Jigsaw GreenWorks GD24JS — cordless brushless top-handle, 24 V, 3000 spm, 100 mm wood, 8 mm steel

The GreenWorks GD24JS is a cordless brushless top-handle jigsaw powered by a 24 V lithium-ion battery. It delivers up to 3000 strokes per minute and is rated to cut up to 100 mm in wood and 8 mm in steel. The tool combines cordless mobility with a compact design and a tool-less blade change system. It includes a base that allows bevel adjustment up to 45° and a vacuum connection for dust extraction, making it suitable for curved and straight cutting tasks in woodworking, metal repair and general DIY.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides improved efficiency and longer runtime compared with brushed alternatives while maintaining high cutting performance. Its cordless 24 V platform ensures compatibility with other tools in the same battery family. Tool-less blade changes and a tool-less bevel adjustment simplify setup and reduce downtime. An integrated vacuum attachment helps control dust at the worksite and the lightweight top-handle design promotes maneuverability during curved or vertical cuts.

Suitable for

• Home DIY projects involving wood and sheet metal
• Curved and straight cutting in carpentry and joinery
• On-site repairs where cordless mobility is required
• Small metal repair and modification tasks up to 8 mm steel

How to use

Fit a compatible blade into the tool-less blade holder and ensure it is securely locked before switching on. Install a charged 24 V battery from the same GreenWorks battery family and check that the vacuum connection or dust extraction hose is attached if required. Position the baseplate flat on the workpiece, set the desired stroke rate and bevel angle (if needed) and begin cutting while guiding the top-handle jigsaw steadily along the cut line. Allow the blade to reach full speed before engaging the material and avoid forcing the tool; let the blade do the work for a clean cut.

Usage recommendations

Use blades appropriate for the material and thickness: coarse-tooth blades for fast ripping in wood, fine-tooth or bi-metal blades for clean cuts in thin sheet metal and blades rated for the specified maximum depths. For bevel cuts, confirm the baseplate is locked after adjustment. When cutting for extended periods, monitor battery charge and allow blades to cool between long cuts to extend blade life. Use dust extraction when working indoors or on finished surfaces to maintain a clean workspace and improve visibility of the cut line.
