BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS: Workshop Positioning & Cutting Capabilities

Positioned as a versatile workhorse for North American shops and jobsites, the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS brings BLACK+DECKER’s proven mechanical endurance to daily fabrication. The combination of an agile Top Handle (D-Handle) architecture and an efficient 120V / 4.7 Amp Corded drive allows operators to steer the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS through complex contours and bevel joints with repeatable accuracy.

BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS is engineered for dependable woodworking precision and clean curve severance. Features 120v / 4.7 amp corded, multi-stage orbital action, and tool-free T-shank blade changes for jobsite and home remodeling projects.

The BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS provides substantial cutting authority with factory ratings of 3-1/8 in. (80 mm) in structural timber, 3/8 in. (10 mm) in metal sheeting, and 13/16 in. (20 mm) in light alloys, making it well-suited for framing cutouts, plumbing penetrations, and fine cabinetry scribing.

Motor Architecture & Vibration Damping Dynamics

Built around a robust 120V / 4.7 Amp Corded drivetrain, the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS delivers consistent reciprocating thrust across 0–3.000 SPM. Precision-machined internal gears absorb mechanical lash, resulting in stable linear strokes when tracking intricate pattern lines.

With its classic bow-handle architecture, the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS provides comfortable, upright control ideal for general workshop dimensioning and jobsite framing. A variable-speed trigger with an integrated lock-on button permits steady feed rates without inducing hand cramping on extended sheet cuts.

Shoe Base Engineering, Bevel Accuracy & Cut-Line Clarity

Fabricated from stamped steel with reinforced side ribs, the base of the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS maintains true squareness against guide fences. Fast-setting bevel detents simplify angled joinery, and an integrated cut-line blower whisks chips away from the layout line.

Keyless Blade Clamp & Orbital Action Settings

Changing blades on the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS requires zero tools thanks to a spring-loaded quick-change chuck. Pulling the external release lever disengages the locking tangs for instant, safe blade replacement with standard T-shank accessories.

A dedicated 4-position orbital action switch on the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS adjusts the aggressive forward thrust of the blade:

• Setting 0: Vertical reciprocation without orbital swing. Essential for sheet metals, copper tubing, PVC, and chip-free cuts in double-sided melamine veneers.
• Setting 1: Subtle orbital oscillation. Recommended for dense hardwoods like white oak, hard maple, and birch plywood to balance edge smoothness with cut progress.
• Setting 2: Medium pendulum swing. The workhorse setting for general softwood framing (2x4, 2x6) and construction lumber.
• Setting 3: Maximum aggressive orbital thrust. Delivers blistering feed speed for rough dimensioning, timber framing, and demolition work where speed outweighs edge cosmetics.

Frequently Asked Questions About the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS

Can I use existing BLACK+DECKER batteries with the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS?

Yes. The BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS is fully cross-compatible with any standard pack from the BLACK+DECKER 120V / 4.7 Amp Corded lineup. Whether using compact 2.0 Ah slim packs or high-demand 5.0 Ah extended-runtime batteries, the tool locks on securely without adapters.

Does the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS feature low-voltage battery protection?

Yes. Integrated microprocessor monitoring cuts motor power before cells discharge below critical voltage levels, preserving the overall cycle life and health of your 120V / 4.7 Amp Corded lithium-ion packs.

Does the blade clamp accept U-shank blades?

No. Like modern professional jigsaws, the BLACK+DECKER KS701PEK-QS is engineered specifically for universal T-shank blades. T-shank side tangs provide positive mechanical locking that prevents blade slippage under high orbital loads.
