An earlier version was the PMST 100 A1 which was made by Kompernas, and I found the manual for that one online. It tells you NOT to use standard jigsaw blades, but doesn't tell you what you should buy!<img src="http://www.satellites.co.uk/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Will have to wait till Sunday to find out who makes the B2 variant and if there is any more info on replacement blades.BTW: I have realised that although all these tools are badged Parkside, they still retain the OEM's labels as well - and those identify the companies, addresses and other relevant model-related details (the "IAN" number in particular), and the instruction manuals have the manufacturers' names, addresses and so on on the outside rear cover, and the Declarations of Conformity (DoC) to Machinery Directive and other Directives inside. This is probably done for "CE reasons" so that any safety issues "fingers" can then be pointed straight back to source!</blockquote>
