CAUTION IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLYBEFORE USING THE POWER TOOL AND KEEP IT FOR FUTUREREFERENCE.
DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS

• Hold power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when carrying out activities where the cutting element may come into contact with hidden tooling or its own cord. The cutting member  that comes into contact with the live wire can cause exposed metal parts of the power tool to come into contact with voltage, which can shock the operator.

• Use clamps or other practical means to securely clamp and support the workpiece on a stable platform. Holding the workpiece with your hand or against your body makes it unstable and  can lead to loss of control.

• After finishing work, switch off the jigsaw. The saw blade can be removed from the workpiece while it is stationary. This avoids kickback and you can put the power tool down safely.

• Use only undamaged blades which are in a technically perfect condition. Bent, unsharp saw blades can break. Additionally, they can affect the cut line as well as cause or contribute to  kickback.

• Dusts of some species or certain types of wood can be hazardous to health, as well as cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, or lead to cancer.
  − During cutting, use a dust mask to protect the respiratory tract against cutting dust.
  − Use a dust extraction when cutting wood.
  − Always ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.

• Do not use a jigsaw to cut through the water pipes. Cutting the pipe causes material damage or may cause an electric shock.

• Before starting work, carefully check the material to avoid cutting  nails, screws and other hard objects.

• Material whose dimensions (thickness) exceed the dimensions given in the technical data must not be cut.

• Hold the jigsaw with your hand closed.

• Make sure the jigsaw is not touching the material before pressing the switch.

• Do not touch the jigsaw while it is still moving. Do not turn off the jigsaw before grabbing it with your hand.

• Do not touch the saw blade or the material being processed immediately after finishing work. These components can be very hot and may cause burns.

• If any abnormal behavior or an unusual noise is heard from the power tool, switch it off immediately and disconnect the plug from the power socket.

• The air vents in the jigsaw body should be free to ensure proper cooling.

• Before connecting the jigsaw to a power socket, always make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage specified on the device’s rating plate.

• Before connecting the jigsaw, always check the power cord, if damaged, have it replaced by an authorized workshop.

• The power cord of the jigsaw should always be on the safe side where it cannot be accidentally damaged by an operating power tool.

Attention! The device is designed to work indoors.
Despite the inherently safe construction, the use of safety measures and additional protective measures, there is always a residual risk of injury during work.

CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION
The jigsaw is a hand-held power tool with Class II insulation. It is driven by a single-phase commutator motor . The device is designed for simple separating cuts, curved cuts and cuts in wood,  wood-like materials, plastics and metals (provided that an appropriate saw blade is used).
The areas of its use are the performance of renovation and construction works as well as all works in the field of independent amateur activity (DIY).
Do not use the power tool for purposes other than those for which it was intended.

PREPARATION TO WORK

FASTENING THE SAW BLADE
Installation and replacement of the saw blade is carried out in the followingsteps:

• Turn the blade locking knob clockwise ( fig. C ).
• Place the saw blade in the holder with the teeth facing forward.
• Turn the knob back to the starting position. Check that the saw bladeis properly seated.
• To remove the saw blade, turn the saw blade lock knob clockwise. The grip will be released.
  Note: The saw blade may jump out of the holder abruptly whenremoved. Inspect the tip of the saw blade and keep it away from yourface. Do not touch the saw blade immediately after use as it may bevery hot. Use gloves.
  Note: Only use saw blades with a T-clamping system ( fig. D ).

DRAINING DUST
To use the dust extraction function, please follow the steps below:

• Connect the suction hose of the dust extraction system to the socket ( fig. G ). Make sure that there is a tight connection.
• Move the dust suction switch to the rear position ( Fig. H ).
  Note: Do not use dust extraction when cutting material generatessparks.

OPERATION / SETTINGS

ON / OFF
Note: Before connecting the jigsaw to the mains, always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate on the power tool.

• It is turned on by pressing the rear part of the switch. Release the pressure to switch off.
• Locking for continuous operation is done by pressing the switch in this position forwards. Pulling the switch back will turn the appliance off ( fig. E ).

REGULATING THE JIGSAW WORKING SPEED
The speed of the jigsaw motor is regulated by turning and setting the speed control knob. This allows you to adjust the speed of the power tool to the properties of the material being processed.  The higher the number around the circumference of the knob, the faster the jigsaw will run ( fig. F ).

Pendulum control
Using the pendulum control knob, you can adjust the pitch of the saw blade in order to obtain the best possible cut quality for each material.

• Setting 0 – metal plates and sheets, materials susceptible to fraying
• Setting 1 – plastics
• Setting 2 – hard wood
• Setting 3 – soft wood.

When cutting metal, it is recommended to use saw blades with more teeth and a suitable coolant. Cutting without coolant leads to premature wear of the saw blade. The indicative selection of  the saw blade is specified in the table below:

SLOPE ADJUSTMENT
The adjustable jigsaw foot allows you to make miter cuts in the following positions: 0 °, ± 15 °, ± 30 °, ± 45 °.

• Disconnect the device from the power supply
• Using the hex key, loosen the two screws on the bottom of the foot.
• Pull the foot away from the step foot, tilt it to the required angle.
• Place the foot in the appropriate angle slot. Lock the foot in the desired position by tightening both screws.

CUTTING

• Place the forefoot flat on the material to be cut.
• Start the jigsaw and wait for it to reach the set maximum speed.
• Move the jigsaw by guiding the saw blade along the previously marked cutting line.
• When cutting curved lines, guide the jigsaw very carefully.
  Make the cut evenly and take care not to overload the jigsaw. Excessive pressure on the saw blade will inhibit the movement of the saw blade, which will affect the cutting performance.
  Note: If the entire surface of the jigsaw foot is not in contact with the workpiece surface during operation, but is raised above it, there is a risk of the saw blade breaking.

CUTTING A HOLE IN THE MATERIAL

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

ASSEMBLY OF THE GUIDE FOR PARALLEL CUTTING

• Unplug the power cord.
• Place the saw blade in the holder and clamp it.
• Loosen the screws and insert the guide into the hole. Adjust the position of the guide to the required distance.
• Tighten the wing nuts.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Note: Before starting any installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance activities, disconnect the power cord from the power socket.

• It is recommended to clean the device immediately after each use.
• Do not use water or other liquids for cleaning.
• Clean the device with a dry cloth or blow it out with low pressure compressed air.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents as these may damage the plastic parts.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots in the motor housing to prevent overheating of the device.
• Periodic lubrication of the guide roller is recommended. A drop of oil applied in this place will extend its durability.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a cord of the same parameters. Leave this operation to a qualified specialist or have the device serviced.
• In the event of excessive sparking 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.

CHANGING THE CARBON BRUSHES
Worn (less than 5 mm), burned, or cracked motor carbon brushes must be replaced immediately. Both carbon brushes are always replaced at the same time. Carbon brushes should be replaced  only by a qualified person, using original parts All kinds of faults should be removed by the manufacturer’s authorized service
