Included Accessories

The standard kit contains a single T 144 D blade (2 608 630 040), a durable transport case, and all necessary mounting hardware. The blade is suitable for straight cuts in wood, laminate, and soft plastics.

Design Features

• Ergonomic Handle: Designed to reduce fatigue during prolonged use.
• Variable Speed Control: Allows fine adjustment of cutting speed for different materials and cut types.
• Dust Extraction Port: Facilitates attachment of a vacuum or dust collection system, keeping the work area clean.
• Compact Footprint: The lightweight chassis makes it ideal for detailed work in confined spaces.

Applications

The PST 700 E excels in a variety of tasks:

• Cutting curved and irregular shapes in wood panels, plywood, and MDF.
• Creating precise cuts for cabinetry, furniture assembly, and trim work.
• Slicing laminate, vinyl, and other soft composites with minimal tear-out.

Operating Tips

1. Select the appropriate blade: Use a fine-toothed blade for smooth finishes; a coarse blade for rough cuts.
2. Adjust speed to material: Lower speeds (500–1 200 cpm) are best for hardwoods, while higher speeds (2 000–3 100 cpm) suit softwoods and plastics.
3. Maintain a steady feed rate: Avoid forcing the blade; let the motor do the work to prevent overheating.
4. Use the dust port: Connect a vacuum to keep debris away from the cutting area, improving visibility and safety.

Maintenance & Care

• After each use, clean the blade guard and dust port with a dry cloth.
• Inspect the blade for wear; replace it when teeth become dull or damaged.
• Store the jigsaw in its case to protect against moisture and accidental damage.

Safety Considerations

Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece with clamps. Keep fingers clear of the blade path, especially when changing blades or adjusting speed settings.
