K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s2

Sawing metal

Vibration emission value ah = 6.7 m/s2
K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s2

The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values were measured in accordance with a set of standardized criteria and can be used to compare one power tool with another. The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values can also be used to make an initial assessment of exposure.

Warning:

The vibration and noise emission levels may vary from the level specified during actual use, depending on the way in which the power tool is used, especially the type of workpiece it is used for. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
Service and clean the appliance regularly.
Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
Do not overload the appliance.
Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
Wear protective gloves.

Caution!

Residual risks

Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
Health damage is caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Warning!

Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Safety guard (Fig. 1/Item 13)

The safety guard (13) protects the user from accidentally touching the saw blade (12) and nevertheless enables you a free view of the cutting area.

Changing the saw blade (Fig. 2/Item 12)

Danger!

Pull the mains plug before you fit or replace a saw blade.
Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to position 3. The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
Press the blade holder (14) and insert the saw blade (12) into the blade holder (14) as far as the stop (Fig. 2). The teeth on the saw blade must be pointing forward.
Allow the blade holder (14) to slide back to the starting position.
The saw blade (12) must sit in the guide roller (10). Check that the saw blade (12) is securely mounted in the blade holder.
Follow the instructions above in reverse order to remove the saw blade.

Warning! Hold the saw blade securely while releasing it because otherwise, it may jump out of the blade holder.

Setting the soleplate for mitre cuts (Figs. 3-4)

Use the hexagon key (4) to loosen the screws for the soleplate (11) on the bottom of the adjustable soleplate (7) (Figure 3).
Pull the sole plate (7) backwards slightly. The soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum 45° to the left and right.
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the front again it will only function in the locking positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which are marked on the graduated scale for the soleplate (9) (Figure 4). Move the soleplate into the required position and refasten the screw securing the soleplate (11).
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to another angle. To do so, move the soleplate (7) to the rear, set the desired angle and refasten the screw securing the soleplate (11).

Adapter for dust extraction system (Figure 5/Item 6)

Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner using the adaptor for dust extraction (6). This will provide excellent dust extraction on the workpiece. The benefits are that you will protect both the equipment and your own health. Your work area will also be cleaner and safer. • Dust created when working may be dangerous. Refer to the section entitled “Safety instructions”.
Attach the adaptor (6) as shown in Figure 5, so that it is securely seated in the housing.
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner onto the adaptor opening (6). Check that the connections are airtight.

Operation

ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3)

To switch on:

Press the ON/OFF switch

To switch off :

Release the ON/OFF switch 6.2 Locking button (Fig. 6/Item 2) You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the locking button (2) when the equipment is in operation. To switch off the equipment briefl y hold down the ON/OFF switch (3).

Electric speed selector (Fig. 6/Item 1)

You can pre-select the required speed with the speed selector. Turn the speed selector in PLUS director to increase the speed and turn the speed selector in MINUS direction to reduce the speed. The suitable stroke speed is dependent on the relevant material and working conditions. General rules for cutting speeds for metal cutting work must be complied with here as well. You can generally use a higher speed with fi ne saw blades whilst coarser saw blades require lower speeds.

Position 1-2 = low stroke speed (for steel)
Position 3-4 = medium stroke speed (for steel, soft metal, plastic)
Position 5-6 = high stroke speed (for softwood, hardwood, soft metal, plastic)

Setting the pendulum action (Fig. 7/Item 8)

The strength of the pendulum action of the saw blade (12) can be adjusted using the selector switch for pendulum action (8).
You can adjust the cutting speed, the cutting performance and the finish to the workpiece you wish to saw. Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to one of the following positions:
- Position 0: No pendulum action
- Material: Rubber, ceramic, aluminium, steel
- Please note: For fi ne and clean cuts, thin materials (e.g. sheet steel) and hard materials.
- Position 1: Small pendulum action
- Material: Plastic, wood, aluminium
- Please note: For hard materials
- Position 2: Medium pendulum action
- Material: Wood
- Position 3: Large pendulum action
- Material: Wood
- Please note: For soft materials and sawing along the grain

The best combination of speed and pendulum action depends on the material you wish to saw. We recommend you to make a trial cut on a waste piece in order to check the ideal settings.

Making cuts

Important!

For exact, straight and long cuts, we recommend using a saw blade with a thickness of at least 1.5 mm.

Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (3) is not depressed. Only then should you connect the mains plug to a suitable socket.
Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have fitted a saw blade.
Use only saw blades that are in perfect condition. Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw blades immediately.
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish to saw. Switch on the jigsaw.
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches full speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along the cutting line. Only exert gentle pressure on the saw blade as you do so.
When cutting metal, apply a suitable coolant along the line you wish to cut.

Sawing out sections (Fig. 8)

Drill a 10 mm hole in the section you wish to saw out. Insert the saw blade into this hole and start to saw out the required section.

Making miter cuts

Set the angle on the soleplate (see section 5.3).
Observe the instructions in section 6.5
Cut as shown in Figure 9.

Replacing the power cable

Danger!

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Carbon Brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment that require additional maintenance.
