5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
Warning!
e Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
e The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Most important: You must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use
will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilled on the floor
could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good natural
light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dusty locations as it will have a negative
effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all
cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended
while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up
and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what
they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an
application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool
will result in tool failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become
entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be dangerous
if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes wear a
dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be
protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect
against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the
more common hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are associated with
the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if
possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if
possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply
cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a
mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This
could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged
or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable keep blades
sharp, moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean and emergency devices working.
- 6 -
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to
set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they
have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and
take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If
the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When
using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in
use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess
current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool
if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are
feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone qualified,
using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe to use.
IMPORTANT
If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding
maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound.
Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.
5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIGSAWS
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A cutting accessory contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could cause an electric
shock to the operator.
— Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Changing blades
— Ensure the saw is unplugged before changing blades and take care to prevent entrapment of
the fingers between the blade and the shoe. Ensure the blade is secure before use.
— Use the appropriate blade for the material being cut. Different blades are available from your
Draper stockist.
— Only use blades in perfect working condition. Discard and replace any cracked or bent saw
blades.
When sawing
— Use of the mains cable: Ensure the mains cable is kept well away from the saw blade and
ensure an adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by
the length of the cable.
— Allow sufficient clearance beneath the work to ensure the blade does not come into contact
with the floor, bench etc.
— Switching off: Never place the saw on a table or bench if it has not completely stopped. The
saw blade will continue to operate for a short time after the trigger has been released to stop
the saw.
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
— Cutting of pipes: Use caution when cutting hollow pipe and do not cut material where the blade
can enter the pipe when fully retracted, this can cause the blade to strike the inside of the pipe
causing the user to experience unexpected reaction forces.
— Cutting into walls: Do not cut through walls or cavities without checking for hidden electrical
wires or water pipes.
— Do not attempt to remove tool from work until the blade has completely stopped and allow time
for it to cool before touching the blade immediately after use.
— Use clamps and vices to secure the workpiece where possible.
— Cutting sheet materials — Do not cut material less than at least twice the pitch of the saw blade.
At least two teeth must be in contact with the work at all times.
— Beware foreign objects — When cutting pre-used wood, ensure all nails have been removed
beforehand. Nails will damage the saw blade.
— Cooling agents — When cutting materials, always use a cooling agent, i.e. cutting/soluble oil.
— Do not attempt to saw small objects including those which cannot be properly secured. Always
hold the saw with both hands.
5.3 RESIDUAL RISK
Important note: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain
extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain
residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must
therefore always be operated with caution!
5.4 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded 3 pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse
fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute
is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BS Kite marked.
ASTA
BSI Y
The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced
before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement
must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.
If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent
connection to a live electrical outlet.
This appliance is Class IIT and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that
detailed on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.
Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead.
tDouble insulated [O] : This product requires no earth connection as supplementary insulation is
applied to the basic insulation to protect against electric shock in the event of failure of the basic
insulation.
IMPORTANT
If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding maximum
load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound. Using a coiled
extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.

8. PREPARING THE ORBITAL JIGSAW
8.1 BLADE INSTALLATION AND
REPLACEMENT - FIGS. 4-5
A jigsaw can be used for a variety of applications so
the correct blade choice is important.
— If already in place, slide off the clear plastic dust
guard (15).
— Twist and hold the quick change blade clamp (3).
— Slide the blade up into the blade clamp (3) with
the teeth facing forward.
— Release the quick change blade clamp to hold and
lock the blade in place.
Note: This jigsaw will only fit Bayonet blades.
- 11 -
9. BASIC ORBITAL JIGSAW OPERATIONS
9.1 TRIGGER SWITCH AND LOCKING
BUTTON OPERATION - FIG.3
To operate the saw:
— Depress the ON/OFF trigger switch (1).
For continuous saw operation:
— Depress the ON/OFF trigger switch (1) whilst
pressing in the continuous locking button (2).
— Release the ON/OFF trigger switch — the saw will
now run in continuous operation.
— Depress the ON/OFF button (1) to stop the saw.
e Always wear ear defenders during use.
Caution: The saw blade may continue moving for a
couple of seconds after the switch is released.
9.2 VARIABLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
— FIG.4
The variable speed adjustment dial is
conveniently located near the top of the handle section
so that the operator can use the thumb to adjust the
speed whilst the saw is in operation.
— There are 6 available speed settings. Position 1
being slowest, through to position 6, the fastest.
9.3 ORBITAL/PENDULUM
ADJUSTMENT - FIG.5
The pendulum action acts on the rear of the blade to
aid cutting performance and speed.
The 3 adjustable settings provide faster and more
efficient cutting actions across a range of timber and
plastic/PVC materials. The orbital motion of the cutting
blade cuts through the workpiece in the upstroke, but
doesn't drag across the workpiece on the down-stroke.
— Rotate the orbital/pendulum adjustment switch
to activate the required setting.
e Position 1 applies a small amount of pendulum
action, resulting in a smoother finish cut —
this will be at a slower cutting speed.
e Position 2 applies a medium amount of
pendulum action.
e Position 3 has the most aggressive action, with
a faster cut, but with the roughest finish.
9.4 LED WORKLIGHT/LASER GUIDE
— FIG.6
This machine has a combination of an LED worklight
and laser guide. To select a particular function:
Laser guide only:
— Press button (5) once. Laser will switch on.

