My Black&Decker jigsaw loses power when cutting material

  • Anonymous Mar 12, 2012

    No. I use new blades and it happens even on 1/4 inch ply

  • Anonymous Mar 12, 2012

    No, this does not solve my problem. I use new blades, but jigsaw still stalls when cutting 1/4" ply.
    Any further suggestion?

Ensure that blades are sharp, the material you are cutting is not greater than the rating of the saw.

    If the jigsaw has variable speed, there could be a fault in the speed control circuitry. If speed control isn't on the trigger, ensure that any speed adjustment controls on the saw are set to maximum.

I have a black and decker jigsaw that the plate you put on the wood moves and the cut angled and I do not it to?

Hi John:
These saws are usually really reliable, and SOLID.
I'd suggest that you UNPLUG THE SAW and then explore a bit. Look for loose bolts at the pivot points, or possibly a poorly fitted bolt. If this is your saw that you have had for some time, you should know what maintenance has been done that possibly caused this problem.

When cutting straight with my jigsaw the blade floats even though it is in the lock position

There is a speed and angle ratio that must be observed . Depending on the density of the material and the thickness. The shoe plate can be raised or lowered to assist with the forenamed floating condition. Proper blade selection and sharpness is essential.

With thick materials pushing the blades design, speed and force must be regulated through patience to provide the accuracy you demand. The complete blade system is another part of your investment . Understanding what and when can overcome fast if problems arise. Assuming all of this is in your tool box. I always have been taught. Only adapt when all reason is exhausted.


The last part I have had happen is vibration and tool integrity. Maintaining a tight fastener system all over the tool by lubrication is paramount from use or lack of it. Preventive measures spot stuff from happening when you are making the million dollar cut. But we all know that. Daily or startup practice. Just like stretching before playing, a great coach takes the time to do it for their selves too.


There are six JS700 models. Here is a place for parts should that arise Black Decker Jigsaw Replacement Parts Repair your Black Decker Jigsaw... . Furthermore, here is some words for those who are new at the application. Take a look. How to Use Jigsaw basic. This next look in video instruction is thorough and shows intermediate techniques with some experienced foundation. How to Use Jigsaw produced by skill. The Woodworker Journal places the top six picks side by side in the last video offered Top Shelf Jigsaw Review . There is one called a "Mafell" which has a so called perfect orbiting system, which some make it, the straight cut King.


I took the time to do this on the first day of summer. There is lots more to discuss. I think you have the most versatile easy to learn tool in your shop. I am almost sure you think so too. Keep humming. Fare. Well.

How do you put a new blade into a Black & Decker JS4000 Type 1 jigsaw

There is a black plastic switch where the blade is slid into the jigsaw. The black plastic switch can be seen and accessed from the front of the jigsaw through the clear plastic sight guide...You pull the black switch toward the bottom of the jigsaw and it opens the space for the blade to slide into, when you release the switch it will close the space and lock the blade into place.

Hope this helps.

I have a corded Black and Decker jigsaw, that is brand new. It cut one cut and then will not come back on. Can i reset something on the saw?

Don't bother. Return it to the store where it was purchased. No tool should malfunction that early in its life.

I do not know to use the black and decker jigsaw.

Draw the circle pattern on the wood where you need it. Drill a 1/2 or 3/8 inch hole inside the circle, near the circle line. Insert the jigsaw blade into the hole and start cutting, following the line.

If you have the scrolling feature on your saw, don't use it, lock the scroll.
