Description of the machine
We have developed ajig saw for especially high
requirements concerning sawing precision and
performance that is not only distinguished by its
versatility but is also suitable for cutting curves in
12 mm thick wood.
Straight cuts are no problem either: the machine
is equipped with an adjustable limit stop which is
guided along the tool edge, enabling accurate
parallel cuts. And because the saw table can also
be rotated alongthe longitudinal axle, mitre cuts
up to 45° are also possible.
The device head consists of precisely machined
die-cast zinc. It contains areduction gear for the
drive of the saw blade. The jig saw is powered by
an especially high quality and quiet direct current
motor.The speed can be preselected via elec-
tronic control: the correct of number of strokes is
then always set

Clamping and changing saw blades
Danger!
Injury hazard
Disconnect the mains plug before changing tools.
Note:
•Donot work with damaged or worn bits and cut-
ters! Make sure the sanding discs are in perfect
condition!
•When storing the bits and cutters, make sure
they are reliably protected from damage!
1. Loosen clamp screw using the Allen key 1pro-
vided (Fig. 2).
2. Insert saw blade (2) into slot in the saw blade
mount and re-tighten clamp screw.
Important
The saw blade must be located in the groove of
the support roller.
Setting the mitre angle
Danger!
Injury hazard
Disconnect the mains plug before proceeding.
1. Loosen clamp screw using the Allen key 1
(Fig. 3).
2. Adjust the saw plate (2) to the desired mitre
angle and re-tighten the clamp screw.
Setting the parallel stop
Danger!
Injury hazard
Disconnect the mains plug before changing tools.
1. Loosen clamp screw 1(Fig. 4) using the Allen
key provided
2. Adjust the stop (2) to the desired dimension
and re-tighten the clamp screw.
Note:
The stop can also be used for curved cuts. For
this purpose, position anail at the centre point of
the curve and use as axis for the stop. The scale
for curved cuts is on the back of the stop.

Working with the jig saw
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory con-
tacting a“live” wire may make exposed metal
partsofthe power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Affix and secure the work piece to astable
surface using clamps or another suitable
method. If you hold the work piece with your hand
only or up against your body,itwill be unstable
which may lead to aloss of control.
Activate the device with the switch 2(Fig. 5) and
set the number of strokes that correspond to the
work task at knob 1. Fundamentally speaking, the
following apply:
Soft materials: high number of strokes
coarse teeth
Hard materials: low number of strokes,
fine teeth
The jig saw can be easily guided by hand now.In
the interest of clean saw cuts and optimal sawing
performance, make sure the feed is adjusted to
suit the material. The basic principle here is: the
harder the material, the slower the feed!
When sawing metals, asmall amount of oil should
be applied to the cutting line.
Thin sheet steel should be appropriately clamped
to afixed supporting surface (e.g. plywood board):
This minimises and prevents vibrations and flexing.
When producing cut-outs, drill ahole that is suffi-
ciently large to allow the saw blade to be inserted.
Maintenance, cleaning and care
Attention:
Disconnect the mains plug prior to every
adjustment, maintenance measure or repair!
Note:
Every device is dirtied by dust when working.
Cleaning is therefore essential. To ensure along
service life, however,the machine should be
cleaned with asoft cloth or brush after each use.
Ensure all ventilation apertures are clear.
Mild soap or other suitable cleaning agent may be
used in this context. Solvents or cleaning agents
containing alcohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning alcohols,
etc.) should be avoided, since these can attack plas-
tic casings.Regularly lubricate reciprocating plunger
and support roller with several drops of engine oil,
after approx. 30 min. running time (Fig. 6).
