Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These

and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or
accessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF

How to Use the Sightline® Feature (
Use a pencil to mark the cutting line.
Position the jig saw over the line (1
Viewing from directly above the jig saw

Cutting mode (KS701PE only)
Pendulum stroke or action provides a more aggressive blade
motion and is designed for cutting soft materials such as wood
or plastic. It provides a faster cut, but with a less smooth cut
across the material. Y
Use of this dial is explained in the next section.
Note: Never use pendulum action to cut metal.
Pendulum Stroke dial (
The KS701PE has these four cutting modes with increasing
amounts of pendulum action:
Position 0 : metal and aluminium and sheet metal (no
pendulum action).
Position 1 : for laminates, hard wood, work tops.
Position 2 : for plywood and PVC/Plastics.
Position 3 : for soft wood and fast cutting
T
Rotate the Pendulum Stroke selector (6) to the required
position.
Sawing
Hold the tool rmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe plate (4) should be held rmly against the material
being cut. This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce
vibration and minimise blade breakage.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate is
sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade that
cuts on the downward stroke or:
Use a
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.

Sawing metal
Warning! Do not use a vacuum when cutting metal. Metal
lings will be hot and may cause
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.

Rip Fence (KS701E and KS701PE only)
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done
with a rip fence and circle guide (available as an optional extra
- part number X43005-XJ).
Attaching Rip Fence ( gs. F & G)
Insert rip fence (14) into the shoe plate slots with the cross
bar facing down as shown in gure F
Place screw (15) into hole in bottom of shoe plate.
Align clamp bar (16) over screw with lipped edge facing
down and pointing towards the rear of the saw
Using a phillips screwdriver
threaded hole in the bar clamp as shown in gure G.
Adjust to width of cut and tighten screw
Circle Cutting ( g. H - KS701E and KS701PE only)
Insert rip fence into slot on the right side of shoe plate
with cross bar facing up.
Adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole
in cross bar is the desired radius and tighten screw
Place saw so that centre of hole in cross bar is over
centre of circle to be cut (make plunge cut, drill hole for
blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade
into position).
When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail
through hole in cross bar into exact centre of circle
to be cut.
Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.
