How to use

Select a blade appropriate for the material and insert it into the tool-less clamp, ensuring it is fully seated and locked. Set the variable speed according to material thickness and hardness, then secure the workpiece firmly. Start the jigsaw and allow it to reach operating speed before beginning the cut; guide the saw steadily along the marked line without forcing the blade to maintain accuracy and prolong blade life. Keep a stable two-handed grip and follow safe operating distances from the cutting edge.

Usage recommendations

Use blades designed for the target material and adjust speed for cleaner cuts. Wear eye and ear protection and clamp the workpiece securely. Regularly check and tighten the blade clamp and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance to ensure reliable performance.
