2. Istruzzjonijiet tas-Sigurtà

Always adhere to the following safety guidelines to minimize the risk of electric shock, fire, and serious injury.

• Sigurtà taż-Żona tax-Xogħol: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Sigurtà Elettrika: Il-plakek tal-għodod tal-enerġija għandhom jaqblu mas-sokit. Qatt timmodifika l-plakek bl-ebda mod. Tużax plakek adapter ma' għodod tal-enerġija ertjati (ertjati). Plakek mhux modifikati u sokits li jaqblu jnaqqsu r-riskju ta' xokk elettriku. Evita kuntatt mal-ġisem tiegħek ma' uċuħ ertjati jew ertjati, bħal pajpijiet, radjaturi, fuklar u refriġeraturi. Hemm riskju akbar ta' xokk elettriku jekk ġismek ikun ertjat jew ertjat. Tesponix għodod tal-enerġija għax-xita jew għal kundizzjonijiet imxarrbin. L-ilma li jidħol f'għodda tal-enerġija jżid ir-riskju ta' xokk elettriku. Tabbużax il-korda. Qatt tuża l-korda biex iġġorr, tiġbed jew skonnettja l-għodda tal-enerġija. Żomm il-korda 'l bogħod mis-sħana, żejt, truf li jaqtgħu jew partijiet li jiċċaqalqu. Kordi bil-ħsara jew imħabbla jżidu r-riskju ta' xokk elettriku.
• Sigurtà Personali: Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool.
• Użu u Kura tal-Għodda tal-Enerġija: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 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 repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Servizz: Ħalli l-għodda tal-enerġija tiegħek isservisjata minn persuna ta' tiswija kwalifikata li tuża biss partijiet ta' sostituzzjoni identiċi. Dan jiżgura li tinżamm is-sigurtà tal-għodda tal-enerġija.

• Mark Cut Line: Clearly mark your desired cutting line on the workpiece.

5.2. Aġġustament tal-Azzjoni Orbitali

The CT15189 features a 4-position orbital action. Adjust this setting based on the material and desired cut quality:

• Pożizzjoni 0 (L-ebda Azzjoni Orbitali): For fine, precise cuts in wood, metal, and plastics. Slower cutting, but cleaner edges.
• Pożizzjonijiet 1-3 (ŻiedaasinAzzjoni Orbitali g): For faster, more aggressive cuts in wood and softer materials. Higher numbers provide more aggressive action, suitable for rough cuts.

5.3. Veloċità ta 'aġġustament

The jig saw has 6 different levels of preselected timing function for cutting different materials. Use the speed control dial to set the appropriate strokes per minute (700-3000/min):

2. Ibda l-Għodda: Turn on the jig saw and allow it to reach full speed before engaging the blade with the material.
3. Ibda l-Qtugħ: Gently guide the blade into the material along your marked line. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the tool; let the blade do the work.
4. Żomm Kuntatt: Keep the base plate flat against the workpiece throughout the cut to ensure stability and accuracy.
5. Qatgħa Finitura: Once the cut is complete, turn off the tool and wait for the blade to stop completely before lifting the jig saw from the workpiece.

5.5. Plunge Cuts (Internal Cuts)

For internal cuts without a pilot hole, tilt the jig saw forward so the front edge of the base plate rests on the workpiece and the blade is above the surface. Start the tool, then slowly pivot the tool downwards until the blade plunges through the material. Once through, flatten the base plate and proceed with the cut.

6. Manutenzjoni

Manutenzjoni regolari tiżgura l-lonġevità u l-prestazzjoni ottimali tas-serrieq tal-jig tiegħek.
