Electric Jig Saw

Jig saw is a small type of electric saw machine, which is also written as jigsaw. Electric jig saw can be used in cutting/sawing irregular curves on wood, steel, plastic and other materials, through reciprocating saw blade. Install a special saw blade, it can be used to cut metal. Install a saber, it can be used to saw profiles, cast iron pipes, concrete pipes, etc. To some extent, jig saw can perform the functions of band saw, scrolling saw, and even circular saw. It is a common power tools in professional woodworking, industrial production and commercial processing. Electric jig saw has lightweight and portable, can be placed on table or operate it by hand.

Jig Saw Features

• Orbital Action

In an electric jig saw with orbital action, saw blade moves slightly forward to cut into the workpiece as it swings upward. Then it moves slightly backward on the down stroke, because saw blade will reset for the next sawing stroke. The trajectory of saw blade is slightly elliptical, which minimizes the wear of saw blade and eliminates the chatter phenomenon that sometimes occurs, and cutting action is smoother.

• Variable Speeds

High-quality electric jig saws usually have variable speeds to meet different sawing requirements. For woodworking, variable speed may not be necessary. In metal cutting or complex curve cutting, a slower speed will help the sawing effect.

• Cutting Depth

In woodworking applications, most electric jig saws can cut depths of up to 3.15-inch, and on steel they can cut about 10mm. Some jig saws may have greater cutting capacity, but it is not that the deeper the cut, the better. Because the deeper the saw blade is inserted, the more likely it is to bend and break.

• Corded vs Cordless

Nowadays, there are more and more cordless electric jig saws on the market, and they are very convenient to use. However, if you need a single jig saw, a corded jig saw is a better choice because it can handle all sawing works easily.

• Laser Guide

An electric jig saw with laser function can emit a laser guide wire, which is a thin red cutting line projected from the front of the saw. Laser function helps to improve the accuracy in straight cutting.

Using a Jig Saw 

Like many power tools, jig saw is a common power tool, can be used for various curves or straight lines. In all kinds of plates, the saw cut out the geometry with small radius of curvature, is widely used in automobile, wood mold, upholstery, leather, shipping and other industries. It is suitable for sawing wood, metal, plastic, rubber and other sheet materials in straight line or curve. So, how should we use it correctly? Here are some tips:

• Before use

1. Make sure that the power supply used is consistent with the tool nameplate
2. Make sure the power switch is in the "off" state. Otherwise, the tool will start immediately when the plug is inserted into the power socket, which is easy to cause safety accidents;
3. Use special extension cable, and place the cable on the back of the tool.
4. Operators or spectators should dress correctly according to the regulations. They should wear well-fitting clothes and shoes, and wear goggles to avoid being injured by sawdust.
5. Wear a pair of canvas gloves for welders to prevent wood or iron spines from sticking into your hands.
6. Before the workpiece is processed, the fixture should be tightened, and it is forbidden to work on the loose and shaken objects
7. Children should leave the operation site to avoid unnecessary safety accidents before operation.

• In use

1. Use the screwdriver of the electric curve bureau to install the saw blade in the state of power failure.
2. It is not suitable for cutting boards below 3MM (such as three splints) and iron sheets below 0.3mm, because too thin boards do not have enough stiffness to support the high-speed movement of the saw blade.
3. The appropriate saw blade needs to correspond to different brands and models of machines, matching different saw blades.
4. Be sure to pull out the power plug when changing the saw blade.
5. To use gear 1 and 2 to do the first adaptation in the first use.
6. Remember not to have been high operation after a period of time to suspend the operation.
7. During operation, the sawdust should be cleaned in time.
8. If you want to cut thick metal, you should use cutting fluid, which can lubricate the movement of the saw blade, eliminate fine sawdust, and prevent the overheating of the saw blade to produce fire arc.

• After use

1. Turn off the electric curve saw switch, release it after the rotation stops, and then unplug the power supply.
2. Clean the electric curve saw and its surroundings.
3. Do not touch the processing parts with bare hands to prevent scald.
4. Must immediately turn off the electric curve saw switch when the power cut, rest, work and leave the workplace, and unplug the power plug.
