CEL POWER8workshop JS02 User manual

Measure and mark cuts allowing for the width of the cut, KERF.
Let the saw reach full speed before allowing blade to contact work piece.
Choose a sharp good quality blade that is suitable for your material and
type of cut, see below. Keep sandpaper handy to finish cut surfaces.
To reduce kickback make sure your blade is long enough so that even at
the top of the up stroke it is visible on the other side of the material.
Clamp your work so it cannot be moved by the stroke of the jigsaw, this
will make it safer and your cut will be cleaner and more efficient.
Check both sides of the cut, blades can flex in the material and go off line
easily. Also check for objects in the path of the blade.
Cover the sole plate with masking tape or similar to prevent scratching.
Choosing the right blade
TPI means Teeth Per Inch, also know as TOOTH SPACING measured tip
to tip. KERF is the width of the cut. DRAFT indicates the blade is thicker at
the teeth edge than the back edge, this helps to prevent jamming and
allows the blade to cut curves but will also make it harder to cut a straight
line. Blades described as THIN indicate the distance from teeth edge to
back edge, a THICK blade will assist in a straight cut. Tooth patterns:
MILLED, longer lasting, good for general use and hard woods, give a
rougher cut than; GROUND, sharper teeth that wear quickly but give a
clean finish and a faster cut; GROUND TAPERED and GROUND SIDE
give good and excellent curve capabilities respectively; REVERSE CUT,
cut on the down stroke. These reverse cut blades are ideal for laminated
surfaces such as kitchen work surfaces but make the jigsaw much harder
to control as they push the sole plate away from the work piece.
Wood
For fast straight cuts with a rough finish use a THICK blade with large
~3mm~ TOOTH SPACING (~10TPI).
For a smooth finish use a blade with more teeth (20-30TPI)
Metal
Soft metals can sometimes be cut with a wood blade.
Harder metals and pipes can require a specialized blade. Usually over
20TPI, with a MILLED WAVY tooth pattern for a good finish and long life.
Heat buildup may harden some metals, use oil or water to keep cool.
Plastic, perspex, plexiglass
Support with a plywood or similar to prevent sagging. Cover the cut area
with masking tape to prevent splitting and aid in marking up. Use a
GROUND tooth blade ~24TPI keep pressure and speed constant to
prevent melting, pausing with the motor running will cause heat buildup.
Use water to keep cool.

Additional Safety Rules
When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety
goggles, ear protection, suitable dust mask and protective clothing
including safety gloves • Check the workpiece for any protruding nails,
screw heads or anything that could damage or obstruct the blade • Do not
force the jigsaw, let the jigsaw do the work • Do not try and cut a curve
that is too tight. This will put undue pressure on the blade causing it to
snap • Never use the saw near flammable liquids or gases • Ensure the
blade is held tightly by the quick release system but can run freely in the
blade guide. Adjust the blade guide as necessary for each blade • Allow
the jigsaw to stop completely before removing it from the workpiece •
Keep hands away from cutting area and blade • Do not reach
underneath the workpiece • If you are interrupted when operating the
saw, complete the process and switch off before looking up • Always hold
the saw on parts that are insulated. If you accidentally cut into
hidden wiring or the saw's own cable, the metal parts of the saw will
become “live” • Ensure the blade is held tightly by the quick release
system but can run freely in the blade guide. Adjust the blade guide as
necessary for each blade

To connect a POWERhandle
Grip the front of the jigsaw firmly and align the rails of
the jigsaw with those of the POWERhandle. Slide
together and press in firmly until you hear a “click” as
the locking catches fire into place.
Note, before using briefly activate the jigsaw to ensure
the blade is centred and secure. If there is any binding
or unusual movement then loosen and re-fit.
To remove a POWERhandle
Hold the front of the jigsaw firmly and slide the Release
Catch back on both sides to withdraw the locking
catches. Slide the jigsaw and handle apart.
To start the Jigsaw
Press the Safety Switch from either side and hold while
pressing the Variable Trigger. The safety switch can be
released once the jigsaw is running.
Note, this jigsaw is compatible with the
POWER8workshop and can be combined with the
POWER8 case and Post to create a scroll saw. See the
manual included with the case to fit the jigsaw to the
case.
Note, always secure your work in a way that allows the
blade to move freely below the cut material and so that
the work piece does not jam the blade between cut
edges.
Note, firm pressure keeping the sole plate on the work
piece will prevent the jigsaw from kicking back if the
teeth on the blade suddenly catches in the work piece.
Warning, take extra care to prevent fingers and other
objects coming into contact with the blade, especially on
the other side of materials being cut.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN
OPERATING POWER TOOLS
Sharp blades, heat buildup, harmful dust and flying debris are a danger to
user and bystanders. Use of suitable protective clothing, gloves, footwear,
lung, eye and ear protection as well as safe working practices can
reduce these risks. Always switch the tool off prior to any adjustment.
