User manual AEG SPE 80 A

[. . . ] Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of the tool is 82 dB (A). This jig saw can cut wood, plastic and metal; it can cut straight lines, bevels, curves, and internal cut-outs. Connect only to a single-phase AC current supply and only to the mains voltage specified on the rating plate. When fitting the plug, make sure that the brown (live) wire of this appliance is connected to the plug terminal marked L or coloured red, and the blue (neutral) wire of this appliance is connected to the plug terminal marked N or coloured black. [. . . ] Revolutions by means of the hexagonal allen key (fitted into the base plate). Fit the saw blade into the groove of the support roller And push it firmly into the plunger as far as it will go; the lug of the saw blade must contact the end of the plunger (see illustration). Check that the saw blade is sitting firmly (wear Adjusting the base plate The base plate can be tilted or moved backward or forward. Loosen the fixing screw, pull the base plate out of the mounting, set it at the required angle (15o, 30o, 45o), push it back into the mounting and tighten the fixing screw again. Angles other than 45o can be set by not pushing the base plate back into the mounting. Loosen the fixing screw, push the base plate to the rear and tighten the fixing screw again. Moving back For cutting a hole with a short saw blade and sawing near the edge. Take the fixing screw out, push the base plate to the rear and screw the fixing screw tightly into the rear hole. In this position the base plate can also be off-set in longitudinal direction. Continuous use Switching on: Press the On-/off switch and then the locking button, after that release on-off switch. The stroke rate appropriate to the material being worked on can be taken from the following table, and the corresponding letter shown on the setting wheel. By adjusting the pendulum action the cutting depth of the saw blade teeth is increased or decreased. As a rule of thumb: Soft material Hard material Clean cut surface Large pendulum stroke Small or no pendulum stroke No pendulum stroke The appropriate degree of pendulum effect can be taken from the following chart and compared with the marking at the pendulum stroke lever. The stroke rate shown in the chart is only a suggestion for your general guidance!The stroke rate can be set on the stroke rate control even while the motor is running. Push in and turn the suction hose into the Push the transparent cover downwards to The stroke-rate (= movements per minute of the saw blade) can be infinitely varied by means of the adjustment wheel. The letters A to G are printed on the speed control, meaning: A = lowest stroke rate G = highest stroke rate Position the machine with the front part of the base plate on the material, and Press the machine downwards onto the material and guide it along the cutting line. Light pressure on the saw blade is sufficient to achieve the optimum rate of sawing. When cutting along a score line, use the marking on the anti-splintering device as an optical guide. To obtain a perfectly straight cut, clamp a strip of wood as a guide along the material or use the parallel guide (accessory). [. . . ] Push the parallel guide, with the contact surface facing upwards, through the lugs in the base plate and fasten it in position with the capstand­headed screw. Ensure that the saw blade and the circle centre point form one single line. When working on delicate surfaces please use the plastic protection shoe. Fit the plastic protection shoe to the front of the base plate (as illustrated) and fix the lugs with the back of the base plate. [. . . ]
