Jigsaw Einhell TC-JS 18 Li

The Einhell TC-JS 18 Li is a cordless jigsaw designed for precise straight and curved cuts in a range of materials. With a maximum idle stroke rate of 2700 spm and a top-handle configuration, this jigsaw combines mobility with control. It cuts wood up to 70 mm deep and steel up to 8 mm, while its lightweight construction (approx. 2.12 kg) supports extended use and easier handling on jobsites and in workshops.

Advantages

The tool offers cordless convenience powered by a 2500 mAh lithium-ion battery, eliminating the need for trailing cables and enabling use in locations without mains access. The top handle provides an ergonomic grip for steady control when following templates or cutting freehand. A high maximum stroke rate allows faster cutting progress, and the compact, lightweight design reduces user fatigue during prolonged work.

How to use

Fit a compatible jigsaw blade appropriate for the material and secure it according to the tool’s blade-change system. Charge the battery fully before the first use and insert it until it locks. Mark the cutting line on the workpiece and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Hold the top handle firmly, align the blade with the cutting line, and start the jigsaw, allowing it to reach operating speed before engaging the material. Use a steady, even feed rate — do not force the blade through the workpiece. After cutting, switch off the tool and wait for the blade to stop before setting the jigsaw down and removing the battery for storage or transport.

Usage recommendations

Use blades rated for the material and thickness being cut to maintain cutting quality and extend blade life. For straighter cuts, consider using a guide or clamped straightedge. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection, and clamp or support the workpiece to reduce vibration and improve accuracy.
