The STAYER SJS-500-60-E jigsaw is an average power tool both in terms of price and technical parameters.
This jigsaw has a power of 500W. This power is enough to cut fairly thick lumber (up to 50 - 60 mm thick, though only across the fibers and metal parts up to 6 mm thick).
In general, this jigsaw will perfectly cut both fiberboard and chipboard, as well as plywood sheets, various metal profiles, aluminum corners, etc.
This jigsaw also has an electronic adjustment of the frequency of the saw blade, which ensures the safety and reliability of the tool.
Since the jigsaw has an adjustable soleplate, you can adjust it for both perpendicular and ±45° angled cuts.
Also, in order to cut parts of equal width, you can install a guide stop on a jigsaw.
The body of the jigsaw also has a pipe for connecting a vacuum cleaner. This will prevent dust and sawdust from scattering throughout the room or apartment.
For long-term work, for example, a long cut of thick sheet material, there is a switch lock button on the handle. That is, you will not need to constantly keep your finger on the start button during the sawing process. It is very useful when you need to saw the same material for a long time, for example, to dissolve a sheet of plywood.
Outwardly, like other power tools of the STAYER line, this jigsaw model is made in a yellow-gray case. The body is made of durable plastic. At the same time, there is a special pad on the handle, which is located on top, so that the hand does not slip when working in the heat.
The controls are classic. The start button for the jigsaw is located under the handle, while with the correct position of the hand, the button for fixing the engine speed will be located under the thumb. If you are sawing strong metal or solid wood, then you can put your second hand on the front of the case. This will help increase the pressure on the jigsaw blade.
The sole of the jigsaw is stamped, but at the same time it can be adjusted if you need to get a cut not at 90, but at 45 degrees.
The jigsaw is powered by 220 V, like most modern household power tools. At the same time, in order not to lose the key for tightening the fixing bolt of the file, there is a special mount on the power cord especially for it.
