Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVe ALL wARNINgS ANd INSTRUCTIONS fOR fUTURe RefeReNCe.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

wORK AReA SAfeTY

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

eLeCTRICAL SAfeTY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. do

not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

5

6


• when operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground-fault

circuit interrupter (gfCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PeRSONAL SAfeTY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection, used for appropriate conditions, will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the

tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

POweR TOOL USe ANd CARe

• do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.

• do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SeRVICe

• have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SCROLLINg ANd ORbITAL ACTION (fig 5)

• SCROLLINg “S”- this mode allows 360° blade rotation using the scrolling knob.

There is no orbital action in this mode.

Use with a scroll blade to cut intricate scroll patterns in all materials.

fig 5

• SMOOTh “0”- for cutting all materials using the normal up and down blade motion with minimal splintering. There is no orbital action in this mode. Use this mode for cutting hardwoods, mild steel, soft and hard materials using fine wood-cutting and smooth metal cutting blades.

• LOw “1”- for cutting most metal, plastics and hardwoods, with a slightly aggressive orbital action.

• MedIUM “2”- for cutting most metal, plastics, and hardwoods with a more aggressive orbital action than the LOW mode.

• fAST “3”- for maximum orbital action and the fastest cutting speed in plywood, soft woods and softer materials.

Choose the SCROLLING (S) or SMOOTH (0) setting with the scrolling/orbital control lever for normal up and down blade motion (position S and 0).

Choose the LOW or MEDIUM settings for the least aggressive orbital blade actions (positions 1 and 2).

Choose the FAST setting for the fastest, most aggressive cutting with maximum orbital blade action (position 3).

Position S

SCROLLINg in all materials.

Position 0

SMOOTh for reduced in all materials.

geNeRAL CUTTINg TIPS

1. Always place the best or “finished” side of the workpiece “face down” so that it does not get scraped or abused while sawing. Always clamp the workpiece securely before sawing.

2. Draw your cutting lines, patterns or designs on the “backside”, facing you.

This means that they should be reversed or backwards from the way they will appear on the “finished” side.

3. Always select the correct blade for your cutting application.

4. Place the front edge of the saw base on the material to be cut, and line up the blade with your cutting line, but do not allow the blade to contact the workpiece.

5. Hold the saw firmly and turn it on.

6. Press down (to keep the saw foot flat against the workpiece) as you slowly push the saw in the direction of the cut.

7. Gradually build up the blade speed, cutting as close to the line as possible

(unless you wish to leave enough room for finishing sanding).

8. You may need to reposition the vise or clamps as you cut in order to keep the workpiece stable.

9. Do not force the saw, because the blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting, which may result in breaking the blade.

10. Let the saw do most of the work.

11. Always cut slowly when following curves, so that the blade can cut through cross grain. This will provide an accurate cut, and will prevent the blade from wandering.

CUTTINg MeTAL

When cutting metal, always clamp down the metal workpiece and use a metal cutting blade. Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly as you cut. Use the low speeds (position 1, 2 or 3 on the variable-speed dial). Also use the

LOw

position on the orbital control lever.

Do not twist, bend or force the blade. If the saw jumps or bounces as you cut, change to a blade with finer teeth. If the blade begins to clog when cutting soft metal, change to a blade with coarser teeth.

For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax (if available) or cutting oil when cutting steel. Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood, or tightly clamped onto a single piece of wood (the wood on top of the metal). Draw the cutting lines or design on the top piece of wood.

When cutting aluminium extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench vise and saw close to the vise jaws. When sawing tubing with a diameter that is larger than the depth of the blade, cut through the wall of the tubing and then insert the blade into the cut, rotating the tube as you saw.

Spread the oil onto the blade or workpiece at regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear or overheating of the blade.

25

FPO

NOTe:

Always apply a steady, firm “DOWNWARD” pressure on the front and body of the saw as you cut. This will keep the saw blade from jumping out of the workpiece.

wARNINg!

• Always unplug the saw from the power source before oiling the blade or making any adjustments or attaching accessories.

• Always clamp and secure workpiece securely. Always maintain proper control of the saw. Failure to clamp and support the workpiece and loss of control of the saw could result in serious injury.

FPO

26


CUTTINg wITh A STRAIghTedge (fig 18)

1. Mark the cutting line. Position the straightedge parallel to the cutting line, at the same distance as between the blade and the side edge of the saw base.

2. Mark the side edge of the saw base, and then clamp the straightedge on the mark, parallel to the cut.

fig 18

3. As you cut, keep the edge of the saw base flush against the straightedge and flat on the workpiece.

Straightedge

PLUNge CUTTINg (fig 19)

Plunge cutting is useful and timesaving for making rough openings in soft materials. It makes it unnecessary to drill a hole for an inside or pocket cut.

1. Draw lines for the opening you want to cut.

fig 19

2. Hold the saw firmly, and tilt it forward so that the toe of the saw foot rests on the workpiece.

3. Make sure that the blade is well clear of the workpiece.

4. Start the saw and then gradually lower the blade into the workpiece, firmly holding the toe of the saw base in order to prevent side wobble.

5. Slowly pivot the saw downward, as if on a hinge, until the blade cuts through and the base rests flat on the workpiece.

6. Begin sawing along the cutting line in the usual manner.

MAKINg ShARP CORNeRS

1. Cut up to the corner, and then back up slightly before rounding the corner.

2. After the opening is complete, go back to each corner and cut it from the opposite direction in order to square it off.

27

NOTe:

Always use a rough-cut blade whenever possible.

wARNINg!

• To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching accessories.

• Do not let familiarity with your saw make you careless. Remember that a fraction of a second of carelessness is sufficient to cause severe injury.

• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses when operating this tool.

FPO

wARNINg!

• Do not use a scroll blade for plunge cutting.

• Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials, such as hardwoods like oak or maple, or metal such as steel.

28


CUTTINg CIRCLeS (fig 20) fig 20

This requires using a circle cutting/ straight edge guide (sold separately).

1. Before attaching the edge guide, draw a circle and drill a hole in the centre of the circle.

2. Drill or plunge cut near the edge of the circle.

3. Turn the saw off, and disconnect the plug from power source.

4. Attach the edge guide to the saw (the same way you attached the included edge guide), with the edge guide facing up.

5. Place the metal centre point on the edge into the hole in the centre of the circle. In order for the edge guide to cut a circle, the metal centre point must be aligned with the saw blade.

6. Measure the distance from the selected hole to the blade. This distance is equal to the radius of the circle.

7. Insert the saw’s plug into a power source.

8. Hold the saw firmly, squeeze the trigger switch, and slowly push the saw forward.

MAINTeNANCe befORe eACh USe:

• Inspect the orbital jigsaw, the on/off switch, and the cord for damage.

• Check for damaged, missing, or worn parts.

• Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, or any other condition that may affect the operation.

• If abnormal vibration or noise occurs, turn the saw off immediately, and have the problem corrected before further use. Unplug the saw from the socket before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Using compressed air may be the most effective cleaning method. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools using compressed air.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with an identical replacement part and be installed by an authorized service technician.

• Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oil, etc. come into contact with plastic parts. These substances contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause damage to the product.

• Use only accessories that are recommended for this saw by the manufacturer. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used with another tool.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind, and are easier to control.

• To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service technician.
