Adjusting the bottom plate
Fig. C + D
Adjust the angle of the bottom plate as follows:
A. Loosen the socket head screws with the Allen
key supplied.
B. Turn the bottom plate to the right or left in the
desired sawing angle.
You can read this on the protractor. The
maximum sawing angle is 45º.
C. Tighten the socket head screws again.
Connecting and removing the battery
Fig. A + E
• Insert the battery into the base of the
appliance, as shown on the illustration. Push
the battery until it latches in.
• Press the locking button (4) on either side
before removing the battery, and disengage
the battery from the base of the appliance.
Only use batteries of the following type.
Using any other batteries could cause
serious injury or damage the tool.
CDA1051: FPB-1800L, 18V Lithium-Ion.
CDA1053: FPB-1800N, 18V NiMH.
The following charger can be used to
charge these batteries.
CDA1052: FPL-1800 (Lithium-Ion and NiMH).
CDA1054: FPL-1800N (NiMH only).

4. OPERATION

Always follow the safety notes and the
relevant safety code.
Switching on and off
• This machine is equipped with a safety switch.
• Start the machine by pressing the "lock off"
button (to disengage the switch) and switch on
the machine.
• Release the (On/Off) switch to switch the
machine off.
Speed control
Fig. A
The speed of the saw blade can be controlled with
the rotary knob at the top of the jig saw.
The higher the position, the higher the speed.
8
The highest position is 6. The ideal sawing speed
will depend on the profile and the tooth of the saw
blade and on the material you want to saw. For
soft materials, select a reasonably high speed and
a coarse tooth. If you want to saw hard materials,
select a lower speed and a fine tooth.
Pendulum setting
Fig. F
For an optimum sawing result you must set the
way in which the teeth of the saw blade
grip the material. You do this by adjusting the
pendulum (8).
• Soft material (wood, plastics etc.): set the
pendulum to level II or III. For a sharp saw cut,
use pendulum level 0 or I.
• Medium-hard material (hardwood, aluminium
etc.): set the pendulum depending on the
application. For thin material use pendulum
level 0, or I if you are working with rasps or
knives.
• Hard material (steel etc.): set the pendulum to
level 0.
• Curves: set pendulum to level 0.
You can adjust the pendulum level while the
appliance is in operation.
Guard
Fig. A
The jig saw is fitted with a guard (10). Make sure
that this guard is always mounted correctly while
the jig saw is in use.
Sawing
• Switch on the jig saw.
• Place the bottom plate of the appliance on the
work piece.
• Move slowly towards the previously drawn
sawing line and press the jig saw forward
slowly. Press the bottom plate firmly against
the work piece. If you do not do this the jig saw
is likely to vibrate and the saw blade will break.
Let the jig saw do the work. Do not press
too hard on the jig saw.
Cutting in
Fig. G
If the starting position of the work piece to be sawn
is not the side, or if no hole has been drilled, you
must cut in. To do this, proceed as follows:
