ADJUSTING THE PENDULUM
ACTION
The pendulum function determines how fast
the jigsaw can saw, and how fine the cut is. The
highest pendulum action saws quicker with a
rougher cut. The finest cuts are obtained when
the function is switched off.
FIG. 4
SAWING IN METAL
When sawing in thin sheet metal a thin
wooden board should be placed under the
metal and sawn together with the metal to
prevent the metal from bending. Note that the
jigsaw must be able to move freely before it will
cut into the material. Do not push the jigsaw in
the direction of the cut during the sawing.
To simplify the sawing and make the metal saw
blade last longer, apply a little oil to the cut.
SAWING IN PLASTIC
Plastic should if possible be sawn from
underneath, because the blade only cuts on
the upward movement and therefore can
produce irregularities on the upper surface.
For this same reason, always use a fine-
toothed saw blade. It is recommended to
place the plastic between two thin wooden
boards, especially for brittle materials.
SAWING IN WOOD
When sawing pieces of wood, place the jigsaw
with the base plate against the workpiece so
that the blade is about one centimetre from
the edge and lies flat against the wood. Start
the jigsaw and move it firmly forward. Press the
jigsaw firmly down against the material so that
it does not start to bounce.
NOTE:

If for some reason you stop sawing in the
middle of the cut, allow the saw blade to stop
completely before pulling it out.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Always remove the battery from the jigsaw
before cleaning the jigsaw or changing saw
blades.
CLEANING
NOTE:
Many detergents contain chemicals that can
corrode the plastic parts on the tool. Never
use petrol, turps, thinner or other similar
products.
• Clean the ventilation openings on the
jigsaw at regular intervals.
• Clean the jigsaw with a damp cloth.
Wipe dry afterwards.
• Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer work.
• Never open the jigsaw. If a fault or
malfunction occurs, hand in the tool to an
authorised service centre.
STORAGE
• When the jigsaw is not in use store it in a
dry and safe place with a temperature of
no more than 40°C and out of reach of
unauthorised persons.
• Do not store the battery and charger in
places where the temperature can reach
over 40°C, for example, in a car parked in
the sun.
• Do not expose the jigsaw, charger or
battery to moisture.
