8. PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE
The supplied Parallel Edge Guide can be tted to either side of the
machine. It can be a useful aid when cutting straight lines that are
parallel to an existing edge.
• Loosen the cross-head screw found in the Parallel Edge Guide
clamp and slide the clamp from the arm of the guide.
• Locate the clamp in the required service position on either the
right or left hand side of the machines footplate just ahead of the
blade. (Fig. 11).
• Slide the arm of the Parallel Edge Guide through the clamp and
through the two (2) rectangular slots in the footplate.
• Set the Edge Guide at the required distance and then tighten the
cross-head screw to lock the Edge Guide securely in place.
Note: The Front Chip Guard can be tted to this machine when the
Parallel Edge Guide is tted.
9. AIR BLOWER
This Jigsaw is equipped with an Air Blower. This can be used to
blow away dust created by the blade from the cutting area thereby
keeping the cutting line(s) clear and visible.
Note: We recommend that the Air Blower is used in conjunction with
a suitable workshop dust extraction machine connected to the Dust
Extraction Adaptor of the jigsaw.
We recommend that the Air Blower is not used when cutting metal or
when cutting materials that require a lubricant. Mechanical vacuum
dust extraction using the Adaptor tube will always work better with
the Air Blower turned ‘OFF’.
To switch the Air Blower ‘ON’:
• Push the ‘Air Blower’ control slide fully to the right (as seen from
the operators viewpoint) (Fig 12)
To switch the Air Blower ‘OFF’:
• Push the ‘Air Blower’ control slide fully to the left.
