Jigsaws are used by hobby and experienced woodworkers alike, and are a great introduction to power tools.

Start cutting with a jigsaw by loading the blade with the teeth facing forward.

A variable speed trigger controls the speed of the blade which operates in an up and down motion.

Start the blade before touching the wood, or you risk splitting the edges.

Always wear eye protection when using a jigsaw and enjoy this underrated woodworking power tool on your next project.
