INSTALLING/CHANGING BLADES

1. Use only jigsaw blades with the

correcting T-shank.

2. This jigsaw comes with a convenient

tool-less quick release blade retainer.

To install a blade, use your thumb to

pull the lever counter-clockwise to

open the blade retainer (A).

3. With the blade teeth facing forward,

insert the blade (B) into the blade

retainer as far as it will go. Make sure

that the back edge of the blade sits

against the blade support roller (C).

Move the spring-loaded lever (A) to

insert the blade, then pull on the blade until the blade retainer snaps shut and

secures the blade.

• Take care never to use cracked, blunt or damaged blades.

OPERATION

TURNING ON AND OFF

1. To start the jigsaw, squeeze the

trigger (B). Wait until the blade is

running at speed before attempting

to cut the workpiece.

CONTINUOUS OPERATION

1. Maintain the saw at constant speed

by pressing in the lock-on button (A).

• You can then release your finger

pressure on the trigger (B).

2. To stop the jigsaw if the lock-on

button is used, squeeze the trigger fully in, then release it and the motor will stop.

CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG INTO THE MAINS UNLESS YOU HAVE ENSURED

THE JIGSAW IS SWITCHED OFF. TO DO THIS, SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER

FULLY UPWARDS, THEN RELEASE IT. THE TRIGGER IS LOCATED UNDER

THE GRIP.
