2. 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) ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR JIG SAW
WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power
point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can
result in serious injury to the user, as well as damaged to the tool. If in doubt,
do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible
electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any
adjustments or maintenance, including changing the blade.
• Ensure that lighting is adequate.
• Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.

• Keep the shoe flat on the work piece.
• Do not put pressure on the saw, such that it slows the motor down. Allow
the saw blade to cut without pressure. You will get better results and you
will the taking better care of your tool.
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this jigsaw.
• Only use blades in good condition.
• Before cutting, check that there is sufficient clearance for the blade under
the work piece.
• Do not touch the blade after operation. It will be very hot.
• Keep your hands away from under the work piece.
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the
blade.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the
work area.
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all nails and other
foreign objects before beginning sawing.
• Support the work properly.
• Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.
• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first switching off the
machine.
• If you are interrupted when operation the saw, complete the process and
switch off before looking up.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly
tightened.
• Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that
they could fall into it.
• 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’.
• Do not secure the jigsaw upside down in a vice or work bench and use it
as a saw bench. This can lead to serious injury.
• When using the jigsaw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or
shield, ear defenders, dust mask and protective clothing including safety
gloves.

6) 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.

5. OPERATION
ADUSTING THE BASE PLATE FOR ANGULAR CUTTING
CAUTION. Always ensure that the jigsaw is switched off and the plug is
removed from the power point before making any adjustments.
a) Loosen the 2 hex screws located on the underside of the tool using hex
key(8).
b) Move the base plate (5) backwards so that the teeth at the front no longer
engage with the retaining spigot and the shoe can be tilted to the left or
right.
c) Tilt to the desire angle.
d) Retighten the 2 hex screws.
For accurate work it is may be necessary to make a trial cut, measure the
work and reset the angle with the base plate (5). Repeat the trial cut the angle
setting until the correct setting achieved.
USING THE LASER
The laser beam is used for projection of the cut on the workpiece.
• Switch the laser on by means of the on/off switch.

• Place the machine on the workpiece with the saw marking above the start
of the cutting line.
• Check that the laser line aligns with the cutting line as marked on the
workpiece.
• Switch on the machine.
• Follow the “Instruction for use” to perform a cut.
• After use, switch off the laser
PENDULUM ADJUSTMET
This jigsaw has pendulum action whereby the blade roller guide moves back
and forth to make the blade swing slightly as it cuts.
Pendulum action increases the speed of cut but may result in a rougher finish
to the cut in some materials.
Set the pendulum adjuster (6) to one of the three settings according to degree
of pendulum action required.
Experiment on a piece of scrap material to determine the optimum pendulum
action setting.
DUST EXTRACTION
To improve dust extraction from the working area, connect dust extraction
equipment to the dust extraction outlet at the rear of the tool.
The dust extraction adaptor supplied can be use to connect an ordinary
household vacuum cleaner to the tool.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING SPEED
The variable speed feature of this jigsaw enhances the cutting performance
and saves the blade from undue wear.
The variable speed dial (2) is used to program the speed of the blade.
The speed should be adapted to the material being cut.
Use your thumb to turn the dial forward to increase the speed and backward
to decrease it.

CHANGING A BLADE
WARNING. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and the plug is
removed from the power point before making any adjustments or changing a
blade.
• Turn the jigsaw upside down
• Remove the blade guard
• Use the hex key to install blade
• Slide the blade guard
CAUTION. The blade roller guide supports the blade when cutting and must
at all times rest against the back edge of the blade. It should rotate freely.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
• Connect the plug to the power point.
• Start the tool by squeezing the on/off trigger switch (1).
• Release the trigger to stop the tool.
• If you press the lock-on button (3) while the trigger switch is depressed,
the switch is kept in the operation position.
• To release the lock-on button, press and release the trigger switch.
CAUTION. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before setting the
jigsaw down.
MAKING A CUT
• Switch on the jigsaw and allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
• Slowly guide the jigsaw forward using both hands, keeping the base plate
(5) flat against the work piece.
NOTE. Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting. Do not force the
cutting, allow the blade and the saw to do the work.
Note.
When cutting metals, a suitable cooling / cutting oil must be used.
Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or work piece at regular intervals during
cutting in order to reduce wear on the blade.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is
removed from the power point before making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures.
Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the grills near
the motor and around the trigger switch. Use a soft brush to remove any
accumulated dust. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like alcohol, petro or
other cleaning agent.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
GENERAL INPECTION
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose
over time.
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the
qualified service centre in order to avoid hazards.
ENVIRONMENT
Should your appliance need replacement after extended use, do
not discard it with the household rubbish but dispose of it in an
environmentally safe way.
