I
7543-04 & 7548-04 JIG SAWS
INTRODUCTION
Your new jig saw has been engineered for versatility
and
rugged use. Whether
you have the 7543·04 Single Speed
Jig
Saw
or
the 7548·04 Variable Speed
model you can
be
assured that
it
was
built
to Black & Decker's rigid quality
standards that have made ours the name
to
count on for over 70 years.
Our innovative
M-47 Series
motor
design makes
it
possible to reduce the
overall size of the tool without sacrificing any power. The smaller size puts
the handle closer
to
the work surface
for
better control and allows
cutting
in
tight
spots that isn't possible with conventional
jig
saws.
Features like anti-splintering shoes and full bevel adjustment left and right
make these excellent values that
will
serve you
for
years
to
come.
Don't forget to send in your owner's registration card.
Thanks
for
selecting Black & Decker!
