5. To start the jigsaw, squeeze the
trigger. Wait until the blade is running
at speed before attempting to cut
the workpiece.
6. Maintain the saw at constant speed
by pressing in the lock-on button.
• You can then release your finger
pressure on the trigger.
7. To stop the jigsaw if the lock-on
button is used, squeeze the trigger
fully in, then release it and the motor will stop.
USING THE JIGSAW
1. Place the sole-plate on the workpiece and squeeze the trigger to run the
jigsaw up to its working speed before letting the blade touch the cut line.
To make your cut, move the saw slowly forward along the cutting line.
2. Adjust the speed controller to suit the material being cut using the
following suggested settings as a starting point. However, the optimum
speed will be determined with practice.
Plastic
Steel
Hardboard
Ceramic, aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Timber, plywood & chipboard
4. Take extra care when cutting curves - move the blade slowly to avoid
stress on the blade.
5. When sawing, hold the jigsaw in front of you but do not put unnecessary
pressure on the blade and avoid applying lateral pressure.
6. Let the blade work through the workpiece, ensuring the sole plate is flush
with the workpiece.
ADJUSTING THE PENDULUM
The pendulum moves the blade away
from the cut on the down (non-cutting)
stroke. The pendulum can be particularly
useful when cutting thicker, denser
materials.
1. Adjust the control to suit the material
being worked, and try to balance its
use with adjustments to the speed of
the saw to achieve the optimum
setting for the job.
