Fig. A

The machine must not be allowed to draw in

additional dust and shavings. When switching

the machine on and off, keep it away from dust

deposits. After switching off the machine, only place

it down when the motor has come to a standstill.

Avoid switching on the machine accidentally:

always switch it off when the battery pack is

removed from the machine.

In continuous operation, the machine

continues running if it is forced out of your

hands. Therefore always hold the machine with

both hands using the handle provided, stand

securely and concentrate.

Switching on: Push the slide switch (9) forward.

For continuous activation, now tilt downwards until

it engages.

Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide

switch (9) and release.

8.6 Note on use

Fig. E

Plunging You can plunge the jigsaw blade into

workpieces made from thin, soft materials without

needing to drill a hole beforehand. Only use short

saw blades. Only at 0° angle setting.

Set the adjustment lever (7) to the "0" position

(pendulum motion is deactivated). Position the

jigsaw with the front edge of the footplate (10) on the

workpiece. Hold the operating jigsaw firmly and

guide slowly downwards. Once the saw blade has

penetrated the workpiece, the pendulum motion

can be activated.

Clean the machine regularly. This includes

vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the

motor.

(19) Clean the saw blade clamping fixture regularly

and thoroughly by applying a jet of compressed air.

If necessary, clean the openings behind the saw

blade support roller (18).

Apply a drop of oil to the saw blade support roller

(18) from time to time.

If necessary, adjust the clamping force of the clamp

lever (22)

(

Fig. D): Release the safety screw

(23) and turn the clamping force screw (24) (turning

the screw anti-clockwise increases the clamping

force). Tighten the safety screw (23).

The LED light (4) is flashing SLOWLY and the

machine has been switched off automatically.

The machine switches off if it is overloaded for an

extended period or if the saw blade is jammed.

Switch off the machine at the slide switch (9).

Switch it on again and continue to work as normal.

Avoid any additional overloading or jamming.

The LED (4) is flashing quickly and the machine

is not running. The restart protection is active. The

machine will not start if the battery pack is inserted

while the machine is on. Switch the machine off and

on again.

Fig. F.

Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements

and specifications listed in these operating instruc-

tions.

Fit accessories securely. Secure the machine if it is

operated in a bracket. Loss of control can cause
