This saw is designed with user comfort in mind. It's compact and ergonomic, only 17 - 1/4' long, and weighs just 8.2 lbs. with the battery (battery not included), reducing operator fatigue. The rubberized soft - grip handle provides a comfortable hold on the job. The reinforced fixed shoe enhances durability. The large two - finger variable speed trigger and electric brake are designed for maximum convenience and productivity. The refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and vibration. It also features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance in harsh conditions. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™, it safeguards against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. Makita's technology offers a category - leading charge time, so your battery spends more time working and less time charging. This saw is compatible with Makita 18V Lithium - Ion batteries with a Star symbol (battery and charger sold separately). It comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, and remember to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers. Makita's 18V LXT reciprocating saw combines brushless motor technology and battery innovation. The electronically - controlled BL™ Brushless motor adjusts torque and RPM according to the application, and it runs on the industry's fastest - charging 18V lithium - ion batteries. You can use the same 18V batteries across the Makita 18V LXT® cordless tool lineup. The long 1 - 1/4” stroke length and refined crank mechanism improve cutting efficiency. It also has an L.E.D. light to light up the cutting line, a retractable tool hook, and 'tool - less' blade change for easy operation. It's part of Makita's extensive 18V Lithium - Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by an 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style battery.
Using your Makita 18V LXT Reciprocating Saw is straightforward. First, make sure you have a fully - charged Makita 18V Lithium - Ion battery with a Star symbol (battery and charger sold separately). Insert the battery into the saw. To change the blade, use the 'tool - less' blade change system. Just press the button and remove or insert the blade easily. When starting to cut, hold the saw firmly with the rubberized soft - grip handle. Use the variable speed trigger to control the speed according to your cutting needs. For lighter tasks, you can use the low - speed setting (0 - 2,300 strokes per minute), and for tougher jobs, switch to the high - speed setting (0 - 3,000 strokes per minute). As you cut, the saw's refined crank mechanism will minimize blade deflection and vibration, making your work easier. Remember, this saw has a long 1 - 1/4' stroke length, which increases cutting efficiency. When not in use, store the saw in a dry place. Keep it away from excessive dust and water, as the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) can only do so much. Also, always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and protect the saw from overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The saw comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, but proper maintenance will keep it working well beyond that. If you notice any issues with the saw, stop using it immediately and contact Makita's customer service.
