5.2 Changing the saw blade
(Figs. 3-4/Item 12)
Important.
•
You can fit or replace saw blades without
using any other tools.
•
Pull out the mains plug before you fit or repla-
ce a saw blade.
•
Set the selector switch for pendulum action
(8) to position D (see Fig. 10).
•
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
•
Remove the safety guard (15).
•
Press the blade holder (14) and insert the
saw blade (12) into the blade holder (14) as
far as the stop (Fig. 3). The teeth on the saw
blade must be pointing forwards.
•
Allow the blade holder (14) to slide back to
starting position. The saw blade (12) must sit
in the guide roller (10) (Fig.4).
•
Check that the saw blade (12) is securely
mounted in the blade holder.
•
To remove the saw blade, follow the instruc-
tions above in reverse order.
5.3 Installing the parallel stop (Fig. 5/Item 11)
•
The parallel stop (11) enables you to saw
parallel cuts.
•
Undo the two locking screws (13) on the so-
leplate (7).
•
Now slide the parallel stop into the guides on
the soleplate (7). You can fit the parallel stop
(11) on either the left or right of the equip-
ment.
•
The guide strip must always face downwards.
Set the required distance using the measu-
rement scale on the parallel stop (11) and
tighten the locking screws (13) again.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 6)
•
Undo the locking lever (16) on the soleplate.
•
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 sole-
plate (9). Move the soleplate into the required
position and refasten the locking lever (16).
•
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set
to another angle. To do so, slide the soleplate
(7) backwards, set the desired angle and re-
fasten the locking lever (16).
Important. For miter cuts you must remove the
locking screws for the parallel stop (13) and the
GB
splinter guard (17).
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system
(Fig. /Item 5)
•
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner
using the adaptor for dust extraction (5). This
will provide excellent dust extraction on the
work piece. The benefits are that you will pro-
tect both the equipment and your own health.
Your work area will also be cleaner and safer.
•
Dust created when working may be dange-
rous. Refer to the section entitled "Safety
instructions".
•
Fit the adapter (5) as shown in Fig. 7. The
adapter (5) must audibly engage to ensure
that it is secure in the soleplate (7). The adap-
ter for chip extraction (5) cannot be used for
miter cuts.
•
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner
onto the adaptor opening (5). Check that the
connections are air-tight.
5.6 Splinter guard (Fig. 15/Item 17)
The splinter guard (17) ensures that the material
you want to cut does not splinter or crack during
sawing. To use the splinter guard (17), proceed
as follows:
1. Bend the two lugs (a) on the soleplate guard
(b) slightly outwards and raise the soleplate
guard.
2. Remove the soleplate guard (b) from the so-
leplate (7) as shown in Fig. 15.
3. Insert the splinter guard (17) into the sole-
plate guard (b). As you do so, make sure that
the arrows on the splinter guard and on the
soleplate guard coincide as shown in Fig. 15.
The soleplate guard (b) can now be placed on the
soleplate (7) again. Proceed in reverse order.
Important. The splinter guard (17) can be
used only for 0° cuts and must be removed
for miter cuts up to 45°!
