Working hints for your jigsaw
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low
speed, set the speed to maximum and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to
cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
GeNeRal
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to
be cut. Always ensure the work–piece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. For easier control, use low speed to start cutting,
then increase to correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The
blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost. Ensure
your uppermost surface is a non-visible surface when your work is
finished.
cUttiNG laMiNateS
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood
materials. To reduce edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at
both ends on both sides and cut through the wood during cutting.
ciRcle cUttiNG
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles.
PlUNGe SawiNG
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood,
aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch
on. Press the machine firmly against the workpiece and plunge the
saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work
piece, continue to saw along the cutting line. (See Fig L1,L2)
