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 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
1Thin materials. Fine cuts.Tight curves.
2Hard materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)
3Thick materials (e.g. wood) & plastic
4Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in the
direction of the wood grain.
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.
