PREPAREDNESS FOR WORK

REMOVING / INSERTING THE BATTERY

• Press the battery retaining button (12) and pull out the battery
  (13) (fig. A).
  

• Insert the charged battery (13) into the holder in the handle until the battery retaining button (12) audibly engages.

BATTERY CHARGING

The device is supplied with a partially charged battery. The battery should be charged in conditions where the ambient temperature is between 40°C and 40°C. A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time will reach its full capacity after approximately 3 – 5 charge and discharge cycles.

• Remove the battery (13) from the unit (fig. A).
  

• Plug the charger into a mains socket (230 V AC).

• Slide the battery pack (13) into the charger (14) (Fig. B). Check that the battery is properly seated (inserted all the way in).
  

When the charger is plugged into the mains socket (230 V AC), the green LED (15) on the charger will illuminate to indicate that voltage has been applied.

When the battery (13) is placed in the charger (14), the red LED (15) on the charger lights up to indicate that the battery is being charged.

At the same time, the green LEDs (17) of the battery charge status in the various arrangements (see description below) light up pulsatingly.

• Flashing of all LEDs – indicates low battery and the need to recharge the battery.
• Pulsating light of 2 diodes – indicates partial discharge.
• Pulsating light of 1 diode – indicates high level of battery charge.

When the battery has been recharged, the LED (15) on the charger lights up green and all the battery charge status LEDs (17) glow continuously. The battery charge status LEDs (17) switch off after a certain time (approx. 15s).

The battery should not be charged for more than 8 hours.
Exceeding this time may damage the battery cells. The charger will not switch off automatically when the battery is fully charged. The green LED on the charger will remain lit. The battery charge status LED will turn off after some time.

Disconnect the power before removing the battery from the charger socket. Avoid consecutive short charges. Do not recharge the batteries after a short period of use. A significant drop in the time between necessary charges indicates that the battery is worn out and should be replaced.

Batteries become very warm during the charging process. Do not start work immediately after charging – wait until the battery has reached room temperature. This will prevent damage to the battery.

BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATION

The battery is equipped with a charge level indicator (3 LEDs) (17). To check the charge level of the battery, press the battery charge level indicator button (13) (Fig. C).

When all LEDs are lit, the battery charge level is high. When 2 diodes are lit it means that the battery is partially discharged. When only 1 diode is lit it means that the battery is exhausted and needs to be recharged.

INSTALLATION OF PARALLEL CUTTING GUIDE

The parallel cutting guide can be mounted on the right or left side of the machine foot.

• Loosen the parallel guide lock screws (8).
• Insert the parallel guide bar (18) into the holes in the foot (4), set the desired distance (using the graduation marks) and fix it by tightening the parallel guide bar locking screws (8) (fig. D).
  

The guide bar of the parallel guide should be facing downwards.
The parallel guide (18) can also be used for mitre cuts from 0° to 45°.

BLADE FIXING

The blade is mounted and replaced without tools.

Blade mounting

• Set the rocker adjustment switch (5) to position “III” and raise the cover (10).
• Insert the doctor blade as far as it will go into the blade holder (6) (the teeth of the blade should point forward) (fig E).
  
  Important! Ensure that the saw blade is properly seated in the guide roller (7).

Blade removal

• Set the rocker adjustment switch (5) to position “III” and raise the cover (10).

• Pull the blade holder lever (6) upwards and eject the blade (fig E).
  

• Release the blade holder lever (7)
  Use blades with the T clamping system as shown in Figure F.
  

DUST EXTRACTION

To improve dust removal from the workpiece surface, the jigsaw is equipped with its own dust blow-off and extraction system to clean the cutting surface. The dust blow-off and extraction system works more effectively when the hood is lowered.

• Insert the adapter (3) into the foot (4) as far as it will go (fig. G).
  

• Connect the suction hose of the dust extraction system to the adapter (3).

• Removal of the adapter is in the reverse order of its installation.

