14 4.8 AMP JIG SAW
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Pendulum lever
The pendulum lever has four positions.
The first position selects normal cutting
without pendulum action. The positions
(1, 2 and3) cause the blade to swing
slightly backwards and forwards as it
cuts. This pendulum action increases the
efficiency of cutting, set the pendulum
lever to one of the three settings (1, 2
or 3) according to degree of pendulum
action required.
Experiment on a piece of scrap material
to determine the optimum pendulum
action setting for the material of the work
piece.
Recommendations (non-committal)
- No pendulum action for: cutting sheet metal, plastic sheets; very fine cutting edges
- Low pendulum action for: cutting hard wood, plastics; fine cutting edges on wood
- Max. pendulum action for: cutting wood; if no fine cutting edges required
8. General cutting
WARNING: Before cutting, secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform by
using clamps or another practical way.
Ensure that the blade is the correct type for the application and that the length extends
through the workpiece on the upstroke of the cut.
a) Determine how the jigsaw is best configured for the job and make the required
adjustment.
b) Switch on the jig saw and allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
c) Slowly guide the jig saw forward, building up speed as you go, keeping the shoe
plate at against the workpiece.
NOTE: Do not force the jig saw. Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting. Do
not force the cutting; allow the blade and the saw to do the work.
