10. DUST EXTRACTION
This jigsaw is tted 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 ADVICE
Note: Always ensure that the footplate of the jigsaw is in close
contact with the workpiece throughout the cutting procedure. If the
footplate is allowed to ‘lift’ away from the workpiece operator control
and accuracy will be compromised.
• Clearly mark out the cutting line to be followed on the workpiece
(use a pencil or other suitable marking device).
• Small workpieces should be secured in a vice or clamped to a
workbench. Check that the passage of the blade is not obstructed.
• Larger workpieces should be clamped to sawhorses or similar.
Check that the passage of the blade is not obstructed.
• Set the Cutting Action Selection Lever to the desired position.
• Align the saw with the cutting line and rest the front of the footplate
on the workpiece.
Note: Ensure that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece at
this stage.
• Switch the machine ‘On’ and gently feed the jigsaw into the
workpiece. Be careful to hold the jigsaw rmly and keep full
control as the blade contacts the workpiece.
• Adjust the speed of the blade as necessary to achieve optimum
cutting performance.
• Use the Laser guide if necessary, but only on non-reective
materials.
Note: Do not force the blade. Let the blade do the work by adjusting
the speed and feed rates to achieve best performance.
