switcHing on and off
• To switch the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (1).
• For continuous operation, squeeze the trigger switch then depress the lock-on button (2).
Once lock-on button is depressed, release the trigger switch.
• To switch the tool off, release the trigger switch. To switch the tool off, when in continuous
operation, squeeze the trigger and the lock will disengage.
variaBle speed control (figure f)
• A speed control wheel (7) is located on the top of the saw.
Rotating the variable speed control wheel toward the rear of
the jigsaw will result in slower speeds. Position the speed control
dial at 1 for the slowest speed, 3 for medium speed, and 6 for
the highest speed.
cutting action – orBital or straigHt
caution:
Check that the tool is not locked on before
connecting it to a power supply. If the trigger switch is locked on
when the tool is connected to the power supply, it will start
immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury may result.
The variable cutting action allows you to select one of four
different cutting actions.
• To set the cutting action, rotate the cutting action lever (8)
forward or backward to the desired setting number (fig. g).
• Position 0 is straight cutting.
• Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting.
• The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever is adjusted
from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.
note: The orbital setting button will "click" at each of the four
positions. Slide the orbital button slightly forward or backward until it locks into place.
installing tHe vacuuM adaptor
To reduce the amount of loose sawdust produced while cutting,
a workshop vacuum can be attached to the jigsaw by using the
vacuum adapter that is attached to the jigsaw.
• To install the vacuum into the adapter (9), slide a workshop
vacuum nozzle into the vacuum adapter (fig. H).
note: The vacuum adapter is slightly tapered. If the adapter
is too large to be inserted into the vacuum port, insert the
opposite end of the adaptor into the vacuum port.
note: Twist the adapter slightly as it is pressed into the
vacuum port to ensure it is fully inserted.
Hints for optiMuM use
sawing laMinates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest
to the shoe plate.
•
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
•
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
•
To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the
workpiece and saw through this sandwich.
sawing Metal
•
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than sawing wood.
•
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
•
When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back surface of the workpiece
and cut through this sandwich.
•
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut for easier operation and longer blade
life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.
