Tool description

A jigsaw is a saw which uses a reciprocating blade to cut

irregular curves, such as stenciled designs, in wood, metal, or

other materials.

General tool Safety

PPE

• Always wear eye protection.

• Wear a dust mask where appropriate

• Wear hearing protection

• DO NOT wear gloves

Personal Safety

• Do not wear loose clothing.

• Remove Jewellery.

• Keep hair tied up.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Consider those around you, inform them before starting the equipment so they can use relevant

PPE, ensure there are no trip hazards and reassess the area once all cables and extraction hoses

are connected.

Do not use a power tool while tired or rushed. A moment of inattention and incorrect use of PPE

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury and or death.

Dust extraction, ensure this is connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce

dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

Do not force the power tool.

Correct settings will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be brought to the attention of a technician

before further use.

Disconnect the plug from the power source (remove battery) before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. This will reduce the risk of starting the tool

accidentally.

Visual bade inspection. With the saw unplugged, inspect the blade. Always check the saw blade

to make sure it does not have missing teeth or is bent. Do not use a damaged saw blade. bring

this to the attention of a technician before continuing. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check material condition before cutting. Remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws

from the material to prevent damaging the tool and its cutting blade. Do not use green or wet wood

as the water and sap content can damage the tool and its cutters.

Specic Safety Rules for Reciprocating Saws

Keep hands away from the blade and cutting area.

Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The blade is fully exposed under the workpiece.

Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work

properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

Check that there is enough space under the workpiece for the reciprocating saw blade. If the saw

blade strikes another object, it may cause a kickback.

Never cut material that is thicker than the length of the saw blade.

Do not touch the saw blade after prolonged cutting. The saw blade may be hot and cause burns.

Changing the saw blade

The Jigsaw features tool-free blade changing. Used blades

can be ejected from the saw without touching the potentially

hot blade. New blades are inserted into the holder with just a

simple twist.

WARNING! Always disconnect the saw from the power supply

(power cord or battery) before making any adjustments to the

saw or installing or removing the blade.

CAUTION! After prolonged use, the used sawblade may be

hot. Take care not to touch the sawblade until it has cooled.

1. Unplug the saw or remove the battery. This procedure may

require you to touch the blade with your ngers, so make sure

the saw cannot start unexpectedly.

2. If the splinter guard is installed, remove it as described

further down in this induction.

3. Slide the blade release lever forward until the blade is ejected from the spring loaded holder.

4. Place the new blade into the diagonal slot on the blade holder, press it fully in, and rotate the

blade until it locks into place with the teeth facing forward. If the blade does not rotate easily, it is

not pressed in far enough. The small tabs on the side of the blade must be inside the blade holder.

5. Adjust the blade guide as described below.

Adjusting the Blade Guide

The Jigsaw features a lower blade guide to ensure that the

blade stays straight and true in the cut.

WARNING! Always disconnect the saw from the power

supply (power cord or battery) before making any

adjustments to the saw or installing or removing the blade.

1. Unplug the saw or remove the battery. This procedure

may require you to touch the blade with your ngers, so

make sure the saw cannot start unexpectedly.

2. Install a blade in the saw as described above.

3. Remove the Main Base as described on further down.

4. Using the provided 2.5 mm hex key, loosen the adjustment screw enough to ensure the blade ts

loosely between the jaws of the blade guide.

Festool JigsawPage 5

5. Carefully push back on the blade to ensure it is tting between the parallel faces of the blade

guide jaws.

6. While wiggling the blade back and forth, tighten the adjustment screw until the jaws are almost

touching the blade.

Take care not to over-tighten the adjustment screw. If the jaws are too tight to the blade, you

will have excessive wear on the jaws, and it may even prevent proper pendulum action.

If the jaws are too loose, the blade won’t be well guided in the cut.

For optimal adjustment, you should be able to wiggle the blade side-to-side just a little bit.

