1.The saw does not cut wood by itself. You allow the saw to cut wood by guiding the wood into the blade as it moves.

2.The blade teeth cut ONLY on the down stroke.

3.You must feed the wood into the blade slowly because the teeth of the blade are very small and they can only remove wood when they are on the down stroke. The blade will flex backwards when applying feed pressure. Too much feed pressure will cause blade breakage.

4.Best results are achieved when cutting wood less than 1" thick.

5.Teeth on jigsaw blades wear out and blades must be replaced frequently for best cutting results.

6.Metal should not be cut with this jigsaw.
