Trigger switch

Note.

The trigger switch is only used in the conventional

jigsaw mode, when the

removable handle is fitted.
Pull up on the trigger switch (1)

to turn the jigsaw on. To turn

off the tool, release the trigger

switch (fig A).
CAUTION. Allow the blade

to come to a complete standstill

before setting the jigsaw down.

Lock-on button
Note.

The lock-on button

eliminates the need to hold

the trigger switch (1) on during

prolonged operation.
With the trigger engaged in the

“on” position, push in the lock-

on button (3) to lock the trigger

switch “ON” (fig B).
To release the lock-on, engage and release trigger switch (1).

On/off switch
Note.

The on/off switch (2) is

used only in the barrel saw

mode, when the removable

handle (9) has been taken off

the jigsaw.
Push the on/off switch (2) forward

and up over the latching ramp to

lock the switch on (fig C).
To turn off the tool, press the

back of the switch and lift it over

the latching ramp (fig D).

CAUTION.

Allow the blade to

come to a complete standstill

before setting the jigsaw down.

Blade guard

The blade guard (6) should

always be in position when

operating the jigsaw. It can be

removed to allow easier access

when changing blades (fig E).

Blade guide

The grooved disc blade guide

(7) is spring loaded so that it can

accomodate varying jigsaw blade

widths. It supports the back edge

of the blade, keeping it running

straight and helping to prevent

the blade from bending which

improves the accuracy of the cut

and reduces the chance of blade

breakage (fig F).

Note.

Depending on the position of the pendulum lever, the

blade guide remains stationary (non-pendulum) or oscillates

backwards and forwards, causing the blade to cut with a

pendulum action.

Anti splintering insert

Because jigsaws cut on the up

stroke, the top layer of wood,

particularly plywood, tends to

tear and splinter thus obscuring

the line of the cut and causing a

rough edge. The splinter insert

supports the wood fibres on the

top layer of the workpiece and

greatly reduces the splintering

effect.
1. With the power off, slide the

anti splinter insert (23) up to

the jigsaw blade (fig Ga & Gb).

Ensure the jigsaw’s pendulum

lever (5) is switched to zero

(ie. Position 1).
