GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable 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.
Unmodied 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.

EN-3
Important - Please read these instructions fully before starting assembly
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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) 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
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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) 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.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch
or energising 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 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 dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.

EN-4
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 cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power
tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools
. Such preventive 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
tool’s 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, 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
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

EN-5
JIG SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold reciprocating saw by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.

VIBRATION INFORMATION
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 62841:
Cutting boards Vibration emission value ah,B= 6.931 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s²
Cutting steel metal Vibration emission value ah,M = 17.279 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s²
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of
workpiece is processed dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is
used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use of the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration and noise accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may signicantly reduce the
exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration and noise exposure risk.
Always use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration and noise accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

EN-12
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
Intended Use
The machine is intended for sawing wood, plastic, metal and building materials while resting rmly
on the workpiece. It is suitable for straight and curved cuts with bevel angles to 45°. The saw blade
recommendations are to be observed.
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool. (See Fig. A)
2. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON
Depress on/off switch (2) then lock-on button (3) (See Fig. B), release on/off switch rst then lock-on
button second. Your switch is now locked on for continuous use. To switch off your tool just depress and
release on/off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the thumb-wheel to increase or decrease the speed (See Fig. C) according to the material,
material thickness and blade specication to be used (also possible during no load operation). See
Chart 1 for general guidance on speed selection.
Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as this may damage your jigsaw’s motor.

4. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a rm grip whilst operating your jigsaw.
5. HEX KEY STORAGE
The hex key (5) is placed at the power cable sheath (See Fig. D).
6. BLADE FITTING (See Fig. E)
NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
To open the blade holder rotate the ring clockwise (Jigsaw upside down) and hold in position. 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. To remove a
blade, holds the blade and rotate the blade holder ring clockwise then lift out the blade (blade could be
spring ejected).
NOTE: For best cutting results, ensure that you use a blade suited to the material
and cut quality you need.

EN-13
WARNING: Blade teeth are very sharp.
● When the holder is rotated, the blade will be ejected.
● Aim the machine so that the blade is ejected away from yourself and other people.
7. ROLLER GUIDE (See Fig. F)
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the groove (See Fig. F) otherwise the pendulum
function will not work correctly and the blade will not be supported during cutting.
8. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL (See Fig. G)
The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of the blade for increased cutting efciency. This
can also be adjusted during no load running. Refer to the chart 2 for more details. Do not use excessive
blade force when cutting with the pendulum action. The blade cuts on the upward stroke only.
Chart 2
0Thin materials. Fine cuts. Tight curves.
IHard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)
II Thick materials ( e.g. wood ) & plastic
III Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in the direction of the wood grain.
9. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (7) enables bevel cutting. The base plate must always be held
rmly against the materials being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping or blade breakage.
10. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Use a hex key (5). Loosen the bolts securing the base plate (SEE FIG. H). For preset angles rotate so
the lines of the angle on the base plate and angle plate (8) superposition at the desired angle (0°, 15°,
30°, 45°) (SEE FIG. I). For other mitre angles, rotate to your desired angle (use a protractor scale).
Following one of the above procedures, hold the base plate in position and rmly tighten the bolts to
clamp the base plate at that angle. Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate is rmly 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. VACUUM ADAPTER (SEE FIG. J)
Mount the vaccum adapter (6) into the opening of the base plate (7). Make sure that the plastic tip of the
vacuum connection engages into the corresponding opening on the housing as shown in the gure.
12. FINGER PROTECTION
The nger protection is located in front of the blade holder. Whilst working, it will help prevent accidental
contact with moving blade.
13. 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 ow to continually blow dust away from the cutting area.

EN-14
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR JIG SAW
If your jig saw 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.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut. Always ensure the work–
piece is rmly 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 face of the work piece. Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-
visible surface when your work is nished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a ne 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 waste wood during cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles
PLUNGE SAWING
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster
boards, etc.
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch on. Press the machine rmly against
the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work piece, continue to saw along the
cutting line. (See Fig. K, L)
METAL CUTTING
Use a ner 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 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.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts

EN-15
in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a
dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all
working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is
normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Waste electrical products must not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where
facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
