from exposure to vibrations, such as maintenance of the electric tool and
work tools, assurance of proper hand temperature, or determination of
the sequence of work operations.
The declared total vibrations and declared noise emissions were
measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used
for tool comparison.
The declared total vibrations and noise emissions can be used in
preliminary exposure assessment.
Warnings:
The vibrations and noise emissions during the actual use of the power
tool may differ from the declared values depending on how the tool is
used and on the type of the workpiece in particular.
Determine safeguards to protect the operator. They should be based on
the estimated exposure under actual operational conditions (taking into
account all parts of the operating cycle such as when the tool is switched
off or idle except the start time).
PREPARATION FOR WORK:
1. Prior to each use of the tool one has to check whether moving parts of
the device are in operating conditions, not seized, cracked or
damaged that may affect proper operation of the tool. Damaged
tools must be handed over for repairs before they can be used again.
2. When cutting wood that has already been used, be careful of foreign
objects such as nails, screws, etc.
n Charging the battery
NOTE! Battery and charger are not part of the delivery. Depending on your
needs, you can purchase a 2.0 Ah battery VJ2AK or 4.0Ah VJ4AK and a
compatible charger VJ1LD (charging time 1-2 hours).
You can check the battery level with the battery level indicator button
(13). A single LED means the battery level is low, two LEDs mean medium
level, and three LEDs mean full battery. Charge the battery fully before
use.
Charger VJ1LD
The first charging procedure using VJ1LD should last at least 1 hour
(2.0Ah VJ2AK battery), or 2 hours (4.0Ah VJ4AK battery).
1. Press the battery lock button (7) and remove the battery (6) from the
jigsaw (see Fig. A).
2. (6) (12).Connect the battery to the charger
3. Connect the charger plug to a mains socket (220–240 V, 50 Hz).
n Battery charging indicator
A green LED light indicates that the charger is connected to a power
source. After the battery is connected, the red LED is on to indicate
charging.
When the battery is fully charged, the red LED goes off and the green LED
is on.
After charging, disconnect the charger and remove the battery.
NOTE! The battery may get slightly hot when charging. This is not a
malfunction.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any moment, without
detriment to its life. Interrupting the charging process does not entail a
risk of damaging the battery cells.
n Blade installation (see Fig. B)
All commercially available blades with T-shanks (type A according to the
Profix catalogue) can be used with the jigsaw. Blades offered by
manufacturers are most often available as sets and, depending on the
purpose, may differ in the size and type of cutting teeth. The
manufacturer usually provides information regarding the purpose of
individual blades on the packaging of a set of blades or in the attached
leaflet. The blades themselves can also be colour-coded, with different
colours for different materials to be cut.
CAUTION! Before installing the blade and performing any
maintenance work, disconnect the battery from the device.
Wear protective gloves when installing the blade. There is a
risk of injury when touching the blade.
A special mount (15) ensures quick blade installation.
ź Pull the mount wheel (15) in the direction of the arrow (Fig. B), so
that the mounting groove is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the
jigsaw.
ź Insert the selected blade (11) with the teeth directed outwards, into
the groove of the mount (15), until resistance can be felt. Release the
mount wheel, which will automatically lock the blade.
CAUTION!
Check whether the blade is well seated. A loose blade can fall
out and hurt the user.
ź In order to release the blade, pull the mount wheel (15) in the
direction of the arrow and remove the blade.
NOTE: Do not touch a blade that has just been used, as it can be hot and
cause injury. Use protective gloves.
OPERATION:
n Turning on/off
To turn on the power tool, first press the safety button (3) on the left or
right side of the handle (5) and then press the switch (4).
The switch (4) offers smooth speed control. This makes it possible to
choose the cutting speed, which depends on the type of material, the
work conditions and can be optimally selected by practical tests.
The speed will increase in line with the depth of depression of the switch.
To turn off the jigsaw, release the switch (4).
n Adjusting the pendulum action
On the left side of the housing there is a switch for adjusting the auxiliary
pendulum action (10) of the jigsaw head (undercut function). This
option makes it possible to optimise the work process when working
with a specific material.
The pendulum action can be set using a switch (10) in four steps. It can be
switched with the device running:
Step 0 - Oscillation off
Step 1 - Little oscillation
Step 2 - Medium oscillation
Step 3 - Strong oscillation
The following is recommended:
ź The smoother the cut edge should be the lower the level of oscillation,
or possibly no oscillation, should be chosen.
ź When working on thin materials, such as sheet metal, switch off the
pendulum action completely.
ź In hard materials, such as steel, work with limited pendulum action.
ź In soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the fibres, work
with the maximum swinging action.
ź When using a knife-type blade, it is recommended that the pendulum
action be switched off.
Optimal work parameters can only be selected through practical tests.
