This document provides essential instructions for the FLEX JSP 12-EC cordless jigsaw. It covers setup, operation, and maintenance. Always remove the battery before performing any adjustments or maintenance on the tool.
Device Description
The jigsaw features an LED worklight, blade holder, guide roller, base, orbital control lever, on/off switch, speed adjusting dial, and dust extraction tube. It is designed for cutting wood, plastic, and metal.
Operation
Battery: Insert the charged battery until it clicks. Press the release button to remove it. Protect battery contacts when not in use to prevent short circuits.
Blade Installation: Ensure the blade clamp lever is in the released position. Insert a T-shank blade into the holder until it locks. Verify the back edge fits into the guide roller.
Settings: The bevel angle can be adjusted from 0° to 45° (left or right) using the hex key. The speed adjusting dial (1-5) and orbital action lever (0-3) allow for optimal cutting performance based on the material.
Cutting Tips
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask. Ensure the blade reaches full speed before touching the workpiece. For metal cutting, use appropriate blades and lower speeds; never use wood-cutting blades for metal.
Maintenance
Regularly clean the tool and vent slots. Blow out the housing and motor with dry compressed air. For spare parts and exploded drawings, visit www.flex-tools.com.
