
• Use blades designed for cutting metal.
• Take your time, do not force the blade, it will take longer to cut metal
than wood.
• If possible clamp the workpiece to a backing sheet of plywood.
• Spread a thin film of oil along the cutting line.
• Allow the jigsaw to reach full speed before applying it to the metal.
• Do not attempt to cut hollow pipes.
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local Clarke
dealer or most electrical stockists.
FUSE RATING
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (5 amps)
and this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt any electrical
repairs yourself.
CABLE EXTENSION
Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this
tool (see specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same
size as that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind
the cable completely. If using tool outdoors, only use extension cables
intended for outdoor use.

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE
WARNING!
Before adjusting the cutting angle, make sure that the mains plug
has been removed from the mains supply.
1. Loosen the base plate screws using
the hexagonal key provided.
See Fig 3
2. Tilt the base to the required angle.

4. Re-tighten the base plate screws to
secure the base plate.
You should double check the angle using a
protractor before use.
DUST EXTRACTION PORT ADAPTOR
This jigsaw has a dust extraction port to
enable you to connect it to a vacuum
cleaner. This will minimise the amount of
airborne dust generated during cutting.
To fit the dust extraction port adaptor:
1. Push the dust extraction port adaptor
into the dust extraction port.
2. Twist clockwise to secure into
position.
WARNING!
If the cutting operation is dusty, we recommend that you use a dust
mask.

PENDULUM ACTION
When the pendulum action is selected, the blade achieves maximum
penetration on the upward cutting stroke and is lifted back, away from the
material, on the downward non-cutting stroke. This gives improved quality of
cut, and longer blade life.
To set the pendulum action, rotate the pendulum action switch to the desired
setting.
The table below can be used to select the correct settings.
This is only a
recommendation, you should always make a test cut on a scrap piece of
material first.

VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR
The variable speed selector is used to control the speed of the jigsaw.
• The higher the number selected the faster the stroke rate of the blade.
• The stroke rate should be changed according to the material being cut.
This is only a recommendation, you should always make a test cut on a
scrap piece of material first.
