Power consumption

The maximum electrical power consumed by the jigsaw during operation. It is worth noting that this parameter uniquely determines only the amount of electricity spent on the operation of the tool; its practical characteristics, for example, the thickness of the material and the speed of operation, depend primarily on the output power (see below). On the other hand, the output power is not always indicated by the manufacturer, and therefore a comparison by power consumption is quite acceptable — to a certain extent, it allows you to evaluate the characteristics of the tool. So, it is believed that electric jigsaws up to 600 W are enough for domestic use, and more powerful models belong to the professional segment. For more information on selecting a jigsaw for power, see "Output Power".

Pendulum action

Possibility of work of a fret saw in the mode of the pendular course. In this mode, the working blade moves not only up and down, but also back and forth in such a way that contact with the material and sawing are carried out only when moving up. It is believed that the pendulum mode can increase the speed of work (especially when working with thick materials) and increase the life of the file. On the other hand, the quality of the cut using the pendulum stroke is worse than in the normal mode, and therefore it is not recommended to use it for precise work.

In box

- Charger. A device for charging the batteries used in the tool with the appropriate power supply. For models supplied with such a device, the charger model may be additionally specified in the characteristics. This information can be useful not only for finding a spare or replacement charger, but also in case the household has other cordless tools and / or batteries for them. On the other hand, a lot of modern cordless tools come without a charger at all. This option will be optimal, first of all, if a compatible memory is already available, and there is simply no need to overpay for a second device. In addition, the lack of a charger will be appreciated by those who want to choose this accessory separately, without relying on the manufacturer's decision.

- Rubberized handle. The presence of a rubber pad on the handle of the jigsaw. Rubber provides a more secure hold on the tool than plastic, and also helps reduce vibration transmitted to the operator's hands. In some models, rubber pads are made corrugated - for additional reliability.

- Protective shield. The presence in the design of the jigsaw of a transparent (usually plexiglass) protective shield in the front, near the file. It prevents fine sawdust from being scattered during operation, and also improves blowing or suction efficiency (if these functions are present, see "Functions/Features" for more details). In most cases, the p...rotective shield is made removable.

- Case included. The presence of a special suitcase-case in the delivery set of the jigsaw. Such a case greatly facilitates storage and transportation, because. initially “sharpened” for a specific jigsaw model. In addition, additional accessories can usually be stored in it: replacement files, a tool for changing them (if required), a spare battery, etc.

- Flexible shaft. The flexible shaft is a special kind of auxiliary nozzle. Outwardly, this device looks like a hose, sometimes quite long. One end of such a "hose" is attached to the cartridge, and the other has its own cartridge, where the working nozzle is attached - rotation is transmitted to it due to the shaft located inside the "hose". The part of the flexible shaft held in the hands during operation is more compact and lighter than the jigsaw itself, so the most popular ways to use such equipment are the processing of hard-to-reach places (where the tool simply cannot crawl through) and fine work (which is difficult to do with a massive machine).

- Pedal. The presence of the pedal frees the hands of the master and allows you to adjust the speed of rotation of the nozzle by changing the pressure on the pedal. The dependence here is directly proportional - the stronger the pressure, the higher the speed.
