Default Bending jigsaw blades

To cut the Celotex floor insulation into joist gap panels, I bought some
of these jigsaw blades which should be good for up to 100mm.

Now the jigsaw is not one of my favourite tools so I have never owned an
expensive one due to the little use I make of it. What I am finding is
go slightly off line and the blade bends out and it is almost impossible
to get a perpendicular cut over 1.2m in 75mm Celotex. Some of the
reviews mentioned this and I was wondering if the problem is down to the
blade having no set therefore not cutting a proper kerf or is it down to
the jigsaw?

Our builder got fed up with constantly cutting Celotex one day and just
blasted through the sheets with a chain saw.

Quick and effective but it did look as thopugh it had been snowing.
