Troubleshooting
Jigsaw won't turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery is locked in place. Try a different compatible battery.
Blade gets stuck during cut
Reduce cutting speed and pressure. Ensure you are using the correct blade for the material and that the pendulum action is set appropriately. Clear any debris from the cut line.
Poor cut quality (rough or splintered edges)
Use a finer-toothed blade. Ensure the anti-splinter guard is attached. Adjust the speed setting for the material. Ensure the blade is sharp and not bent.
Tool overheating
Reduce the cutting speed and pressure. Ensure the tool's ventilation slots are clear of dust. Allow the tool to cool down between extended use periods.
SDS blade holder not releasing blade
Ensure the tool is switched off and the battery is removed. Clean the SDS holder mechanism. Try rotating the collar while attempting to pull the blade out. If persistent, contact customer support.
