A:  I can't find the running or starting amperage for this, but my circular saw is starting watts and 1600 running. I would imagine this is less than my old craftsman circular saw.

A:  Hello, Daniloui - Thank you for your question. To install blade: Unplug the saw. Rotate orbital adjustment knob to position 3. Rotate the rapid change blade clamp so that the slot in the blade clamp is aligned with the slot in the blade support roller. Holding the blade clamp in place, insert the saw blade as far as possible into the slot in the blade clamp body and blade support roller. Check to make sure the back of the saw blade is centered in the slot of the blade support roller and blade clamp. Release the blade clamp. Make sure the blade is securely in place. Check that the blade is inserted fully and completely secured. Blade will lock into position when correctly installed. Do not use the tool if the blade is not installed correctly. Rotate orbital adjustment knob back to desired position. I hope this helps!

A:  Yes it will slowly 

A:  yes, you can use the Ryobi 4.8 AMP variable speed jigsaw to cut through a 2-inch board. Be sure to use the Ryobi general-purpose jigsaw blade that is long enough. Also, move the tool at a slower pace and be sure that the blade is sharp.
