3. ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH
This tool is fitted with a variable speed
trigger switch that delivers higher speed as
the trigger pressure is increased.
The trigger switch is also fitted with a brake
function which stops the chuck immediately
when you quickly release the trigger.
4. TRIGGER SWITCH SAFETY LOCK
The trigger switch can only be operated
once the safety lock has been disengaged.
1. To disengage the safety lock press the
safety lock slide button on either the RH or
LH side of the handle.
2. Press the trigger switch to start the
machine.
Note: The safety lock will automatically reset
to the ‘safe’ position when the trigger switch
is released and the machine has stopped.
5. FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Note: The footplate is factory set and
adjusted so that the blade cuts at 90
0
to the
footplate.
The footplate may be tilted to allow an angle
of 45
0
to either side.
To adjust the footplate:
1. Remove the battery from the jigsaw.
2. Loosen the two hex-headed screws
underneath the footplate using a suitable
allen key.
3. Slide and tilt the footplate to the desired
angle.
4. Tighten the two hex-headed screws,
having checked that the guide roller is still
fully engaged with the back of the blade.
5. Re-install the battery.
Return to the factory setting when angled
cutting is completed. Recheck the security
of the blade and the engagement of the
guide roller.
6. GENERAL CUTTING
1. Clearly mark out the cutting line to be
followed on the workpiece (use a pencil or
other suitable marking device).
2. Small workpieces should be secured in a
vice or clamped to a workbench. Check that
the passage of the blade is not obstructed.
3. Larger workpieces should be clamped
to sawhorses or similar. Check that the
passage of the blade is not obstructed.
4. Align the saw with the cutting line and rest
the front of the footplate on the workpiece.
Ensure that the blade is not in contact with
the workpiece at this stage.
5. Switch the machine ‘on’ and gently feed
the jigsaw into the workpiece. Be careful to
hold the jigsaw firmly and keep full control
as the blade contacts the workpiece.
6. Adjust the speed of the blade as necessary
to achieve optimum cutting performance.
Note: Do not force the blade. Let the blade
do the work by adjusting the speed and feed
rates to achieve best performance.
7. BLADES
Choose blades carefully. Use only a blade
that is suitable for this machine and for the
material to be cut.
The ability of the jigsaw to follow curves,
provide smooth finishes or faster cutting
is directly related to the type of blade
employed.
8. MAINTENANCE
Your Pure Jigsaw requires no major
additional lubrication or maintenance.
Occasionally apply a drop of light machine
oil to the blade guide spindle. There are no
user serviceable parts in your Pure Jigsaw.
Keep the tool clean, but do not use chemical
cleaners which may damage the plastic
parts. Clean with a dry cloth. Ensure that the
motor ventilation slots are kept clean.
