It comes with a 3-year limited warranty and is only compatible with genuine Makita batteries and chargers, not 12V max pod-style tools, batteries, and chargers.
Using the Makita 12V max CXT Li-Ion cordless reciprocating saw is easy. First, make sure you have a fully charged 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion battery. Insert the battery into the saw until it clicks into place. You can choose between paddle or trigger switch operation thanks to the dual - position on/off switch. Adjust the speed according to your cutting needs. The variable speed motor can go from 0 to 3,300 strokes per minute. When changing blades, use the tool - less blade change system. Just press the button and remove or insert the blade. It can accept both Recipro and Jig Saw blades. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the saw works properly and to avoid damage. The battery has a protection circuit, but still, don't overload it or let it over - discharge. After use, clean the saw with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery. The saw comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita support.