Changing Base Inserts

Standard Insert: This is a general purpose insert that is supplied with the saw, and may be used in

all applications.

Felt Insert: The felt insert provides a soft felt surface to the base of the jigsaw for mar-free cutting

on nished materials. The bottom of the felt insert has a tight hook- &-loop surface that holds the

replaceable/disposable felt pads in place.

Phenolic Insert: This insert provides a smooth, hard, and low-friction base for abrasive

environments that could scratch softer inserts.

Dimpled Insert: This insert is designed to provide smooth operation on rough surfaces, such as

rough-sawn lumber. The dimples (rounded studs) glide over and between the rough features of the

workpiece surface.

Stainless Steel Insert: This insert is ideal for working on steel, aluminum, and other very hard

materials that would scratch even the phenolic insert.

Festool JigsawPage 6

1. Remove the dust collection port as described below. The

release tab on the base insert cannot be pressed in

when the dust collection port is in place.

2. Either remove the main base from the saw, or remove the

sawblade.

3. Press down on the back of the release tab and slide the

base insert forward about 1/2 inch.

4. Lift the base insert off the main base to remove it.

Installing/Removing the Dust Collection Port

The dust port is used to connect a dust extractor to the jigsaw.

It may be used with the standard base or the guide rail base.

However, the dust port cannot be used with the angled base.

To remove the dust port from the base, press down on the

release tab and slide the port out from the base.

To install the dust port, slide it into the base until the release tab

clicks into place.

Changing the Main Base

Three bases are available for the Jigsaw. The bases can be installed and removed without tools.

Standard Base:

The standard base is used to mount any of the optional base inserts. The standard base can be

used with the dust collection.

Guide Rail Base: Also called the adapter base, is used to guide the saw using either a Festool

guide rail, or the Festool trammel (for cutting circles). The guide rail base can be used with dust

collection.

Angle Base: The angle base is used for making bevel cuts with the jigsaw. The two pads can be

angled from +45° to -45°. The Angle base cannot be used with dust collection.

Festool JigsawPage 7

1. Unplug the saw or remove the battery to prevent accidental

startup.

2. Rotate the base release lever outward until the clamp is clear

of the main base.

3. Lift the main base off the bottom of the saw.

NOTE: Make sure the guide rail base is installed parallel with the

blade by wiggling it side to side before

closing the release lever. If it is installed with a slight skew to the saw blade, it may cause the saw

to drift off the cutting line when using the saw with a guide rail or trammel.

WARNING! Always disconnect the saw from the power supply (power cord or battery) before

making any adjustments to the saw or installing or removing the blade.

Installing/Removing the Battery

To install the battery, slide it into the receptacle on the rear of the saw until

it clicks into place. To remove the battery, press in on both left and right

release buttons, and slide the battery out of the receptacle.

Setting the Pendulum Stroke

A pendulum jigsaw moves the blade in an orbital motion. On the downstroke, the blade is guided

away from the cut, and on the upstroke, the blade is guided toward the cut.

The Jigsaw has 4 settings for the pendulum stroke, ranging from a wide orbit to no orbit

(straight up and down). Because a jigsaw cuts only on the upstroke, this orbital type of motion is

more efcient.

The orbital motion allows the saw to cut more aggressively and improves

the life of the blade. However, the larger the orbit and more aggressive the

cut, the rougher the cut may be.

To change the pendulum stroke, rotate the lever to settings 0 (off) through

3 (maximum orbit). The lever/setting may be changed regardless whether the

saw is running or not.

Use a larger orbit (higher number) for aggressive

cutting in softer materials. Use a smaller orbit, or no

orbit, for harder materials such as harder woods or

when smoother cuts are desired. Also, when cutting

thinner materials, a lower orbit setting may produce

better results. The pendulum stroke should be set to

zero when using a tungsten carbide blade.

Festool JigsawPage 8

Installing the Splinter Guard

The clear plastic splinter guard serves as a zero-clearance throat along the blade to reduce

splintering of the topside of the workpiece. The splinter guard is a consumable component that is

replaced when it wears or when blades of different thicknesses are used.

