Returned mine immediately. Very cheaply made. The 'lock on' button jammed and broke within the first 10 seconds of using. Buying a craftsman instead. That's just dangerous.
It not very easy to use if we want to work fine on cutting wood.
Since this item is intended to be a Christmas gift for a beginning woodworker, I am trusting the Black & Decker Jig Saw to be the top quality that I have come to associate with that company.
The saw works great going just straight on light wood.as soon as you add in heavier stock or curves good luck keeping at whatever angle setting you dialed in. It can be 90 even and the saw I think just vibrates itself loose.I upgraded to a JS660 on sale for less than I paid for this junk tool.
Although the manual is a little spare, I managed to use the product just fine, and it worked fine on the cuts I needed, despite one of them being a 4 foot straight line cut using just a pencil mark at twilight. The hardest part was opening the spare blade holder on the side. It takes a minimal effort to return the angle to 90 degrees on the guide.
