Changing A Blade; Operation - GMC LJS750CF Bedienungsanleitung

Changing a blade

Removing a blade
1. Turn the unit upside down so you
can access the jigsaw blade
2. Using a thumb and forefinger, push
down the Tool-Free Blade Change
Control (17) on both sides on the
jigsaw blade. Take care that fingers
do not come into contact with the
GB
teeth of the jigsaw blade
3. Whilst the Tool-Free Blade Change Control (17) is pressed down, the
old blade can be easily removed using the other hand
Note: If the blade is difficult to release using the blade change control,
lightly tap the end of the blade with a wooden mallet or similar. This will
free the blade which can then be released.
Fitting a new blade
1. With the Tool-Free Blade Change
Control (17) pressed down, slide
the new blade into the locating
groove in the blade clamp with the
teeth pointing forward. Ensure that
the blade rear edge is located and
supported by the Blade Guide (14)
2. Release the blade change control to
secure the blade in position
3. Replace the plug and run the jigsaw
under no load to check that it runs
smoothly and the blade is secure before using it to cut any materials

Operation

Switching the jigsaw on/off
1. Connect the tool to mains power
2. Switch on the tool by squeezing the
On/Off Trigger Switch (3)
3. Release the trigger to stop the tool
• If the Lock-On Button (4) is
pressed while the trigger switch is
depressed, the switch remains in
the operating position
• Press the trigger switch again to
disengage the lock-on button
Using the laser guide system
• The laser line generator emits an intense narrow beam of pure red light
to guide you as you cut. It improves operator cutting vision, enables
faster set-up, increases accuracy and improves safety.
• Use the Laser Light On/Off Switch (1) to switch the laser beam on or off
Making a cut
WARNING: Ensure the Blade Guard
(18) is in place whenever the jigsaw
is in use.
1. Position the front of the shoe plate
on the edge of the workpiece and
start the saw
2. Allow the blade to reach full speed
before engaging the workpiece
3. Slowly guide the jigsaw forward
using both hands, keeping the shoe
plate flat against the workpiece
4. Do not force the saw: allow the blade and the saw to do the work. Use
only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting
Pocket and circular cutting
• When starting a cut within a
workpiece, drill a 12mm diameter
hole to ensure there is clearance for
the blade
• When cutting tight curves, reduce
the speed of the saw
WARNING: Do not move the saw
forward along its cut until the blade has
completely entered the material and
the shoe comes to rest on its surface.
Using the parallel fence
• Use the Parallel Fence (12) to
guide the jigsaw along a straight
line, which can be an edge of the
workpiece or a piece of straight
timber clamped to the workpiece.
• The fence is particularly useful for
ensuring consistency when cutting
multiple strips from a single piece of
material
1. To fit the parallel fence, slide it into
the guides at the front of the Shoe
Plate (13)
2. Use the Parallel Guide Fixing
Screws (15) to secure in position
