Parallel cuts
Note. Parallel cuts can be
achieved using the parallel guide
(20) (fig g). or by clamping a
straight edge to your workpiece
(fig h).
Fit the parallel guide to the
jigsaw shoe and position the
guide against the edge of the
workpiece. Slide the jigsaw along
until the blade lines up with your
cut line and tighten the guide
locking knob.
Ensure that the guide remains
evenly against the edge of the
workpiece while cutting.
If the guide cannot be extended
enough to achieve your cut, clamp a straight batten onto the
workpiece, positioning it until that the blade aligns with the
cut line. Ensure the jigsaw shoe remains evenly against the
batten during the cut.
Maintenance
Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from
the power supply before making
any adjustments or carying out
any maintenance procedures.
Keep the tool’s air vents
unclogged and clean at all times. Regularly check to see
if any dust or foreign matter has entered the grills near the
motor and around the switches. Use a soft brush to remove
any accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your
eyes whilst cleaning. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular
intervals.
If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact
with the tool.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a soft brush or a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth
is recommended.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the
fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
