Special safety instructions
Read the following safety instructions and also the
enclosed safety instructions.
Before using the appliance
Check the following points:
• Has the saw blade lost any teeth and is it
showing cracks or fractures?
• If so, replace the saw blade immediately.
• Is there enough room under the workpiece so
that the saw blade does not come into contact
with the floor or work table as it moves up and
down?
• Do the teeth of the saw blade point upwards?
• Always wear protective goggles when using
the appliance.
• Maintain the appliance carefully.
• Do not use the appliance in a wet
environment.
• Do not use the appliance for material which
contains asbestos.
• Never leave the jig saw unattended.
Using the appliance
• Clamp the workpiece that you will be sawing in
firmly into place.
• Remove any wood residue that is near or
stuck to the surface of the saw blade; do not
use your hand for this. Switch the appliance off
before removing any residue!
• Always switch the jig saw on in idle, i.e. switch
the jig saw on before bringing it into contact
with the workpiece.
• When sawing the wood watch out for knots,
nails, cracks and/or dirt deposits. These can
cause the saw blade to jam dangerously. Also
watch out for this with waste wood. This often
requires less careful sawing, so there is a
danger that you may not be quite so careful
about watching out for irregularities in the
wood.
• Do not saw workpieces that are thicker than
the length of the saw blade.
• Do not touch metal parts of the jig saw when
sawing in walls or floors in which there could
be electricity cables. Hold the jig saw tightly
with both hands on the plastic grip so that you
do not touch parts that could become live if
you accidentally saw through an electricity
cable.
• When you have finished sawing, switch off the
appliance first and wait until the saw blade
comes to a standstill before removing it from
the workpiece.
Ferm
• Keep the plastic guard in place while the jig
saw is in use.

3. MOUNTING ACCESSORIES

Prior to mounting an accessory always
remove the battery.
Selecting the saw blade
The jig saw is suitable for all commercially
available T-shank saw blades. The profile and the
teeth vary is according to the material that you
want to saw. A fine tooth will give you a smooth
and precise saw cut. Use a narrow profile if you
want to saw curves or if you are going to saw
figures.
The maximum saw capacity in wood is 70 mm.
To select the right saw, proceed as follows:
• First of all try a saw blade with coarse teeth.
• If you don't get a smooth and precise saw cut,
try a saw blade with a finer tooth.
• For plastic, aluminium and steel always use a
saw blade with a very fine tooth.
• For metal, only use saw blades, suitable for
metal.
In general you will work faster but less precisely
with a coarse tooth than with a fine tooth.
For an optimum result always make sure the saw
blade is sharp.

Medium Wood
Fine Plastic, aluminium, steel
Very fine Cutting curves (wood)
Assembling saw blade
Fig. B
To assemble the saw, proceed as follows:
• Push the saw buckle clamp up and hold.
• Place the saw in the saw buckle. Make sure
that the teeth point upwards and forward. The
smooth side of the saw must rest against the
wheel.
• Push the saw as far into the buckle as
possible.
• Secure the saw by gently releasing the saw
buckle clamp. Make sure that the saw blade
sits correctly in the saw buckle. A crooked
blade can result in an unsatisfactory cut.
