SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORK AREA
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d. 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 or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. 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. f. Use a residual circuit breaker on all 230V power tools. This can help minimise the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.
g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully unwound and that its length is less than 30m. Lengths over 30m will effect the tools
performance as a result of voltage drop.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a. 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 injury. b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
Page 5
650W PENDULUM JIGSAW
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f. 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.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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. b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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. e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repairperson using only genuine replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
6. HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with, this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint). You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.

6. TOOLFREE BLADE HOLDER
You can only use the blade type shown in fig 1. To open the blade holder rotate the ring anti-clockwise (jigsaw upside down) and hold in position (See Fig 5). Then fully insert the blade into the blade holder slot with blade teeth facing forward and release the ring, which will self rotate and clamp over the top of the blade. Push the blade into the blade holder again to ensure it is locked in position. Ensure the edge of the blade is located in the groove of the blade guide (See Fig 6). To remove a blade, hold the blade and rotate the blade holder ring anti-clockwise then lift out the blade (blade could be spring ejected).
Warning: blade teeth are very sharp.
For best cutting results ensure you use a blade suited to the material and cut quality you need.
7. BLADE GUIDE
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the groove (See Fig 6) otherwise the pendulum function will not work correctly and the blade will not be supported during cutting.
8. BLADE GUARD
The blade guard (8) should always be in place when the jigsaw is used.
9. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate enables bevel cutting. The base plate must always be held firmly against the material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping or blade breakage.

10. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Using an Allen key, loosen the bolts securing the base plate (See Fig 8). For preset angles, slide the base plate fully to the front and rotate so the fingers on the base plate and housing interlock at the desired angle (0,15,30,45) (See Fig 9). For other mitre angles, slide the base plate partially to the front and rotate to your desired angle (use a protractor scale). For 90
o
angle, slide the base plate fully to the rear. Following one of the above procedures, hold the base plate in position and firmly tighten the bolts to clamp the base plate at that angle. Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped. The angle markings on the base plate are accurate for most general purposes but it is recommended for accurate work to set the angle with a protractor and make a test cut on other material.
11. PARALLEL GUIDE FIXTURES
Slide the parallel guide arm through both fixtures to achieve the required cutting distance and tighten both screws to lock into position.
12. DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTOR
The adaptor slides inside the base plate and locks in position by a clip into the base plate (See fig
10). The adaptor must then be connected to a suitable external dust extraction machine. The connection can be on the outside dia 40mm or inside dia 36-34mm of the adaptor.
13. PROTECTION FINGER
This finger is located in front of the blade holder. Whilst working, it will help prevent accidental contact with moving blade (See fig 11).
14. DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE
This is a small aperture located underneath the housing just behind the blade guide. Ensure this is kept clean to allow the air flow to continually blow dust away from the cutting area.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR JIGSAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There is no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. For easier control, use low speed to start cutting, then increase to correct speed. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or edges of your work piece. When cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a non visible surface when your work is finished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood materials. To reduce edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at both ends on both sides and cut through the wood during cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles.
METAL CUTTING
Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse tooth blade for non-ferrous metals. When cutting thin sheet metals always clamp wood on both sides of the sheet to reduce vibration or tearing of the sheet metal. Both wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not force the cutting blade when cutting thin metal or sheet steel as they are harder materials and will take longer to
Page 14
cut. Excessive blade force may reduce the life of the blade or damage the motor. To reduce heat during metal cutting, add a little lubricant along the cutting line.
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
PLUG REPLACEMENT
The fuse in the main plug of your power tool should always be replaced with one of identical rating. Check the voltage given on your power tool matches the supply voltage. The power tool is supplied with a fitted plug, however if you should need to fit a new plug follows the instruction below.
IMPORTANT
The wire in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
