9 Tips and Tricks

Sawing different materials
When sawing metal, lubricate the saw blade with a
Metabo lubricating stick. Wet the cutting line with
water when sawing plexiglas. Saw metal sheets
less than 1 mm thick on a wooden base.
Curved cuts
When making curved cuts, we recommend using
narrow, specially designed saw blades.
Plunging
The jigsaw blade can plunge into workpieces made
from thin, soft materials without the necessity of
drilling a hole beforehand. Only use short saw
blades. Only at 0° angle setting.
See illustration on page 3. Set the adjustment lever
(7) to position "0" (pendulum motion is switched
off). Position the jigsaw with the front edge of the
footplate (5) on the workpiece. Hold the operating
jigsaw firmly and guide slowly downwards. Once
the saw blade has penetrated the workpiece, the
pendulum motion can be activated.
In thicker workpieces, a hole for inserting the saw
blade must be drilled first.

10 Accessories

Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your
dealer.
For dealers to select the correct accessory, they
need to know the exact model designation of your
power tool.
See page 4.
A Saw blades with single lug bayonet shank. Use
a saw blade that is suitable for the material
being sawn.
B Anti-splintering footplate insert (replacement)
C Protective plate for attaching to the jigsaw foot-
plate. The protective plate prevents work-
pieces with sensitive surfaces from becoming
scratched.
D Guide fixture for using the jigsaw with the guide
rail
E Guide rail (overall length: 1500 mm)
F Connector for easy joining of 2 guide rails
6.31213
G Clamps for securing the guide rail to the
workpiece or work bench
H Jigsaw bench with clamp for securing to the
work bench
I Flexo 500 universal table for stationary use of
Metabo jigsaws, etc.
J Table extension
K Lubricating stick for lubricating the saw blades
when sawing metal.
L Extraction hose
M Circular-cutting and parallel guide
For complete range of accessories, visit
www.metabo.com or refer to the main catalogue.
10.1 Attaching the circular-cutting
and parallel guide
For sawing circles (dia. 100 - 360 mm) and making
cuts parallel with edges (max. 210 mm).
Attaching clamping elements (page 4, Fig. I)
Place the clamping elements (a) on the footplate
(5) with the opening facing forwards and the
threaded hole facing up. Insert the screws (b) from
underneath.
Remove the clamping elements after use
otherwise the saw blade clamping fixture
(10) may be damaged when diagonal cuts are
made.
At a 45° diagonal cut angle, tilting the jigsaw
to the right will damage the saw blade
clamping fixture (10).
Attaching the circular-cutting guide
(page 4, Fig. II)
- Slide the rod on the circular-cutting and parallel
guide sideways into the clamping elements (a)
(centre point (c) faces downwards).
- Set the desired radius (d).
- Tighten the screws (b).
Attaching the parallel guide (page 4, Fig. III)
- Slide the rod on the circular-cutting and parallel
guide sideways into the clamping elements (a)
(centre point (c) faces upwards).
- Unscrew the centre point (c).
- Set the dimension (e)
- Tighten the screws (b).
