Combined laser light/
LED switch
This jigsaw is fitted with two
forms of lighting to assist in
maintaining accurate alignment
with the cut line.
Both can be switched on and off
using switch (12). See fig. (Y).
Move switch (12) to the top position to activate the laser
beam. Move it to the bottom position to activate the LED
light. The mid position switches off both forms of lighting.
• Use the laser to assist in aligning the blade with the cut
line during operation.
• The LED worklight produces broader lighting and is better
used in low-lit conditions.
Laser aperture
When the REDEYE ® laser line
is switched on, an intense
narrow beam of pure red light is emitted from the laser
aperture (13). The line shines along the work piece to guide
you as you cut. The line is clearly visible and will not be
obscured by sawdust.
WARNINGS
• Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other
than the workpiece.
• Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and
ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person
for longer than 0.25s.
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy
workpiece without reflective surfaces. ie. wood or rough
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as
the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the
operator.
• Only turn laser beam on when tool is on the workpiece.
To use the laser wait until you have commenced cutting
then set the laser light on/off switch (12) to the on position.
Maintain alignment of the beam and your cut line while
slowly feeding the jigsaw through the cut.
Safety
Eye, ear and respiratory protection should be worn at all
times when using the jigsaw.
Dust control
The dust extraction adaptor
(15) can be fitted to the dust
extraction port (14) to allow
a dust extraction system or a
household vacuum cleaner to be
connected to the tool in order to
remove dust whilst the tool is in
use (fig Z).
WARNING. Do not use a dust
extraction system or a vacuum
cleaner when cutting metal.
Sparks may ignite residual wood
dust.
Note. When not being used, the
dust extraction adaptor (15) can
be disconnected from the jigsaw
shoe by pressing down on the thumb tab and pulling it out
from the shoe (fig a).
Operation
General cutting
Note.
Ensure that the blade is the correct type for the
application and that the length will extend through the
workpiece on the upstroke of the cut.
Determine how the jigsaw is best configured for the job -
whether the job is best carried out with the handle on or off,
scrolling function on or off or pendulum action on or off.
Configure the jigsaw as required.
