Note.

For accurate work it is necessary to do a practise cut

first. Check the cut and reset the angle until the correct cut

is achieved.

Variable speed dial

Note.

Adjusting the speed to

suit the application enhances

cutting performance and saves

the blade from undue wear.

To determine optimum cutting

speed, first perform test cuts on

offcuts of the workpiece.
Rotate the dial (8), located at the

back of the jigsaw to set the blade speed (fig S).
Position “1” denotes the lowest speed.
Position “6” denotes the highest speed.

Barrel mode

Note.

The handle (9) can be

removed to allow the tool to be

operated as a barrel jigsaw.

This permits better control when

using the scroll function and

when cutting non-horizontal

workpieces (fig T).
To remove the handle (9) first

grip the handle with the rear

of the saw to the front. Then

use your thumb to lift the

handle release catch (10) and

simultaneously pushing the

handle towards the rear of

the saw.
The handle will slide backwards

and can be removed from

the tool (fig U).

To refit the handle, slide the

handle into position with the

handle locating pin (11) in the

slot at the back of the jigsaw

housing. Push it fully forward

until the handle release catch

(10) locks positively into position

(fig V).

Note.

When not in use, store

the handle in the carry case for

safe keeping.

Parallel guide

Note.

Use of parallel guide (20)

permits accurate parallel cuts,

from an edge, without the need

to mark and follow a pencil line.
The parallel guide can be used

on the left or the right of the

blade. Locate the parallel guide

locking knob (21) on the side that

the fence will be used.
With the parallel guide locking

knob (21) loosened, slide the

guide (20) into the mounting slots

on the shoe plate, from either the

left or right hand side (fig W).
Slide the fence to the required

cut width and tighten the locking

knob to secure the fence

in position (fig X).

Laser sighting

Using the REDEYE

laser line system Laser light assembly

The laser light is powered from a transformer housed within

the assembly. The REDEYE

laser line can be used for

improved operator cutting vision, accuracy of cut, faster

setup and increased safety of operation.