1. Unplug the saw or remove the

battery to prevent accidental starting.

2. Rotate the pendulum stroke lever to

the zero position as shown above.

3. Slide the plastic splinter guard onto

the ribs on the main base, but not far

enough to touch the blade.

4. Turn the saw on, and press the front of the splinter guard against a table to allow the sawblade

to cut into the splinter guard as it slides the rest of the way on the base.

5. For added life, as the splinter guard wears, you can push it farther back into the base until the

gap is gone.

Setting the Variable Speed

To set the speed of the saw, rotate the speed dial to the desired setting. The speed may be

adjusted while the saw is running.

The more you press in on the variable trigger, the faster the saw will operate, until it reaches the

speed setting of the speed dial.

The optimal speed of the saw is somewhat subjective, but is predominately determined by the type

of material being cut.

The actual speed that delivers the best results for a specic cut may depend on other factors, such

as blade type, workpiece

brittleness, desired smoothness of cut, etc. The table provides a general guideline for blade

speeds, but your actual speeds may vary (“A” indicates maximum speed).

Festool JigsawPage 9

Turning the saw On & Off

The saw has power switches on the left and right side of the main

housing.

The saw also has a variable speed trigger in the handle.

To use the power switches on the barrel, slide either switch forward

to start the saw, and then release the switch. The saw will continue

to run until you slide either of the switches forward again. Practice

your hand positioning on these switches with the saw off

before cutting for the rst time.

The speed of the saw will be determined by the speed control

dial described above.

It is not necessary to hold the switch forward while the saw is

running.

Either switch may be used to turn the saw on or off.

To use the variable speed trigger, press in on the trigger

release and pull up on the trigger.

The speed of the saw will be controlled by how much the trigger is pulled, but the speed control dial

determines the maximum available speed.

It is not necessary to continue to hold the trigger release button, but it is necessary to continue to

hold the variable trigger depressed for the saw to run.

The automatic speed control function is not available when the trigger is used.

Sawblade Selection

The shank of Festool sawblades are color coded according to their general usage intention. These

colors are listed below. The specialty blades are an exception in that each blade will have its own

special purpose and material type. These include carbide tipped blades, ceramic cutting blades,

and serrated foam blades.

• Using Dust Extraction

To use the dust extraction system, install the dust collection port seen above.

Festool JigsawPage 10

Dust extraction

Attach the hose of the extraction to the dust collection port securely.

Remember the extraction will need to be set to manual as the tool is powered by battery.

Keep the extraction hose over your shoulder so you don’t trip on it as you move with the saw.

Using the Jigsaw with a Guide Rail

When the optional guide rail base is installed on the

jigsaw, the saw may be used with a Festool guide rail

for performing straight cuts.

The distance from the rear edge of the guide rail to the

center of the blade is approximately (35mm).

1. Install the optional guide rail base

2. Position the guide rail parallel to the desired cut line,

and 1⅜” (35mm) away from the center of the cut. Note,

you will need to subtract ó the thickness of the blade

to set the distance to the edge of the cut instead of the

center of the cut.

3. Clamp the guide rail to the workpiece.

NOTE: The body of the jigsaw does not press down on the guide rail. To reduce the chance of

slipping, it is recommended to clamp the guide rail.

4. Place the jigsaw base over the rear T-slot of the guide rail and perform the cut as normal.

Using the Trammel to Cut Circles

The optional circle cutter (trammel) permits the jigsaw to cut circular holes in a workpiece from the

minimum and maximum sizes shown in the table.

1. Identify the location of the center of the arc or

circle you wish to cut.

2. Drill a 4mm (5/32”) hole at the center of the

arc or circle.

3. Loosen the clamping knob and extend the tape measure until the index pointers are pointing to

the desired radius. The radius is 1/2 the diameter of a circle.
