Jigsaw Servicing, a How to Guide

I will show you how to service a jigsaw. Just a basic cleaning and relubricating.
What you will need:
L key set.
Screwdriver
Pliers
Lubricant
Grease
Paper towels or any tissue paper or clean cloth

Taking Apart

First of all remove the base plate of the jigsaw using your L key.
Then start removing your screws. Place them into a small bowl or cap to keep them from dissapearing.

The Inside

This is the inside of a jigsaw. Start cleaning the dust and old grease out of the machine using the paper towels or cloth. You can use a brush for the wood dust. Be careful when removing any parts so that they do not get damaged or lost.

Regreasing

After cleaning out all of the dust and old grease. Ensure that you re-lubricate all of the gears and gogs. If you do not have new grease you can reuse the old grease but it is not recommended as it can contain a lot of debris.

After re-greasing is done ensure that the cover is clipped back tightly and that all screws are screwed in properly. and just give Your machine a test run without cutting anything, to ensure that everything is working properly.
