9 Putting the Machine into Operation

9.1 Adjusting the Support
When cutting, prop the machine up against the support [3] to
limit how much vibration is transmitted to the hands and to
minimise the risk of kickback [jamming of the saw blade in
the material].
To adjust the support, use the enclosed hex key [11] to loosen the
arresting screws [4]. Then slide the support in or out as needed so
that the overhanging portion of the saw blade is sufficiently long
to cut the chosen material. The length of the overhanging part of
the saw blade must be equal to the sum of the thickness of the
cut material, stroke length [22 mm] and a margin of at least 10 mm.
Once the support is in position, re‑tighten the arresting screws [4].

9.2 Turning the Machine On

The machine is fitted with a lock‑on button [2] for the ON switch.
While the ON switch [1] is pressed, press the lock‑on button to
lock the switch in the ON position. To release, press the ON switch
again [1].
Pressing the switch [1] and gradually pushing it down or releasing
it regulates the speed.
9.3 Turning the Machine Off
Release the switch [1]. The rundown time of the spindle is reduced
by a brake once the machine is off.
ATTENTION!
Before you do any work on the power
tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change), unplug it from
the socket!. Otherwise, accidentally pressing the
switch could cause injury.
ATTENTION!
If the saw blade gets jammed, immedi-
ately turn off the power tool.
9.4 Adjusting the Main Handle
Adjusting the placement of the main handle [9] allows the user
to take up a more comfortable position for work that also allows
access to all the control elements of the tool. The main handle [9]
is designed for adjustment along the longitudinal axis of the pow‑
er tool into five positions (0 ° – default position; +45 °,+90 °, ‑45 °
and ‑90 °). To adjust the main handle [9] to the position of choice,
press the release button [10] and set the handle into one of the five
available positions along the longitudinal axis. Once the release
button automatically clicks in place, the handle is firmly secured
in the given position.
10 Tips for Use
When cutting light construction material, follow the legal
provisions and recommendations provided by the manufac-
turer of the material. Before cutting wood, chipboard, con-
struction material etc., check that they do not contain foreign
objects such as nails, screws etc. Use a suitable saw blade.
Turn the machine on and guide it to the workpiece. Lean the sup‑
port [3] against the surface of the workpiece and cut the material
while pushing or pulling along its surface evenly. When you're fin‑
ished, turn the machine off.
If the saw blade gets stuck, immediately turn the machine off.
Spread the cut using a suitable tool and pull the machine and
the saw blade out of the cut.Plunge Cutting
The machine can only be used for plunge cutting in soft mate-
rials such as wood, plasterboard etc.! Do not plunge cut met-
als! Only plunge cut using saw blades that are no longer than
100 mm. Longer saw blades do not allow the support to be
mounted and the machine thus lacks the necessary stability!
Lean the support [3] of the machine against the workpiece so that
the saw blade [7] touches the workpiece and then turn the tool on.
Fully press the switch [1] to achieve maximum strokes per minute.
Push the machine firmly against the workpiece and let the saw
blade slowly sink into the workpiece. Once the support [3] makes
contact with the workpiece along its entire surface, keep cutting
along the chosen cutting line.

10.1 Flattening
When combined with elastic bimetallic saw blades, the tool can be
used to, e.g., cut off protruding structural elements, such as water
pipes, right along the surface of the wall.
Make sure the saw blade is always longer than the diameter of
the workpiece. Risk of kickback.
Place the saw blade flat against the wall and bend it slightly by
pushing sideways onto the machine, until the support [3] makes
contact with the wall. Turn on the machine and cut through the
workpiece while applying constant pressure from the side. Keep
in mind, however, that there is a risk of damaging the surface
of the wall!
For some operations, the saw blade [7] can be flipped 180° to
cut in the opposite direction.
10.2 Coolant/Lubricant
To cut metal, it is advised to apply a cooling or lubricating agent
along the cutting line to prevent overheating.

11 Maintenance and service

ATTENTION!
Risk of el. shock. Prior to start any oper-
ation, pull the plug out of the socket!
The vents [8] on the motor housing must not be covered or
clogged.
When the carbon brushes are worn down, the tool switches off
automatically. The tool must be brought to a service centre for
maintenance.
It is recommended to clean the tool regularly. Remove all dust, res‑
idues of mixed material and other dirt. Using cleaning agents that
contain solvents may erode or damage painted surfaces and plas‑
tic parts. If you use such cleaning agents, it is recommended to try
them out first on a small area that is not very visible. The vents on
the motor housing must not be covered or clogged!
Leave the replacement of any parts, e.g., carbon brushes, power
cable etc., to an authorised service centre. Should the tool fall or
suffer a hard impact, have it checked by an authorised service cen‑
tre to ensure the tool is mechanically and electrically safe to use.
ATTENTION!
With respect to protection from el. shock
and preservation of the class of protection, all mainte-
nance and service operations requesting jig saw case
removal must be performed by the authorized service centre
only!
The current list of authorized service centres can be found at our
website www.narex.cz.

12 Accessories

The accessories recommended for use with this device are availa‑
ble commercially in the shops with hand el. tools.
13 Storage
Packed appliance may be stored in dry, unheated storage place
with temperature not lower than ‑5 °C.
Unpacked appliance should be stored only in dry storage place

temperature changes.

14 Environmental protection

Do not dispose of power tools into household waste!
Power tools, accessories and packaging should be sorted for envi‑
ronmental‑friendly recy.
Only for EU countries:
According to the European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electri‑
cal and electronic equipment and its incorporation into national
law, power tools that are no longer suitable for must be separate‑
ly collected and sent for recovery in an environmental‑friendly
manner.
