This jigsaw has a “feature” that soft starts and then speeds up when it encounters resistance. This can be a problem when trying to do fine work. A comment in a youtube video for the barrel version of the jigsaw had a way to shut off this soft start feature.
The lamp blinks twice to indicate that the soft no-load rotation function is disabled. To enable this function again, perform the same procedure again.
An old cabinet maker on youtube discussed a plausible reason for kickback on table saws and how he's effectively eliminated in his work. He says a table saw using a big 10 inch blade is the reason that kickbacks can be so dangerous. Instead he says, use a 7 inch blade. They are often thinner and can go through the stock a lot easier. Kickbacks are less likely to happen. Obviously being careful to not pinch the wood and use a riving knife too.
