How to use

To use the Makita A-85662 blades, ensure your jigsaw is disconnected from the power source. Open the blade locking mechanism on your jigsaw, insert the bayonet shank of the blade until it clicks into place, and verify that it is securely fastened. Once installed, reconnect the power and ensure the base plate of the jigsaw is flush against the material before starting the cut. Always allow the tool to reach full speed before engaging the blade with the workpiece.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your jigsaw supports the bayonet shank mounting system.
• Ensure the 5 cm working length is sufficient for the thickness of your material.
• Confirm the material being cut is compatible with high carbon steel blades.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results and to extend the lifespan of your blades, always use the appropriate speed setting on your jigsaw and avoid applying excessive lateral pressure during the cut. Regularly clear sawdust from the cutting line to maintain visibility and precision.
