How to use

Choose a blade appropriate for the material and insert it into the blade clamp according to the tool-free change instructions. Secure the workpiece and mark the cutting line. Adjust the base plate to the required angle if you need a bevel cut, then set the jigsaw on the workpiece with the shoe flat against the surface. Start the tool at low speed to establish the cut, then increase the speed as needed while maintaining steady forward movement. Release the trigger and allow the blade to stop fully before lifting the tool away. Regularly check blade condition and replace blades that show wear or damage.

Recommendations

Use appropriate blades for each material and wear eye and hearing protection during operation. Clamp the workpiece securely and keep hands clear of the blade path. For improved cut quality in delicate materials, consider using a fine-tooth blade and a steady feed rate. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidance to ensure safe and reliable operation.
