Ve tical st oke ate adjustment
The vertical stroke rate can be adjusted smoothly
by rotating regulator 9 from position “A” to position
“G”. The recommended positions for cutting
different materials are as follows:
Material Regulator position
1. Wood F-G
2. Non-ferrous metals D-E
3. Steel C-D
4. Ceramics B-C
5. Rubber A-C
Installing the saw blade (fig.3 to fig.7)
With the jig saw switched off (the plug drawn out
of mains socket) remove transparent guard 11
from the machine.
Raise bush 14 to uppermost position. Place blade
shank 15 into the groove of quick-grip mecha-
nism 5 and insert it until rear shank tooth gets
into the quick-grip aperture. Release bush 14,
thus locking and fixing the blade.
Check the reliability of fastening by slightly pulling
the blade. Place the transparent guard back on
the machine.
Replacing ( emoving) the blade
With the jig saw switched off (the plug drawn out
of mains socket) remove transparent guard 11.
Raise bush 14 to uppermost position. Draw the
blade out of the groove. When the blade is
drawn out from the quick-grip mechanism, the
bush automatically returns to it initial position.
Place the transparent guard back on the
machine.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSEN
Bevel cutting
Unscrew screw 3 by the hexagon wrench 12 atta-
ched to adapter 10. Pull the base plate
backward, adjust the necessary cutting angle
(0°, 15°, 30° or 45°), put base plate 6 back and
fix screw 3. Fixing at intermediate angles is
accomplished with the base plate pulled back.
The jig saw is assembled with two t anspa ent
gua ds, as shown on Fig.1 and Fig.2.
The guard on Fig.1 is designed for dustless sawing
and it should always be mounted when using
aspiration (vacuum cleaner). When this guard is
mounted, bevel sawing cannot be performed.
For bevel sawing the operator shall use the
guard, shown on Fig.2.
Dust suction
Mount and press adapter 10 to the arch on the
base plate. In order to dismount the adapter,
press and pull back the fixing tooth. The adapter
fits vacuum cleaners with Ø30 hose orifice.
Recommendations
When sawing metal, apply cooling liquid (water
or oil) on the line of cut. In case of sawing thin
metal sheets, tighten in advance the sheet on a
wooden support. Thus the cut edge will be
smoother.
Circular cutting is possible at minimum radius 100
mm and maximum thickness of the material 20
mm. Cutting with parallel guides is possible up
to 50 mm thickness of the material.
Maintenance and epai
These models jig saws do not require any special
maintenance. Any work on the machine, save
blade replacement and base turning to the fixed
angle, must be accomplished by authorised
persons in authorised service centres for warranty
and post-warranty servicing of SPARKY power
tools.
