Parallel cuts
Note.

Parallel cuts can be

achieved using the parallel guide

(20) (fig g). or by clamping a

straight edge to your workpiece

(fig h).
Fit the parallel guide to the

jigsaw shoe and position the

guide against the edge of the

workpiece. Slide the jigsaw along

until the blade lines up with your

cut line and tighten the guide

locking knob.
Ensure that the guide remains

evenly against the edge of the

workpiece while cutting.
If the guide cannot be extended

enough to achieve your cut, clamp a straight batten onto the

workpiece, positioning it until that the blade aligns with the

cut line. Ensure the jigsaw shoe remains evenly against the

batten during the cut.

Maintenance

Always ensure that the tool is

switched off and unplugged from

the power supply before making

any adjustments or carying out

any maintenance procedures.
Keep the tool’s air vents

unclogged and clean at all times. Regularly check to see

if any dust or foreign matter has entered the grills near the

motor and around the switches. Use a soft brush to remove

any accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your

eyes whilst cleaning. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular

intervals.
If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft

damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like

alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION.

Water must never come into contact

with the tool.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried

out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Cleaning

1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done

with a soft brush or a rag.

3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION.

Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic

parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth

is recommended.

General inspection

Regularly check that all the

fixing screws are tight. They

may vibrate loose over time.