9. BASIC ORBITAL JIGSAW OPERATIONS
LED Worklight only:
— Press button (5) twice: The laser guide will
switch off and the LED worklight will illuminate.
LED Worklight and Laser guide:
— Press button (5) three times: The laser guide
and the LED Worklight will both illuminate
simultaneously.
— Press button (5) forth time to turn off both the
laser guide and LED Worklight.
9.5 GENERAL CUTTING
Important: Always wear safety goggles.
Important: Due to the shape of the body, this
machine can be operated with only one hand, but for
reasons of safety it is strongly advised to keep both
hands on the machine during use.
Note: Applying pressure on the blade can overload
the motor and result in damage.
— During cutting operations, make sure that the base
is always resting on the workpiece.
— When cutting metals, it is advisable to spread a
few drops of oil on the cutting line to help keep the
blade cool and help prolong the blade life.
— Sheets should always be rested on sufficient
stable supports (chipboard or plywood tables). In
this manner dragging is avoided and the elasticity
of the material is compensated for.
— Small workpieces should be securely clamped in
order that they remain in position during working
operations (for example: fix in position with a
clamp).
Note: When using longer blades and cutting thicker
material, sideways pressure can cause the blade to
bend and start to bevel the cut edge. Keep the blade
straight to ensure a perpendicular cut.
Caution: Make certain the end of the blade does not
contact obstructions below the workpiece as this will
cause the saw to recoil and possibly result in the
blade breaking and injury.
9.6 ANGLED/BEVEL CUTTING - FIGS. 7-9
For making bevel cuts the base can be adjusted to angles of 22° and 45° in either direction.
— Using the supplied hex. key (19), loosen the hex. bolt located on the underside of the base plate
(13).
— Slide the base plate (9) backwards and adjust to the desired angle.
— Slide the base plate forwards, locking in position and re-tighten the hex bolt to secure.
Note: If using the jigsaw in conjunction with the parallel guide (17), it must be removed to carry out the
above step.
Note: Convenient hex. key storage is incorporated into the base of the power supply cable (fig.9).
FIG.9

9. BASIC ORBITAL JIGSAW OPERATIONS
9.7 PARALLEL GUIDE - FIG. 10
If the material to be cut has a straight edge, the
supplied parallel guide can be used as an aid to
track the straight edge.
— Pass the parallel guide through the points in the
base.
— Tighten the two parallel guide locking knobs to
secure the guide firmly.
Make a test cut on a scrap piece of timber prior to
making any cuts on the work piece and adjust
accordingly.
Note: When not in use, tighten bolts to prevent
them vibrating loose and getting lost.
9.8 DUST EXTRACTION/DUST BLOW
— FIGS.11 — 13
Dust extraction
Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to
health. When using the saw in dust extraction mode,
the dust extraction outlet (12) must be connected to a
suitable dust extraction device.
— The saw is supplied with a dust extraction adaptor
that slots onto the dust extraction outlet .
This enables the saw to be connected up to a
suitable dust extraction device.
When using the saw with connected extraction the
switch must be in the left position, this opens a
channel, so the air can extracted from the blade area
keeping any marked cut lines visible.
Dust blow
If you must use the machine without extraction, put the
slider in the right position, this causes the air from the
motor to exit near the cut line, performing the same
function of clearing sawdust away from any marked
cutting lines.
Warning! All wood dust (including dust from
composites like chipboards and fibre boards etc.) is
hazardous to health. It can affect the nose, the
respiratory system and the skin. For example MDF
(medium density fibreboard) which contains
formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In addition to the
above measures a correctly fitted dust mask, suitable
for the activity and in accordance to the relevant
standard, must be worn.
— Contact Draper Tools for details of the
comprehensive range of professional CE
marked face masks available — all conforming to
EN specifications.
