10. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (13)
enables bevel cutting.The base plate must
always be held firmly against the materials
being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade
jumping or blade breakage.
11. PLASTIC FOOT PLATE PROTECTION
Your tool is equipped with base plate
protection that protects finer surface.
To attached, hook the protection over front of
base plate and snap into place at the rear of
base plate.
12. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Use an Allen key (5). First loosen the bolts
securing the base plate and pull the base
plate out of the slots (See Fig. H). For preset
angles rotate so the lines of the angle on the
base plate and angle plate (9) superposition
at the desired angle (0, 15, 30, 45) (See Fig. I).
For other bevel angles, rotate to your desired
angle (use a protractor scale). Following one
of the above procedures, hold the base plate
in position and firmly tighten the bolts to
clamp the base plate at that angle. Finally,
check the angle and ensure the base plate
is firmly clamped.The angle markings on
the base plate are accurate for most general
purposes but it is recommended for accurate
work to set the angle with a protractor and
make a test cut on other material.
13. VACUUM ADAPTER
The adapter (6) rotates anti-clockwise inside the
housing and locks in position by a groove inside
the housing (See Fig. J K).The adapter must
then be connected to a suitable external dust
extraction machine.
14. PROTECTION FINGER
The finger (14) is located in front of the blade
holder. Whilst working, it will help prevent
accidental contact with moving blade.
15. DUST BLOWER SWITCH (See Fig. L)
The sawdust blower device leads an air jet to
the saw blade.The air jet avoids sawdust from
covering the cutting line during operation.
The sawdust vacuum device can be connected
to the cleaner. Push the switch to the vacuum
position, the cleaner will imbibe the sawdust
through the vacuum adapter.
As a suction mechanism for the suction
of cutting dust.
NOTE:You should connect the vacuum
adapter to the cleaner when you use the
sawdust vacuum function.
As a blower for blowing cutting dust
away from the holes of the blade guard
and into the area during cutting operation.
16. LASER GUIDE (ONLY FOR WX474)
Depress the laser on/off switch button (20), the
laser device can provide a beam in the same
plane as the blade, which projects onto the
work piece to generate a line.The saw blade
can be directed to follow the line in order
to align the cut with the line. Either straight
cutting or bevel cutting, it will make more
precise movement during cutting.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
JIGSAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially
when used at low speed, set the speed to
maximum and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to
cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very
low speeds.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. Always ensure the
work–piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. For easier control, use low speed to
start cutting, then increase to correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the cut.The blade cuts on the
upward stroke and may chip the uppermost.
Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-
visible surface when your work is finished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most
laminates and thin wood materials.To reduce
edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at
both ends on both sides and cut through the
wood during cutting.
