Makita’s 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Jig Saw seamlessly combines precision and power with the lowest overall weight in its class. The XVJ03Z has a range of precision and comfort features for precise jigsaw cutting performance. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real-time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. This cordless jigsaw has lower vibration and less noise for more control and comfort. The XVJ03Z has 4 position cut settings (3 orbital and 1 straight) for fast and efficient cutting in all applications and a “tool-less” push-in lock system for quick blade changes. The blade roller guide is positioned close to the workpiece for precision accuracy in straight and bevel cuts. The Makita Cordless Jig Saw is engineered for any who requires a best-in-class engineered cordless jigsaw.
