[. . . ] Machines with double insulation always carry the international symbol. Initial operation Before the first operation check that the mains voltage corresponds to that given on the machine nameplate. Motor At the heart of the jigsaw is a powerful universal motor with welded collector which can cope with extended use of the tool. Since it is very important for the motor to be constantly well-ventilated, it is of particular importance to pay special attention to the maintenance and servicing instructions for removing dust and dirt. [. . . ] Plunge cuts can be made into the material (only when working wood), but should only be attempted by skilled people. The switched-on jigsaw is placed on the work piece at an angle of 55­60° to the front edge of the base plate and pushed down slowly and carefully. Particular care is required at the start of this work; kick-backs and jerks will result if the jigsaw is placed the wrong way, whilst excessively fast plunge cuts may result in broken blades. adjustments are made by loosening the clamping wheel (6) beneath the handle. As soon as the toothed wheel work of the saw bench mounting is released, the base plate (4) can be turned to positions 22. 5° or 45° and be tightened again with the clamping wheel (6). Full-wave control electronics The stroke number range can be varied infinitely between 700 and a maximum of 3600/min. And be adjusted to suit the requirements of the material being worked (full rating for every stroke number). Adjustments are made using the setting dial (2) at the front of the handle. Recommended stroke numbers Low stroke number when sawing glass, ceramics, metal. The optimal speed setting is to be determined in tests at the beginning of the sawing job, as several factors such as material, thickness of material, condition of the saw blade, may influence the results of the job. Pendulum stroke setting The change-over from setting 0 to II is effected by means of the pendulum-stroke adjusting knob (turning knob). II for hardwood, soft wood, chipboard It should be noted that the values given are standard values which may vary according to thickness and hardness of material, grain direction, and also to the condition of the saw blade. Parallel fence (optional accessory) For perfect results with parallel cuts, use the graduated parallel fence (11). Once the clamping wheel (6) is loosened, the parallel fence (11) is inserted from the side into the slot in the base plate (4), set according to scale, and fixed with the clamping wheel (6). Chip-flyoff guard The synthetic part is placed into the saw opening of the base plate from below (snap fastening). The wood fibre structure is thereby pressed during sawing against this chip-flyoff guard, thus preventing the wood fibres from being damaged. This application can only be used when cutting at a right angle (90°). dust extractor The jigsaw is equipped to be connected to a commerically available vacuum cleaner. In order to keep the cut free of shavings, the flexible suction tube is inserted from the back into the housing opening. [. . . ] We are therefore able to guarantee free servicing of any production or material faults which arise in the 24 months after the date of sale to the purchaser. We reserve the right to repair defective parts or else replace them with new parts. The guarantee will be rendered void if the device is used improperly, mistreated or opened up by unauthorised repair personnel. The guarantee may only be enforced when defects are reported without undue delay (including shipping damage). [. . . ]
