Black+Decker, KS801SEK-QS, 550 W, corded Pendulum Jigsaw

The BLACK+DECKER KS801SEK-QS is a 550 W corded AutoSelect pendulum jigsaw designed for straight, curved and bevel cuts in DIY, renovation and workshop settings. Running on AC mains power, it cuts wood, hardwood, laminate, MDF, plastic, aluminium and non-alloyed steel, with maximum cutting depths of 80 mm in wood, 15 mm in aluminium and 5 mm in steel. A variable-speed control adjusts the no-load stroke rate from 1,500 to 3,000 strokes per minute, so the operator can match cutting speed to the material and task. Because the saw is corded, it runs continuously from a mains outlet without the runtime limits of a battery. It is aimed at home users, DIY enthusiasts and tradespeople who need a mains-powered jigsaw for detailed cutting and fitting work on boards, worktops and light metal sections.

The saw weighs 3 kg and has a soft-grip handle to reduce fatigue during longer use. The base plate adjusts for bevel cuts up to 45°, giving angled-cut capability for mitre joints and bevel edges. An SDS tool-free blade-change system makes blade swaps straightforward without extra tools. The integrated dust-extraction port connects to a vacuum to keep the workspace clean, and a dust blower clears the cut line for better visibility. One wood-cutting blade is supplied with the jigsaw, along with a storage case for transport and organisation. A 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects.
