GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings designated by the symbol and
all instructions.
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.
JIG SAW 750W TTB285JSW
100816_TTB285JSW_Jig Saw-EN-08.pdf 3 8/16/10 2:04 PM

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 qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR JIG SAW
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. Always use eye glasses and dust mask.
3. Hearing protection should be worn when using jigsaw.
4. Do not use damaged or worn blades.
5. Always use jigsaw with guard cover down.
6. Regularly check the two screws in the blade clip.
7. Regularly check the adjustment of the support roller.
8. Do not run the machine with any part of the casing missing or damaged.
9. If blade is jammed in work piece, do not start the jigsaw.
WARNING! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of
work.To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all times.
SAFETY POINTS FOR YOUR LASER
Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the
beam, please observe all safety rules as follows:
1. The laser device fitted to this tool is class 2 with a maximum radiation of 1mW and
650nm wavelength.These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard although
staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
2. The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
4. The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at another person and shall be prevented
from being directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25 seconds.
5. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective
surfaces, e.g wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable.
Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser applications as the
reflective surface may direct the laser beam back at the operator.
6. Do not change the laser device with a different type. Repairs must be carried out by the
manufacturer or an authorised agent.
CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users.The directive requires power
tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users
to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a
daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE web-
site has further information.
The declared vibration emission has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.

100816_TTB285JSW_Jig Saw-EN-08.pdf 6 8/16/10 2:04 PM

Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can
differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed
Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time).NoteThe use of other tools will reduce the users’ total
working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate)
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity
any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and help
employees stay in work.
Double insulation:
The tool is double insulated.This means that all the external metal parts are electrically
insulated from the mains power supply.This is done by placing insulation barriers between
the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
Important note:
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate.The tool is fitted
with a two-core cable and plug.
Always remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or servic-
ing.

2. Using the parallel guide (Fig. 2)
Parallel guide can be used for making cuts parallel to a
work piece edge at a chosen distance. Slide the parallel
guide arm through the slot and tighten the screw (8) to
lock it into position.
This guide can be used from both sides of the base
plate.
3. Vacuum and blower selector (Fig. 3)
Slide backward the vacuum/blower selector to
position to blow away dust and chips in cutting area.
Slide forward the selector to position while
connected to a dust extraction system or household
vacuum.
4. Dust extraction (Fig. 4)
To improve dust extraction from the working area, insert
the dust extraction adaptor to the dust extraction outlet
of the jigsaw,turn clockwise to secure it, and then
connect to a dust extraction system or a suitable vacuum
cleaner. Slide forward the selector to postion .
Warning: Do not use a dust extraction system or a
vacuum cleaner when cutting metal. Sparks may ignite
residual wood dust.

6. Pendulum action switch adjustment
(Fig. 6)
The adjustable 4-stage pendulum action makes it
possible to adjust the blade penetration on the
upward stroke for the various working materials.
Optimal cutting performance is thereby achieved.
The saw blade is lifted from the workpiece on the
downward stroke.This results in improved chip ejection
while substantially reducing frictional heat and
increasing the life expectancy of the saw blade.
The pendulum action can be adjusted to one of four
stages with pendulum action knob.The setting can be
changed while the machine is operating:
Stage 0: Pendulum action off
Stage 1: Low pendulum action
Stage 2: Moderate pendulum action
Stage 3: High pendulum action
The following should be observed
- The pendulum action should be off when working
with thin materials such as sheet metal.
- If smoothly cut edges are desired in soft material,
select low stage or shut off pendulum action.
- Use low pendulum action when working with hard
materials such as steel.
- Use high pendulum action when working with most
soft materials such as wood and plastic.
The optimum setting can be determined in practical
trials on scrap material.

7. Speed selection (Fig. 7)
With the thumbwheel, the required speed rate can be
selected (also while running).
MIN-1 = Low speed rate: for metals other than aluminium
2-4 = Medium speed rate: for aluminum and PVC
5-MAX = High speed rate: for wood
The speed rate required depends upon the material and
the working conditions: fast enough to make
reasonable progress, but slow enough to keep a clean
cut and to avoid straining the machine. Generally, finer
saw blades use a higher speed, coarser blades use a
slower speed.
After working for longer periods at low speed rate allow
the machine to cool by running it at maximum speed
rate and no load for approx 3 minutes.
8. Using the pendulum jigsaw
Switch on and wait until blade has reached maximum
speed. Place the front of the baseplate on the
workpiece and line up the cutting line with the line you
wish to cut.
Push slowly forward. Keep the baseplate flat against the
workpiece.
- Cutting metal
An appropriate cutting agent (such as light oil, small
amounts of soapy water, etc.) should always be used. If
there is no available liquid cutting agent, grease can be
applied to the back surface of the material to be cut.
Never use flammable liquids when cutting.
- Cutting grooves/window holes
For wood: Align the blade direction with the grain of the
wood.Then position the rounded part at the front of the
base plate on surface to be cut, slowly lower the saw
into material at chosen point of entry. Lower the saw in
a pivoting action until blade has cut through to other
side, do not move saw along intended cut line until the
blade has cut through and base plate is laying flat on
material.
For other materials: In materials other than wood when
cutting window holes, first use a drill or similar tool to
drill a hole from which initial cutting will begin.

9. Angular cutting (Fig. 8)
To adjust the base plate bevel angle, loosen the screws
located under the base plate with the hex key (Fig. 9).
Move the base plate backwards so that the teeth at the
front no longer engage with the retaining spigot and
the base plate can be tilted to the left or right.
If the required angle is 15°, 30° or 45° to the left or right
or 0°, push the base plate forwards so that the
appropriate teeth on the plate mesh with the spigot.
Hold the base plate at the desired angle and firmly
tighten the screws with the key.
Bevel angles are stamped onto the bracket on the
underside of the base. For accurate work it is may be
necessary to make a trial cut.
10. Using the laser and LED light (Fig. 10)
1. To use LED light,simply press down the Laser/LED
light on/off switch.
2. If you push a second time, the LED light switches off
and the laser on.
3. If you push another time, both laser and LED are
working.
4. Push again the Laser/LED light on/off switch to stop
the laser & LED light.
Note:
- The saw dust may block the laser beam, clean the
laser generator periodically.
- Switch off the laser when you stop the machine.
The laser does not switch off automatically.
Caution: Switch off the laser when stop the
machine. Never stare directly into the laser beam
and never point the beam at anybody.

Working hints for your Jig saw
1. Here is some advice on the pendulum action
control: the saw blade is only pressed against the
material on the return stroke/working stroke. It is
moved away from the material on the forward
stroke.The result is better removal of chips, less
friction and therefore a higher output.
2. To avoid the jigsaw springing up and down when
sawing sheets, support the sheet on timbers. When
sawing metal, apply a none flammable coolant oil
along the cutting line.
3. Adjust the speed and the pendulum action settings
to suit the material to be sawn. We always
recommend that you carry out a test cut first.
4. To use the jigsaw put the front end of the base plate
on the material and turn the machine on.
Press the machine from above on to the material
and guide the jigsaw along the cutting line.
5. Do not use too much pressure to achieve the best
progress when sawing, use light pressure on the
saw blade.
6. When sawing along a marked line use the laser as a
guide.
7. For exact cutting, clamp a timber batten on to the
material as an aid or use the parallel guide.
8. For mitres/bevels, set the base plate in the required
position.
9. Set the base plate to its rearmost position for
cutting close to an edge.
MAINTENANCE
