How to use

To use the Makita A-85709 blade, ensure your jigsaw is disconnected from the power source. Open the blade locking mechanism on your tool, insert the bayonet shank of the blade until it clicks securely into place, and verify that it is properly aligned. Once installed, reconnect the power and begin your cut by applying light, steady pressure, allowing the blade to do the work without forcing it through the material. Always ensure the base plate of the jigsaw is resting firmly against the workpiece to maintain stability.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your jigsaw tool supports the bayonet shank connection type.
• Ensure the 4.5 cm working length is sufficient for the thickness of the material you intend to cut.
• Confirm that the material being cut is limited to wood or PVC plastic.

Usage recommendations

For the best results and to extend the life of your blades, always match the cutting speed of your jigsaw to the material density and avoid excessive lateral pressure during curved cuts.
