Makita stands at the forefront of brushless motor technology. The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jigsaw (model XVJ02Z, tool only; battery and charger sold separately) seamlessly combines precision, power, and brushless efficiency. This jigsaw delivers the power and performance of a corded one without the cord hassle, making it perfect for professional woodworkers, cabinetry makers, specialized residential construction workers, and any pro-contractor looking for a top - class cordless jigsaw. It's part of Makita's growing 18V Lithium - Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by an 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style battery. Makita 18V Lithium - Ion batteries charge fast, so they spend more time working and less on the charger. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life. It's a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real - time, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can also use Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol. The XVJ02Z features a brushless motor with 3 orbital settings and straight cutting, enabling faster and more accurate cuts in various materials. The variable speed control dial (800 - 3,500 SPM) lets you match the speed to the job. The efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use, offering up to 50% longer run - time per charge than non - brushless tools. It also runs cooler and more efficiently due to no carbon brushes. Convenience features include a tool - less blade change system for quick blade installation and removal, a large 2 - finger variable speed trigger with a lock - on button, a heavy - gauge aluminum base for smooth and accurate cutting, and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. It weighs only 5.8 lbs with the battery (sold separately).
Using your Makita 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Brushless Cordless Jigsaw is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible 18V Lithium - Ion battery with a star symbol installed. If you need to change the blade, use the tool - less blade change system for a quick swap. Adjust the variable speed control dial (800 - 3,500 SPM) according to the material you're cutting. You can choose from 3 orbital settings or straight cutting for different cutting needs. Press the large 2 - finger variable speed trigger, and you can use the lock - on button for continuous operation. When cutting, keep the dual L.E.D. lights in mind to ensure good visibility of the work area. The built - in dust blower will help clear the line of cut for better accuracy. Remember, only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. After use, store the jigsaw in a dry place. If the battery gets hot during charging, don't worry; the Rapid Optimum Charger has a built - in fan to cool it down. This jigsaw comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so you can use it with confidence.
