P5231 cordless jig saw

The P5231 is a electric corded jig saw manufactured by Ryobi.

The machine is powered by a brushed electric motor from an 18 volt battery that can be attached to the back side.

This jig saw has a bow handle shaped bright green plastic housing with a black rubberized grip.

The machine is activated with a gray trigger switch. Above the trigger switch is a gray round lock on button to keep the machine running without needing to hold the trigger.

On top of the handle near the front is a gray speed selection dial for setting the number of strokes per minute.

The front side of the body is an oribital actions selector with a sticker explaining when to use it. Ryobi calls this function "Speedmatch".

With an included hex keythe base can be tilted up to 45º to make bevel cuts. The saw also has a "bladesaver" feature allowing the base to be extended away from the body, when a saw blade that is longer than needed for the material is used it will allow those teeth that are otherwise unused to be used. This feature does not move the saw balde guides so that means they are further away from the work piece when using, so some precision may be lost.

Ryobi does not have a section with specifications on the product page on their website. The weight and maximum cutting capacity are unknown.
