4. BLADE FITTING (See Fig. C, D)
You can only use the blade type shown in Fig
C. To open the blade holder rotate the ring
anti-clockwise (jigsaw upside down) and hold
in position (See Fig. D). 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. To remove a blade,
hold the blade and rotate the blade holder ring
anti-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.
5. PARALLEL GUIDE FIXTURE
Slide the parallel guide arm through both
fixtures to achieve the required cutting
distance and tighten both screws to lock into
position.
6. ROLLER GUIDE (See Fig. E)
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly
in the groove otherwise the pendulum
function will not work correctly and the blade
will not be supported during cutting.
7. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
(See Fig. F)
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.
Chart 2
0 Thin materials. Fine cuts. Hard
materials, (e.g. steel & chipboard)
I Thick materials (e.g. wood) & plastic
II Fast cuts (e.g. softwood). Cutting in
the direction of the wood grain.

8. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (10)
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.
9. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. G)
Use a hex key. Loosen the bolts securing the
base plate. For preset angles, adjust the press-
board arrow pointing at the desired angle
(0,15,30,45) on the angle plate (See Fig. G).
For other mitre 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.
10. VACUUM ADAPTOR (See Fig. H)
The adapter (4) rotates anti-clockwise inside
the dust tube and locks in position by a groove
inside the dust tube The adapter must then
be connected to a suitable external dust
extraction machine.
11. PROTECTION FINGER
The finger is located in front of the blade
holder. Whilst working, it will help prevent
accidental contact with moving blade.
12. DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE
This is a small aperture located underneath
the housing just behind the blade guide.
Ensure this is kept clean to allow the airflow to
continually blow dust away from the cutting
area.
