FAQs

What type of batteries is this jigsaw compatible with?

This jigsaw is compatible with the JCB 18V lithium-ion battery range. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.

Does this product come with a battery and charger?

No, this product is sold as 'Body Only' and does not include a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately.

What is the maximum cutting depth for this jigsaw?

The maximum cutting depth is 135mm in wood and 10mm in metal.

How do I change the cutting speed?

The jigsaw features a 6-speed variable control dial, typically located near the trigger, allowing you to adjust the strokes per minute from 500 to 3,800.

What is the benefit of the 4-stage pendulum action?

The 4-stage pendulum action (orbital action) increases the aggressiveness of the cut, allowing for faster cutting speeds in wood and other materials. It can be adjusted to a '0' setting for smoother, more controlled cuts in delicate materials or when precision is paramount.

How is the blade changed?

The JCB Pro 18V Jigsaw features a tool-free blade change system. Simply open the blade clamp, insert the blade, and release the clamp to secure it.

What is the warranty period for this jigsaw?

The JCB Professional 18V Jigsaw comes with a 3-year warranty on the tool itself, subject to terms and conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jigsaw will not power on.

Ensure the 18V battery is properly inserted and charged. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Try a different, known-working battery.

Blade is not cutting straight or is binding.

Verify the correct blade type is used for the material. Ensure the blade is correctly installed and not bent or damaged. Check that the pendulum action is set appropriately for the material. Ensure the workpiece is adequately supported.

Excessive vibration during use.

Check that the blade is securely fastened. Ensure the pendulum action is set correctly for the material; high settings can increase vibration. Make sure the tool is not being forced through the material.

LED light or dust blower not functioning.

Check battery connection. Ensure there is no obstruction in the dust blower port. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
