How to use

To use the Makita A-85656 blades, ensure your jigsaw is disconnected from the power source or that the battery is removed. 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 begin your cut by placing the base plate of the jigsaw firmly against the workpiece. Apply steady, forward pressure, allowing the blade to do the work without forcing it through the material.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your jigsaw tool is compatible with a bayonet shank blade system.
• Ensure the 70 mm 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: Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating a jigsaw. For the best results, start the cut at a moderate speed and adjust according to the material density to prevent overheating the blade.
