ASSEMBLY:
Caution: : All assembling, mounting, disassembling and
removing should be done with the Jigsaw turned off.
Remove the power cord from the power supply.
TOOLBOD & CONTROLLER
Caution: BluCave offer both AC (powered) and DC
(cordless) operated Controllers and ToolBods. AC
ToolBods will only operate with an AC Controller and DC
ToolBods will only operate with a DC Controller.
For simple identification look for the appropriate
colour marking with green representing AC and orange
representing DC.
ASSEMBLING:
Align the fixed hook (Grey)
of the Controller into the
corresponding recess on the
underside of the ToolBod.
Once located and engaged,
close the two faces of the
Controller and ToolBod
together until they click into place. (It’s as easy as
Hook, Swing and Click) See Fig. 1.
DISASSEMBLING:
Ensure the Jigsaw is switched off before trying to
remove the Controller. Press the unlock symbol located
on the Controller and then turn the ToolBod away from
the Controller.
FITTING SAW BLADES
Ensure the blade is not damaged and always clean the
shank thoroughly before fitting.
Ensure the Jigsaw is disconnected from the power.
Use the supplied Hex key to loosen the two blade
securing bolts that are located behind the blade guard.
See Fig. 2. Do not loosen them
too far as the blade retaining
block may come off. Should
this happen, remove the blade
guard by gently leveraging it
to the side. Re-locate the
blade retaining block and bolts.
Replace the blade guard.
Use the supplied Hex key to loosen the two bolts
securing the shoe plate and guide wheel. See Fig. 5.
Slide the shoe plate and guide wheel back. See Fig. 6.
Insert the shaft of the blade through the base with the
blade tips facing to the front of the Jigsaw. Push the
blade in as far as it will go. See Fig. 3.
Ensure the notch on the blade has passed the guide
roller. Tighten the blade securing bolts using the Hex
key. Always check that the blade is securely fastened
in place. Slide the shoe plate back to its original
position and slide the guide wheel forward until it firmly
supports the blade. Tighten the two bolts that secure
the guide wheel and shoe plate. Test under no load to
ensure the blade is fitted correctly before use.
To remove the blade ensure the Jigsaw is disconnected
from the power then loosen the two blade securing
bolts and carefully remove.
Caution: The blade may be hot to touch after use.
Dust Extraction:
A vacuum device may be attached to the dust
extraction port by using the supplied vacuum adapter.
To attach the adapter align the lugs then insert and
rotate clockwise. See Fig. 4.
The adapter will aid in the removal of dust from around
the blade and the work zone.
Adjusting the shoe:
The Jigsaw shoe should always be kept flat against the
work piece. If you need to cut on an angle the shoe can
be tilted left or right between 0-45˚. Loosen the two
Timber:
Your Jigsaw is suitable for cutting a wide variety of
timbers. (Note: The maximum cutting thickness of
timber is 55mm.)
Metal:
Your Jigsaw is suitable for cutting light gauge metals
such as copper, brass, aluminium etc. It is advisable
when cutting sheet metal to clamp a backing sheet of
soft wood or plywood to the work as this will enable
you to obtain a clean cut without vibration and the
possibility of tearing the metal. (Both the metal and
wood backing should be sawn together.) Do not force
the cutting blade into the metal as this will reduce the
life of the blade and possibly damage the Jigsaw motor.
Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting a thick
piece of wood. (Note: The maximum cutting thickness
of metal is 6mm.)
Plastics:
It is advisable when cutting plastic to clamp a backing
sheet of soft wood or plywood to the work. This will
enable you to obtain a clean cut without vibration and
the possibility of cracking/shattering the plastic sheet.
(Both the plastic and the wood backing should be sawn
together.) (Note: The maximum cutting thickness of
plastic is 55mm.)
Pocket and Round Cutting:
To start cutting from the centre of a work piece, drill a
hole big enough to pass the blade through.
When cutting tight curves reduce the speed of the saw
and reduce your pressure/speed when progressing
the cut.
Switching On/Off
Ensure the Controller and ToolBod are correctly
connected and the saw blade is securely in place
before operating.