OPERATION / SETTINGS

ON / OFF
The appliance is equipped with a switch lock button (1) to prevent accidental operation. The safety button is located on both sides of the device housing.

Switching on

• Press one end of the switch locking button (1) and hold it in this position (fig H)
  

• Press the switch (2) (Fig. I).
  

• After the appliance has been started up, the switch locking button (1) can be released.

Switching off

• Releasing pressure on the switch button (2) stops the unit.
  The speed range of the device is regulated by the degree of pressure exerted on the switch button.
  Each time the on/off button (2) is pressed, the LED (11) illuminates the work area.

SAW BLADE SWING ADJUSTMENT

The available possibility to adjust the oscillating movement of the blade in addition to the possibility to adjust its reciprocating movement enables better adjustment of the jigsaw parameters to the requirements of the workpiece. The pendulum movement is adjusted in steps with the pendulum movement adjustment switch (5) in the range from 0 to 3 (fig. K).

The most favorable selection of the stroke of the pendulum movement for particular materials is provided by the table below.

When using a knife-type blade, set the rocker adjustment switch to 0. When cutting metal, it is recommended to use lubrication.

FOOT ADJUSTMENT FOR ANGLED CUTS

The adjustable jigsaw foot makes it possible to make angled cuts from 0° to 45° (in both directions).

• Remove the adapter (3) from the footplate (4) (fig. G).
  

• Loosen the foot fixing screw (4) using a hexagonal spanner.

• Move the foot (4) forward and tilt to the left or right (up to 45°).

• Adjust the foot (4) to the desired angle, slide back and secure by tightening the fixing screw (fig. L).
  

The angle graduation on the foot allows the foot to be inclined at angles of 0°, 15°, 30° or 45° (right or left). Always place the hex key in its storage location after adjustment.

CUTTING

• Place the front part of the foot (4) flat on the material to be cut so that the blade does not touch the material.
• Start the jigsaw and wait until it reaches the correct speed.
• Move the jigsaw slowly guiding the blade along the predetermined cutting line.
• When cutting a curved line, guide the jigsaw very gently.

Make the cut evenly, taking care not to overload the jigsaw.
Excessive pressure on the blade will inhibit the oscillating motion, which will have a negative effect on cutting performance. If it is necessary to make cuts in a gentle curve, the pendulum motion should be reduced or completely switched off.

If the whole surface of the foot of the jigsaw does not touch the surface of the workpiece during operation but is raised above it, there is a danger of the blade kicking back or breaking.

CUTTING A HOLE IN THE MATERIAL

• Drill a 10 mm diameter hole in the material.
• Insert the saw blade into the hole and start cutting from the hole you have made.

METAL CUTTING / TYPES OF SAW BLADES

For cutting through metal, suitable blades with a higher number of teeth should be used.
When cutting metal it is necessary to use a suitable lubricant (cutting oil). Cutting metal without lubrication leads to accelerated blade wear. The table below provides the most favorable selection of saw blades:

• Use only appropriate and sharp saw blades.
• Do not use a saw blade with a damaged shank.
• Use the correct type of saw blades.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Remove the battery from the unit before performing any installation, adjustment, repair or service.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• It is recommended to clean the device immediately after each use.
• Do not use water or other liquids for cleaning.
• The unit should be cleaned with a dry piece of cloth or blown with low pressure compressed air.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents as these may damage the plastic parts.
• The ventilation slots in the motor housing must be cleaned regularly to prevent the unit from overheating. Do not clean the ventilation slots by inserting sharp objects such as screwdrivers or similar.
• It is recommended that the guide roller be periodically lubricated. A drop of oil applied to this area will prolong its life.
• If excessive sparking occurs on the commutator, have the condition of the motor carbon brushes checked by a qualified person.
• Always store the device in a dry place, out of the reach of children.
• Store the device with the battery removed.
  Any defects should be rectified by the manufacturer’s authorized service department.
