Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fig. D)

The shoe plate can be set to a left or right bevel angle of up to

45°.

◆ Turn the locking knob (9) in direction A to release the shoe

plate (8).

◆ Pull the shoe plate (8) backwards and set it to the

required angle. You can use the scale or a protractor to

check the angle.

◆ Turn the locking knob (9) in direction B to lock the shoe

plate in place.

To reset the shoe plate for straight cuts:

◆ Turn the locking knob (9) in direction A to release the shoe

plate (8).

◆ Pull the shoe plate backwards and set it to an angle of

approx. 0°.

◆ Push the shoe plate forward.

◆ Turn the locking knob (9) in direction B to lock the shoe

plate in place. Make sure that the shoe plate is supported

by the guide ribs.

Variable speed control

◆ Set the variable speed control knob (3) to the required

speed range. Use a high speed for wood, medium speed

for aluminium and PVC and low speed for metals other

than aluminium.

Turbo selector

◆ For fast and efficient straight cuts in wood, set the turbo

selector (4) to “max”.

◆ For accurate straight and curve cutting and a smooth

surface finish, set the turbo selector (4) to “min”.

Switching on and off

◆ To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).

◆ For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2) and

the on/off switch once more and release it.

How to use the SightLine‡ feature (fig. E)

◆ Use a pencil to mark the cutting line.

◆ Position the jigsaw over the line (17).

Viewing from directly above the jigsaw the line of cut can be

easily followed. Should this view be restricted for any reason,

the indent (18) can be used as an alternate cutting guide.

Hints for optimum use

Sawing laminates

As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may

occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.

◆ Use a fine-tooth saw blade.

◆ Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
