Its low profile also makes the jigsaw feel stable, along with the wide, sturdy shoe and balanced weight. Furthermore, at the light weight of just 1.3 kg, this jigsaw is easy to manage and manoeuvre. It is also fitted with an overmoulded, non-slip handle, which makes the jigsaw comfortable to use and offers added control.
Applications
This jigsaw is suitable for general wood cutting, curved cuts and bevelled cuts at 45 degrees. It can be used for light sheet metal and metal pipe cutting, as it will cut steel to a depth of 5 mm and aluminium to a depth of 10 mm. It is therefore, suitable for light decorative and hobby DIY tasks, such as making shelving, cutting wood flooring and general maintenance tasks.
Performance
The cut quality is essential to achieving a successful end result, which is why the Black + Decker KS501 jigsaw is designed for better performance at all light DIY applications. The internal mechanism is counter-balanced to reduce vibration, which reduces fatigue during sustained work and gives you better control over the tool. Moreover, this reduced vibration allows you to achieve more precise, accurate cuts for a better finish.
The jigsaw also comes with two key features that facilitate accurate, precise cuts: the lock-on feature and dust blower. The lock-on feature removes the need to continuously hold the trigger switch to operate the tool, you simply ‘lock-on’ and go. This convenient addition to the tool makes prolonged cutting less tiring and more comfortable, which ultimately gives you a better finish.
The jigsaw is also designed to ensure that you can see your work clearly, as the integral dust blower feature keeps the line of cut clear, whilst the wire safety guard makes the blade clearly visible, unlike thicker guards. This enhanced clarity ensures the precision and accuracy of the cut
