Makita XVJ04Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw, Tool Only

The Makita 18V LXT® Brushless Jig Saw (model XVJ04Z, tool only, battery and charger sold separately) is designed to provide a seamless combination of precision and power with the efficiency of a brushless motor in a more compact form. Engineered to deliver the power and performance of a corded jig saw without the hassles of a cord, the XVJ04Z is ideal for professional woodworkers, cabinetry makers, specialized residential construction workers, and any pro-contractor seeking a best-in-class cordless jig saw.

The XVJ04Z features 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting, allowing for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The variable speed control dial (0-3,000 SPM) enables users to match the speed to the application. The efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use, providing up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application, delivering increased power and speed when needed. With no carbon brushes, the brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life.

Convenience features include a "tool-less" blade change system for faster blade installation and removal, a large 2-finger variable speed trigger with lock-on button, and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. The base bevels and locks from 0° to 45° left or right for more precise bevel cuts, and the tool weighs only 5.5 lbs. with the battery (sold separately).

The XVJ04Z is part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing for more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ technology improves tool performance and extends battery life by monitoring conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery, indicating Star Protection inside.

The Makita-built brushless variable speed motor delivers 0-3,000 strokes per minute for faster and more efficient cutting, while the 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting allow for use in a wide range of materials. The soft no-load mode creates a more accurate starting cut by slowly increasing the speed of the blade when it engages the material, and the built-in L.E.D. light illuminates the work area. The large 2-finger variable speed trigger with lock-on button provides added convenience for the user.
