OPERATING OF THE TOOL
Before every operation, you should ensure that the saw blade is installed correctly, and the saw blade guard is in its place, Wear
eye protection, hearing protectors and working gloves. Mount the workpiece to the workstation, for example by using carpentry
clamps, vice, etc. Never hold the cut material only by hands or other parts of the body. In the case of cutting you must support the
material at its ends and near the cut line. Supports must be placed on both sides of the cut line so during cutting, the blade would
not jammed in the cut kerf. During cutting the foot must be supported by its whole surface on the cut material. To the outlet of the
dust extraction connection your should connect the dust extraction installation.
Switching on and off the jig saw
You should make sure that at the work place the surface is even, stable and free of pollution.
Adopt a stable stand.
Grab the tool by the handle. You should not rest any parts of the working tools on any subject or object.
Push and hold the blocking of the switch, and then press it by your finger and hold it. After you press the switch it is not necessary
to hold the lock. Check whether the saw blade is moving freely, and the tool does not suspiciously or excessively vibrate, it is not
emitting smoke or a strange smell. If you notice any deviations from the correct operation, you should turn off the tool, disconnect
the battery and pass the electric tool to the authorized repair service.
The tool is stopped after releasing the pressure on the switch. After switching of, the saw blade can move for some time.
The speed of the saw blade can be adjusted by the degree of the switch pressure, the greater the pressure on the on/off switch,
the greater the speed of the saw blade.
Cutting in a straight line
Before you start cutting it is recommended that you mark the cut line, for example by using a pencil. You should also make sure
that the cut material does not contain items of different hardness. For example, cut the wood should not contain nails, staples and
other metal items. You should also avoid the electrical wires, that may be hidden in the cut material.
Rest the tool base front on the cut material so the saw blade is not touching it.
Turn on the tool and let the saw blade achieve full adjusted speed.
Start cutting by leading the jigsaw with your both hands. During cutting you should press the saw to the surface and, at the same
time, by a smooth motion lead it along the cutting line. Use the minimum pressure which allows for the correct operation. Avoid
tilting the jigsaw, hitting by the blade in the crossing material and changes in direction of the cut. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may lead to jamming of the saw blade in the cut material, damage or destruction (cracks) blade or cut material, as well as
to damage of the jigsaw itself.
During cutting a hard metal, for example a steel, your should use frequent breaks to cool the saw blade.
Cutting the curved line
You should comply with all the recommendations as in the case of cutting in a straight line, but you should use the saw blades
which are designed to cut arcs. They have a narrower blade than the saw blades designed for straight cutting and they make it
easier to cut arcs.
In the case of cutting holes, you should mark the shape of the cut hole, and then, at its edge, drill a hole with a diameter larger
than the width of the cutting blade. Drilled hole wall should be touching the line of the marked hole, which will be cut. In the hole
you should insert the saw blade of the jig saw and start cutting.
Additional notes
Do not allow to overload the tool, its external surfaces temperature should never exceed 60 C.
O
At the end of work you should turn off the tool, disconnect the battery, then make maintenance and inspection.
The declared, total declared value of vibration was measured by the standard test method, and it can be applied to compare one
tool to another. The declared total value of vibration can was used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Attention! The vibration emissions when working with the tool can differ from the declared value, depending on how you use the
tool.
Attention! You should specify the security measures to protect the operator, which are based on an assessment of exposure in
the actual
conditions of operation (including in it all parts of the work cycle, such as, for example, the time when the tool is turned off or it is
idling, and its activation time).
MAINTENANCE AND OVERHAUL
ATTENTION! Before any adjustment, technical service or maintenance operations unplug the tool. Once the operations have been
finished, the technical conditions of the tool must be assessed by means of external evaluation and inspection of the following
elements: body and handle, conductor with a plug and deflection, functioning of the electric switch, patency of ventilation slots,
sparking of brushes, noise level of functioning of bearings and gears, start-up and smoothness of operation. During the guarantee
