2. With a blade fitted move the variable speed dial (8) to

number 3 (low speed).

3. Apply pressure to the front of the anti splinter guard on

the edge of a work surface until it is flat with the front

edge of the shoe plate (18) (fig Ha & Hb).

Changing a blade

Note.

This jigsaw is fitted with a tool-free mechanism for

fast and simple “T” and “U” shank blade removal and fitting.

WARNING.

Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and plug is removed from the power point before changing

blades or making any adjustments.

Removing the blade

Remove the blade guard (6) to

afford better access to the blade

clamp.
Push the tool-free blade change

control (17) upwards towards the

top of the jigsaw, making sure

that your fingers do not contact

the teeth of the blade (fig I).
With the blade change control (17) in its uppermost position,

remove the blade by pulling it downwards towards the base

of the jigsaw.

Refitting a new blade

Push the blade change control (17) to its uppermost position

and slide the new blade into the locating groove in the blade

clamp with the teeth pointing forward. Make sure that the

back of the blade is located and supported by the blade

guide (7) (fig I).

Release the blade change control (17) to secure the blade

firmly in place.
Reposition the blade guard (6).
Replace the plug and run the

jigsaw under no load to check

that it runs smoothly and the

blade is secure before using it to

cut any materials.

Blade storage

To gain access to the blade

storage areas (24), open the

release tabs (25) located at each

corner of the rear of the shoe

plate (18) (fig J).

Pendulum adjustment

Note.

The blade can be set to

produce a front to rear swinging

(pendulum) action when cutting.

This can increase the jigsaws

cutting efficiency, depending on

the material being cut.
The pendulum action is functional

on pendulum lever positions 1, 2

& 3 – the higher the setting the

greater the pendulum action.

Note.

Increasing the swing of

the pendulum action results in a

rougher finish to the cutting edge.
The scrolling control knob (4) must be positioned forward

(with the arrow on the scrolling knob and jigsaw housing

aligned) before the pendulum can be engaged (fig K).
Rotate the pendulum lever (5)

(fig L) to the position that best suits the job, as follows:
Position S. SCROLLING – for the cutting of all materials

and with manual 360° rotation of the blade using the

scrolling controlling knob (4).
Position 0. SMOOTH - for cutting mild steel / soft materials

/ all materials with normal up and down blade motion with

minimal splintering.
