How to use

Secure the workpiece and select an appropriate blade for the material and cut profile. Fit the blade according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensure the jigsaw is switched off before inserting the blade, and check blade fastening before operation. Adjust cutting speed and orbital settings (if available) to match the thickness and coating of the material. Guide the jigsaw steadily along the marked line, maintaining firm but controlled pressure and allowing the blade to do the cutting to avoid burning or chipping painted surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Use blades specifically rated for wood and painted surfaces for best results. For painted or coated panels, start with a slower speed and a fine-toothed blade to reduce edge chipping. Always wear appropriate eye, ear and dust protection and clamp the workpiece securely. For repeatable precision cuts, mark the cutting line clearly and make a shallow guide pass before cutting to full depth.
