On: Making holes without an electric drill

It also takes a bit of skill and gumption, but yeah, its doable.

You tip the saw forward on its table so the blade is above the wood, hold down the “Go” button, and slowly lean the jigsaw back towards flat. It is important that the jigsaw’s table is in solid contact with the wood the, erm, hole time.

I can vouch for the fact that this works, though I'd consider it something of a last resort.
