NOISE INFORMATION
A weighted sound pressure LpA: 89.4dB(A)
A weighted sound power LwA: 100.4dB(A)
KPA & KWA 3.0dB(A)
Wear ear protection when sound pressure is over 80dB(A)
VIBRATION INFORMATION
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Cutting wood Vibration emission value ah= 4.04m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
Cutting steel metal Vibration emission value ah= 9.38m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
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 or drilled.
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 if any anti vibration accessories are used.
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: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job.This may significantly
reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10oC or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

You can only use the blade type shown in Fig D. Don’t use other blade types.
We recommend that you purchase your accessories from the same store that sold you the tool.
Use good quality accessories marked with a well-known brand name. Choose the type according
to the work you intend to undertake. Refer to the accessory packaging for further details. Store
personnel can assist you and offer advice.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
POINTS FOR YOUR JIGSAW
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.
SYMBOLS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully. Always wear
a dust mask.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for sawing wood,
plastic, metal and building materials while
resting firmly on the workpiece. It is suitable
for straight and curved cuts with mitre angles
to 45°.The saw blade recommendations are to
be observed.
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool.
2. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON
Depress on/off switch (2) then lock-on button
(1) (See Fig. A), release on/off switch first then
lock-on button second.Your switch is now
locked on for continuous use.To switch off your
tool just depress and release on/off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Adjust the variable speed control to increase
or decrease the speed (See Fig. B) according
to the material, material thickness and blade
specification to be used (also possible during
no load operation). See Chart 1 for general
guidance on speed selection.
Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as this
may damage your jigsaw’s motor.
Chart 1
Material Speed setting
Wood 5-6
Metal 3-4
Aluminum 3-5
PVC 3-4
Ceramic 3-5
4. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip whilst
operating your jigsaw.
5. DUST COVER
When operating your jigsaw the dust cover
must be closed to allow the dust extraction
system to work efficiently.The dust cover can
be moved to improve access for cleaning,
blade fitting, etc. (See Fig. C)
6. BLADE FITTING
You can only use the blade type shown in Fig
D.To open the blade holder (11) rotate the ring
clockwise (Jigsaw upside down) and hold in
position (See Fig. E).Then fully insert the blade
into the blade holder slot with blade teeth
facing forward and release the ring, which will
self rotate and clamp over the top of the blade.
Push the blade into the blade holder again to
ensure it is locked in position. Ensure the edge
of the blade is located in the groove of the
blade guide (See Fig. F).To remove a blade,
holds the blade and rotate the blade holder
ring clockwise then lift out the blade (blade
could be spring ejected).
WARNING: Blade teeth are very
sharp. For best cutting results ensure
you use a blade suited to the material and cut
quality you need.
7. PARALLEL GUIDE FIXTURES
Slide the parallel guide (7) arm through both
fixtures to achieve the required cutting distance
and tighten both screws to lock into position.
8. ROLLER GUIDE
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly
in the groove (See Fig. F) otherwise the
pendulum function will not work correctly and
the blade will not be supported during cutting.
9. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
The pendulum action varies the forward
cutting angle of the blade for increased cutting
efficiency.This can also be adjusted during
no load running. Refer to the chart 2 for more
details. Do not use excessive blade force when
cutting with the pendulum action.The blade
cuts on the upward stroke only. (See Fig. G)
Chart 2
0Thin materials. Fine cuts.Tight curves.
