Power Jigsaw Black & Decker KS801SEK 550W Orange Black 45° Bevel

The Black & Decker KS801SEK 550W jigsaw provides a balance of power and control for straight and angled cuts in wood and aluminium. Its 550W motor and 1.9 cm stroke length deliver up to 3000 strokes per minute for efficient material removal, while a maximum bevel capacity of 45° and positive detents at 0°, 22.5° and 45° allow accurate angled cutting. Built-in features such as tool-free blade change, low vibration design and a dust extraction facility contribute to cleaner working conditions and faster job completion. The package includes a wood cutting blade, splinter guard and a kit box for storage and transport.

Advantages

AutoSELECT® simplifies setup by matching the tool setting to the project for consistent results. Variable speed and pendulum action give control over finish and cutting speed. Tool-free blade change and a lock-on switch increase convenience during extended use. The anti-splinter guard and low vibration design help to produce smooth edges and reduce user fatigue. Dust extraction compatibility keeps the work area cleaner for better visibility and reduced cleanup time.

Suitable for

• Straight and curved cuts in soft and hardwoods
• Cutting aluminium sheets and profiles
• Bevel cuts up to 45° for trim and joinery
• Fast rough cutting using pendulum action
• Workshop work where dust extraction and low vibration are required

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the cut line clearly. Fit the appropriate blade for the material by using the tool-free blade change mechanism, then set the bevel angle using the positive detents if an angled cut is required. Adjust the variable speed to match material density and desired finish; lower speeds for cleaner finishes, higher speeds for faster cutting. Use pendulum action for rapid material removal when precision finish is not critical. Connect a compatible dust extractor to the dust port to reduce debris and improve visibility. Engage the lock-on switch for long continuous cuts, and always wear appropriate eye, ear and respiratory protection.

Usage recommendations

For the best balance between speed and finish, start with a moderate speed setting and test cuts on scrap material. Use the anti-splinter guard and a fine-toothed blade when cutting laminates or veneered board to minimise breakout. Regularly clear the dust port and inspect the blade for wear to maintain cutting performance.
