6. CONTROLS CONT 7. CUTTING
The cutting speed should be adjusted to match the material of the
workpiece. In general, use fasterer speeds for softer materials.
The jigsaw has a pendulum action feature which enables the blade to
cut faster and more efciently in thick and softer materials. See below
for a guide on choosing the correct setting.
1 To use the pendulum action,
rotate the pedulum action
selceter clockwise to a higher
setting.
2 To use standard cutting action,
rotate the pendulum action
selceter anti-clockwise to a
lowerer setting.

MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all
dust particles that may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the tool to
overheat and fail.
2. If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part
of the tool into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the jigsaw
will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon
as this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the jigsaw. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the jigsaw therefore
not covered under warranty. Continuing to use the
jigsaw when carbon brushes need to be replaced
may cause permanent damage to the jigsaw. Carbon
brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be
replaced, take the jigsaw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick
and low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same
time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the jigsaw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling
of the jigsaw.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the jigsaw failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be
replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualied
electrician or power tool repairer.
Cutting Metal
Your jigsaw can be used for cutting light gauge ferrous sheet and non-ferrous
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 metal and wood backing are sawn together. Do not force the cutting
blade into the metal as this will reduce the life of the blade and possibly damage
the motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting even a relatively thick
piece of wood, so do not be tempted to speed up the operation by forcing the
saw. Spread a thin lm of oil along the proposed cutting line before commencing
to saw metal. Always select the right blade for the job.
Spare parts can be ordered from the Special Orders Desk
at your local Bunnings Warehouse.

device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
1. 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.
2. Remove all nails in the work piece before the jigsaw. Cutting nails may damage
your tool.
3. Do not cut hollow pipe with the jigsaw
4. Do not cut material thicker or of a wider diameter than the specied limits.
5. Always allow enough clearance underneath the work piece to ensure the blade
does not touch the oor or work bench, etc.
6. Hold the tool at a comfortable distance from your body. Do not over reach to
access the work piece.
7. Do not touch moving parts with your ngers or hand. 8. Do not cut through walls or
cavities without rst checking for hidden electrical wires.

you have nished the cut, wait until the saw blade has stopped moving prior to
removing it from the work piece.
11.Do not touch the saw blade immediately after use. Allow time for the blade to cool,
as it may burn you due to the heat generated during sawing.
12.Always check accessories to ensure that they are suitable for the operating
speeds of this tool.
13.Incorrect accessories can break apart at high speed and cause serious damage
or injury.
This appliance is not intended for use by young or inrm persons unless

JIGSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions 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.
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.
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.
