Product Description
The Makita 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion Brushless top handle jig saw (VJ06Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) is a game - changer. It offers rapid and effective cutting, thanks to its compact and user - friendly design, perfect for easy handling and movement. Ideal for woodworkers, cabinet makers, remodelers, and general contractors, this jig saw features a top handle design. The Makita 12V max CXT Lithium - Ion slide - style batteries bring better balance and comfort compared to pod - style ones. They also come with an on - board L.E.D. charge level indicator for added convenience (batteries sold separately). Weighing just 4.1 lbs. with a 12V max CXT 2.0 Ah battery (sold separately), it has a compact and ergonomic build. The efficient Makita - built Brushless Motor ensures longer run time, more power, higher speed, and a longer tool lifespan. The variable 5 - speed control dial (800 - 3,000 RPM) allows you to adjust the speed according to the task, and with 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting, it offers great versatility. The soft start feature reduces start - up jolts for greater accuracy, and the no - load speed reduction automatically cuts down SPM for precise cutting starts. It comes with handy features like tool - less blade changes, a large 2 - finger variable speed trigger with a lock - on button, dual L.E.D. lights, and a built - in dust blower to keep the cutting line clear. All 12V max CXT cordless tools can also use the 12V max CXT Lithium - Ion 4.0 Ah battery (BL1041B, sold separately) for extended run time. The 12V max CXT Lithium - Ion batteries have a protection circuit to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. It's part of the growing 12V max CXT series that combines high performance with excellent ergonomics in a small size. Included is a Jig Saw Blade.
Using your Makita VJ06Z jig saw is easy. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 12V max CXT Lithium - Ion battery (sold separately). Insert the battery into the tool. For blade installation, use the tool - less blade change system. Just place the blade in the right position and secure it. To start cutting, hold the tool with the rubberized soft grip handle for comfort. Use the large 2 - finger variable speed trigger. You can lock it on for continuous use. Adjust the speed using the variable 5 - speed control dial according to the material you're cutting. If you need to make bevel cuts, tilt the base from 0° to 45°. The dual L.E.D. lights will illuminate your work area, and the built - in dust blower will clear the cutting line. When not in use, store the tool in a dry place. Keep the battery charged and avoid over - discharging or over - heating it. Check the blade regularly for wear and replace it when necessary. If you notice any unusual noises or problems with the tool, stop using it and have it checked by a professional.
