Safety Instructions
Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when operating power tools.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings:
- Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Electrical Safety: Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
- Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and suitable work gloves. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry.
- Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Jigsaw Specific Safety:
- Always secure the workpiece with clamps or a vise. Holding the workpiece by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
- Ensure the blade is sharp and suitable for the material being cut.
- Keep hands and fingers away from the cutting area and the blade.
- Allow the blade to reach full speed before beginning a cut.

Setup
Blade Installation:
- Ensure the jigsaw is unplugged from the power source.
- Locate the blade clamp mechanism, typically at the front of the tool.
- Open the blade clamp (refer to the tool's specific mechanism, usually a lever or screw).
- Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder, ensuring it is fully seated and the teeth are facing forward.
- Securely close the blade clamp. Gently pull on the blade to confirm it is firmly held.
Connecting to Power:
- Verify that the voltage of your power supply matches the tool's specified voltage (220 Volts).
- Plug the power cord into a suitable and grounded electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
Variable Speed Control:
The EMTOP EJSW5701 Jigsaw features a variable speed control dial, allowing you to adjust the no-load speed from 800 to 3000 RPM. Select a lower speed for harder materials like steel or for more precise cuts, and a higher speed for softer materials like wood or for faster cutting.
Pendulum Function:
The 4-step pendulum function adjusts the orbital action of the blade. This feature allows for faster cutting in softer materials and helps clear sawdust from the cutting path. Use a lower pendulum setting (or none) for fine cuts and harder materials, and a higher setting for aggressive, fast cuts in wood.
Cutting Materials:
- Wood: The jigsaw can cut wood up to 65mm thick. Use appropriate wood-cutting blades and adjust speed and pendulum settings as needed.
- Steel: The jigsaw can cut steel up to 8mm thick. Use metal-cutting blades and a lower speed setting. Apply light pressure and allow the blade to do the work.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your jigsaw.
Cleaning:
- After each use, unplug the tool and clean off any dust, chips, or debris from the ventilation openings and the base plate using a soft brush or compressed air.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Carbon Brush Replacement:
The EMTOP EJSW5701 Jigsaw comes with an extra set of carbon brushes. Carbon brushes wear down over time and need replacement when they become too short or cause intermittent operation. Refer to the tool's specific design for accessing and replacing the brush caps, typically located on the sides of the motor housing.
Blade Care:
- Inspect saw blades before each use for sharpness and damage. Dull or bent blades can cause poor cuts and strain the motor.
- Replace worn or damaged blades promptly.
