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.
