User manual KOMPERNASS PARKSIDE PPHSS 670 PENDULUM ACTION JIGSAW

[. . . ] Always wear ear protectors and safety glasses when using the jigsaw. In addition we recommend safety gloves, robust anti-slip footwear and an industrial apron. Before using the jigsaw, check the mains lead and plug for damage. Have any damaged parts repaired or replaced at a specialist repair centre. [. . . ] Setting the pendulum action increases or reduces the penetrating effect of the saw blade into the material. The following rules of thumb apply: Soft material = large pendulum action Hard material = small or no pendulum action Clean cut edge = no pendulum action Material Rubber Aluminium Steel Wood Plastic Ceramic Pendulum Setting 0 0-1 0 1-3 1 0 Note: the pendulum action setting on the pendulum action control º can be altered whilst the machine is operating. PLUNGING CUTS Plunging (interior cutting or plunge sawing) is only possible in softer materials such as for example wood or light-weight building materials. For harder materials you must insert the saw blade into a suitably sized hole in the material to be sawn. Set the base plate ² (see "Setting the base plate") into the rearmost position so that a good angle for plunging is achieved. Set the pendulum action on the pendulum control º to "0" 2. With the machine switched off, place it with the front edge of the base plate ² at the cutting position. Switch the machine on and plunge the oscillating saw carefully into the material. USE OF THE PARALLEL GUIDE The PPHSS 670 pendulum action jigsaw is equipped with a parallel guide µ. This allows you to make accurate parallel cuts using the mm scale. Release the quick set mechanism on the parallel guide. Put it into the required position and lock quick set mechanism again. Slide the parallel guide in from the appropriate side, the left or right accordingly. Make sure that the guide surface of the parallel guide points downwards. 6 VACUUM CHIP EXTRACTOR Caution!: Only use the equipment with a compatible vacuum chip extractor. The vacuum chip extraction nozzle » has a standard internal diameter of 35 mm. Connect a household vacuum cleaner or a wet and dry vacuum cleaner to the nozzle as follows: 1. Rotate the vacuum hose on to the extraction nozzle and test whether it is securely held in place. Slide the clear-view cover ´ downwards for optimum chip extraction. MAINTENANCE OF THE JIGSAW 1. Clean the jigsaw regularly (remove chips and bits of wood etc. ). For the best results do this straight after the work has been completed. Do not allow liquids to get inside the jigsaw. Use a soft cloth for cleaning the housing. Do not use petrol, solvents or cleaners that may attack the plastic. Air vents must always be clear and clean. ADVICE ON WORKING METHODS, TIPS AND TRICKS Here is some advice on adjustment of the clear-view cover ´ to give you optimum chip extraction: the chip blower blows the chips away from the cut. [. . . ] The PPHSS 670 pendulum action jigsaw is equipped with INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL This automatic power control ensures that within a certain oscillation range the output from the jigsaw remains constant even when cutting harder and more resistant materials. Further practical tips for power tools can be found in the accompanying booklet on safety advice. We reserve the right to make technical modifications in the course of further development. 7 WARRANTY This piece of equipment is covered by a 36-month warranty as of the date of purchase.
