Black&Decker® has developed two completely new jigsaws the SightLineTM KS888E and the SightLineTM TURBO KS999EK that are setting new standards for consumer jigsaws in terms of performance and extra features.
Following extensive research among existing jigsaw users, Black&Decker® has redefined the jigsaw through a combination of modern styling and incorporation of features that directly address consumer needs. In particular the unique SightLineTM viewing channel allows an unobstructed view of the line of cut, so that users can see the cut line as they saw through wood, plastic, aluminium or steel (using the appropriate blade) making for greater sawing precision.
The SightLineTM KS888E Jigsaw incorporates a two-finger variable speed trigger for complete control, while the Ambi-Lock on function ensures a smooth and effortless sawing experience at full speed whether youre a left or right handed user.
Moreover, thanks to the SuperLokTM 2 tool free blade clamping mechanism, blade changes are quick and easy; more so since the three blades supplied are carried on board the machine for maximum convenience. Moreover the tool free blade changing system accepts both U and T shank blades for even greater versatility.
The powerful 500-watt KS888E SightLine? jigsaw makes light work of most materials, while the unique dust blow and dust extraction system prevents the blade from becoming clogged ensuring dust is blown away from the line of cut. In addition, a simple to use thumb wheel adjusts the cutting shoe to enable cutting at 45o without the use of an Allen key.
The SightLineTM TURBO KS999EK is even more advanced than the KS888E. A speed control dial allows precision control at all times, while its powerful 600 watt motor and a clever Turbo action fast cut facility provides the optimum balance between speed and blade aggression and makes for effortless cutting through even the toughest of materials. In keeping with SightLineTM Turbos greater power, it has a more industrial design than the standard SightLineTM jigsaw, including a metal fascia around the gearbox.
Like the KS888E, the SightLineTM TURBO jigsaw has a three metre long cable, an Ambi-Lock on function, dust blow facility, two-finger trigger action, integral blade storage and the easy to use SuperLokTM 2 tool free blade clamping system. However, the SightLineTM TURBO jigsaw also comes in a handy kit box so that everything you need for your sawing project is readily at hand.
Both SightLineTM jigsaw models have a range of comfortable gripping options for optimum performance. The top grip is perfect for close control in cutting tight curves as it places more body weight over the cutting area. The standard grip affords comfortable trigger retention and is best for more traditional cutting tasks. The rear grip allows for rapid cutting through the material while retaining trigger access for complete control. So whatever the project, the new SightLineTM range of Jigsaws are equipped to handle it with ease.
SightLineTM jigsaw and SightLineTM TURBO jigsaw are compatible with all current Black&Decker® and Piranha? jigsaw blades (U and T shank).
The Black & Decker® SightLineTM KS888E jigsaw and SightLineTM TURBO KS999EK jigsaw are available from Argos, B&Q, Homebase, Focus and all other good DIY stores nationwide, priced £34.99 and £44.99.