Plug the power cord into the power supply (and switch
it on if it’s switchable). The blue power indicator on
the Controller will illuminate once connected to the
power supply.
Squeeze the trigger to start the Jigsaw. Keep the trigger
depressed to keep the saw operating.
Release the trigger to stop the saw.
To provide stable speed, the power can be locked-on
by pressing the lock button on the Controller when the
trigger is completely depressed.
Squeeze the trigger fully to release the lock-on feature
then release the trigger to stop the saw.
Speed:
The Jigsaw is a variable speed ToolBod.
As you squeeze the trigger on your Controller the
speed will vary from slowest to fastest at maximum
depression. The trigger also has a variable speed dial
which may be pre-selected before switching on. Turn
the dial to `A’ for the lowest speed or up to `E’ for the
highest speed.
Low speed is ideal for soft or delicate materials and
when minimum power and greater control is required.
Medium speed is suitable when a balance of power and
control is needed.
High speed produces fast cutting when accuracy is
not critical.
STORAGE:
ToolBods come with their own unique storage dock for
compact and protective housing inside the BluCave
Carry Cabinets See Fig. 9
CLEANING/SERVICING:
Cleaning/Servicing:
Before cleaning remove the power cord from the power
supply. The Jigsaw can be wiped over with a damp cloth
but must be completely dry before operating. Ensure
the ventilation slots, plus the ToolBod and Controller
connectors are kept free from dust. The dust cover
can be removed and the area blown out after each
use. Have your power tool
serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical
replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

OPERATION:
Caution: Check that the voltage of your power supply
matches the specified voltage on the ToolBod and on
the Controller. If the voltages of either the ToolBod or
Controller do not match the power supply voltage do not
use the unmatched item/s.
Caution: Always ensure that the cord guard is extended
and the tool is not used with it in the `storage’ position.
See AC Controller instructions for details.
Note: Always wear a dust mask as harmful dust may be
generated while working.
Cutting:
Your Jigsaw can cut a wide variety of materials such as
timber, plastics, foams and metals. Ensure you select
the correct blade type for the material.
For harder materials a smaller tooth size will be
necessary and for softer materials a larger tooth
can be used for faster cutting. This is an important
consideration when choosing your blade as different
timber, metal and plastic will have different densities.

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 (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 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. 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 influence 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 finger 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.
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 qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
WARNING Read all safety warnings designated by the
symbol and all instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING SPECIFIC TO JIG SAW
OPERATIONS
a. Hold power tool 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.
b. Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
c. Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback
when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
d. Pay attention that the base plate rests securely on
the material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can
break or lead to kickback.
e. When the cut is completed, switch off the machine
and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it
has come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid
kickback and can place down the machine securely.
f. Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or Blunt
saw blades can break or cause kickback.
g. Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be
damaged, break or cause kickback.
h. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas
line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
i. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
j. Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam
and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
k. Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
l. Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves
m. When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in
such a manner that no persons or animals can be
injured by the ejected saw blade.
n. Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one’s health and cause allergic
reactions, lead to respiratory infections and/or
cancer. Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked by specialists.
o. As far as possible, use a dust extraction system
suitable for the material.
p. Provide for good ventilation of the working place. It is
recommended to wear a P2 filterclass respirator.
q. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for
the materials to be worked.
r. Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
s. Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the
power source must agree with the voltage specified
on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
t. The contact protector attached to the casing
prevents accidental touching of the saw blade during
the working procedure and may not be removed.
u. Before sawing in wood, particle boards, building
materials etc., check for foreign objects, such as
nails, screws, etc. and remove them as required.
v. Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials,
such as wood, gypsum board, etc.
w. Adapt the settings of your power tool to the
respective application. For example, reduce the
stroke rate and orbital action when cutting metal or
for tight curved cuts.
x. When working small or thin work pieces, always use a
sturdy support or a saw table (accessory).
y. In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as
far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently
and install a residual current device (RCD). When
working metals, conductive dust can settle in the
interior of the power tool. The total insulation of the
power tool can be impaired.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable
for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised
customer service agent. The replacement plug should
have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The
severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a
mains socket elsewhere.
