                                            A:  Thank you for your question. The height from the bottom of the footplate to the top of the jigsaw is 7 inches (without blade). The tool is equipped with a slide on-off switch. Slide the switch forward to lock in the "on" position for continuous operation. To unlock the switch, slide the switch button backward.

                                              A:  About 7" tall and long. You actually do not have a choice in locking the ON button, it DOES stay ON, which is my biggest gripe too. I like variable speed at the trigger, not a separate dial. Come on Bosch, listen to pro woodworkers! Festool and Metabo are beating you..
