Power Jigsaw Black & Decker KS701E 520W 3000spm Cutting Depth 7cm

The Black & Decker KS701E power jigsaw combines a 520W motor with a no-load stroke rate of up to 3000 spm to deliver precise and efficient cutting for a wide range of DIY and light professional tasks. This jigsaw provides a maximum bevel capacity of 45° and achieves cutting depths of up to 70 mm in wood and 15 mm in aluminium. Designed with user visibility and comfort in mind, the tool incorporates a clear guard and wire protector to improve sight of the cutting line while maintaining safety.

Advantages

The KS701E offers variable speed control to match cutting speed to material and task, and a tool-free blade change system for fast blade swaps. An improved ID and wire guard enhances line-of-sight to the blade, and integrated dust extraction helps maintain a cleaner work area. Ergonomic design and low vibration reduce user fatigue, while positive bevel detents at 0° and 45° ensure accurate angled cuts. A lock-on switch supports prolonged cutting without constant trigger pressure.

Suitable for

• Cutting sheet and dimensional wood for shelving, trim and furniture projects
• Making angled or bevel cuts in wood and composite panels
• Cutting thin aluminium profiles and non-ferrous metal sheet up to indicated depth
• Detail and plunge cuts where line-of-sight and control are important
• DIY renovation and repair tasks that require variable speed and dust management

How to use

Before use, select an appropriate blade for the target material and ensure the tool is unplugged while changing blades with the tool-free mechanism. Set the bevel angle if an angled cut is required and secure the workpiece. Adjust the variable speed to suit the material—lower speeds for metals and higher speeds for softer woods—then connect a dust extractor if needed. Start the jigsaw and allow it to reach the set speed before engaging the cut; guide the tool steadily along the marked line using the improved guard for clear sight of the blade. Use the lock-on switch for long straight cuts to reduce finger strain, and release the switch and wait for the blade to stop before removing the tool from the cut or changing settings.

Usage recommendations

Use blades rated for the material and cut depth, wear appropriate eye and hearing protection, and ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped. Regularly clear dust and debris from the guard and dust port to maintain visibility and extraction performance. For angled work, confirm bevel detents are engaged at 0° or 45° for consistent results.
