Key specifications

• Weight: approximately 140 g
• Tool type: jab/plunge saw for sheet materials

How to use

Mark the cutting outline on the material surface, position the tip of the jab saw at the start point and apply steady pressure to pierce the drywall. Use short, controlled strokes to enlarge the initial hole, then continue with longer sawing motions following the marked line. Maintain a firm but comfortable grip to guide the blade accurately and reduce vibration. For cutting near edges or openings, support the material to avoid unintended breakage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and a dust mask when cutting drywall. Inspect the cutting path for hidden cables or pipes before starting. Replace the blade if it becomes dull or bent to maintain cutting quality and reduce the risk of slip-related damage.
