HOW TO USE IT
Pull the trigger to power the jigsaw, the harder you pull the trigger the faster the blade will go. Allow the blade to do the work, don't apply much pressure as this could bend the blade and damage the machine. The blade may take a few seconds to completely stop once you let go of the trigger, allow it stop before resting it down and turning it off at the mains. If your wood is burning it may mean the blade is too hot, it could be that you have been using it for too long or the blade is blunt and needs replacing.
Keep fingers and cord away from the blade.
