Jigsaw Hikoki CJ90VAST — 705W power, model CJ90VAST2WAZ

The Hikoki CJ90VAST jigsaw is a corded handheld cutting tool with a 705 W motor designed for controlled straight and curved cuts in wood and wood-based materials. The CJ90VAST2WAZ model features a reciprocating blade mechanism and variable-speed control for adapting cut speed to material and application. Its form and functions are intended for use in construction, carpentry and home renovation tasks where precision and versatility are required.

Advantages

The tool combines a mid-range 705 W power rating with variable-speed operation, allowing reliable cutting performance across a range of board thicknesses. The reciprocating blade movement provides consistent stroke action for smoother cutting lines, while the compact handheld design improves maneuverability for curved and plunge cuts. Built with standard blade mounting and adjustment features, the jigsaw integrates into common workshop workflows and supports quick blade changes for different materials and profiles.

Suitable for

• Cutting straight and curved lines in softwood, plywood and chipboard
• Interior carpentry tasks such as trimming and fitting fixtures
• DIY renovation projects including cabinetry and shelving
• Making plunge cuts and cut-outs for electrical or plumbing fittings

Key specifications

• Motor power: 705 W nominal output
• Drive: reciprocating blade stroke mechanism for jigsaw cutting
• Speed control: variable-speed adjustment to match material and application
• Cut type: straight, curved and plunge cuts in wood and similar materials
• Ergonomics: compact handheld form factor for improved maneuverability

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the intended cutting line clearly. Fit a suitable jigsaw blade for the material and application, ensuring it is mounted correctly and tightened. Set the variable-speed control to a lower setting for thin or delicate materials and increase speed for thicker boards. Guide the jigsaw steadily along the marked line, allowing the blade to cut without forcing the tool. For plunge cuts, start with the shoe flat on the surface, align the blade and engage power briefly to create an initial entry before continuing the cut. After finishing, turn off and unplug the tool before changing blades or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting blades for the material—fine-tooth blades for smooth finishes in plywood and laminates, and coarser blades for faster removal in softwood. Wear eye and hearing protection and secure workpieces with clamps. Maintain proper ventilation and avoid excessive feed force to prolong blade life and maintain straight cuts.
