Installation: Fig 1 Close up view of the quick fit/ release chuck with the blade inserted. • Check that the jigsaw blade is of the correct type. • Insert the blade into the chuck ensuring that the blade teeth face forwards.
® The Trigger Switch is also fitted with a rotary control (Fig 3b) that allows the operator to select a constant speed and then lock the trigger in this position. 3. TRIGGER SWITCH LOCKING BUTTON (Fig. 3c) Fig 3 (b) Close up view of Rotary Control. • Pull the trigger fully and rotate the rotary control until the desired speed is obtained. • Push in the speed locking button to lock the trigger at the selected speed.
® 5. LASER CUTTING GUIDE This jigsaw is fitted with a Laser Guide which can be useful when cutting straight lines. Only switch the Laser Guide on when you are about to make a straight cut, and switch it off when the cut has been completed. The switch is located on the front of the machine. Press the ‘I’ side of the rocker switch to turn the Laser Guide ‘On’. Press the ‘O’ side of the rocker switch to turn the Laser Guide ‘Off’. WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
® 6. FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT Note: The footplate is factory set and adjusted so that the blade cuts at 900 to the footplate. The footplate may be tilted to an angle of up to 450 to either side with positive location stops at 150, 300 and 450. To adjust the footplate: WARNING: Disconnect the jigsaw from the power supply before attempting to adjust the footplate. Fig 6 View of footplate shoe being unclipped and removed from footplate.

® 7. CHIP GUARDS Two (2) plastic chip guards are provided. The Front Chip Guard should always be fitted and the Footplate Chip Guard can be fitted to the machine as and when required. To fit the Front Chip Guard: • Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply • The front guard (Fig. 9) clips over the front of the machine, below the laser guide and in front of the steel blade guard. Fig 9 Close up view of Front Guard in service position.
® 8. PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE The supplied Parallel Edge Guide can be fitted to either side of the machine. It can be a useful aid when cutting straight lines that are parallel to an existing edge. To fit the Parallel Edge Guide: Clamp Fig 11 Parallel Edge Guide. • Loosen the cross-head screw found in the Parallel Edge Guide clamp and slide the clamp from the arm of the guide.
® 10. DUST EXTRACTION This jigsaw is fitted with a Dust Extraction Adaptor tube. (Fig. 13) Whenever possible it is good practice to connect the Adaptor tube to a workshop dust extraction machine. The Air Blower should be in the ‘OFF’ position. During operations the use of a dust extraction machine will help keep the workplace clean and dust free, enhancing operator safety and comfort and aiding operator cutting accuracy.

® CUTTING METAL ANGLED CUTTING When cutting any metal a suitable cutting lubricant/coolant should be used. Cast Iron and Brass can be cut without a cutting lubricant. Always use a blade that is capable of cutting metal, and secure the workpiece securely, if practicable, in a vice or similar clamping device. Angled cutting, whatever the material, is always more difficult than general straight cutting. With angled cutting it is very important to allow the saw blade to do the work.
