̆ If you are working for long periods on wood or materials which give rise to dangerous dusts, fit the jigsaw with a suitable tested vacuum
extraction device.
̆ Always use the integrated safety devices on the jigsaw.
̆ Do not drill into the jigsaw's housing as that will break the protective insulation (Use stick-on labels, plates etc.).
̆ Cracked or deformed saw blades are not to be used.
INSTALLING THE SAWBLADE
Push the saw blade shaft as far as the stop into the blade holder. Take the Allan key (from its holder in the case) and tighten both bolts.
To release saw blade unscrew both bolts (counter clockwise).

SETTING THE BASE PLATE
The base plate ² can be set at an angle of up to 45° to the left or right.
Angled setting for mitres / bevels (see Figure
ባ):
Release the HTF quick release base plate
¾ and pull the base plate to the rear to disengage from the multi-purpose teeth. With the base
plate at the desired angle (15°, 30°, 45°, which can be read from the scale) engage it with the multi-purpose teeth and tighten the HTF quick
release base plate again. You can set other angles up to 45° not using the multi-purpose teeth arrangement.
We recommend for very accurate bevelling that you carry out a test cut first.
CHIP GUARD
The chip guard ¶ stops almost all chips at the cutting edge when working with wood. From the underside of the base plate ², place the
chip guard
¶ into the recess in the base plate ² (see figures, page 3).
WARNING: Take note that this can only be done if the base plate is in its furthest forward position and the anti-slip shoe is removed.
Cutting with the chip guard in place can only be done in the 9O° position.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
When using the jigsaw you can select between continuous and non-continuous operation. For short periods of work use the non-continuous
setting and for longer periods of work the continuous setting. Select your chosen setting as follows:
SWITCH ON NON-CONTINUOUS OPERATION: press ON/OFF switch
³.
SWITCH OFF NON-CONTINUOUS OPERATION: release ON/OFF switch
³.
SWITCH ON CONTINUOUS OPERATION: press ON/OFF switch
³ and with it still pressed fix it in place
by pressing the continuous operation locking button
·.
SWITCH OFF CONTINUOUS OPERATION: press on/off switch
³ and release it again.
