Product Description
The Makita XRJ04T 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Reciprocating Saw kit is a powerhouse for fast and efficient cutting. It runs on the industry's quickest - charging 18V Lithium - Ion batteries. This means you can stick to one battery platform and use the same rapidly - charging 18V batteries across all Makita 18V LXT cordless tools. The XRJ04T comes with features that boost cutting speed. Its long 1 - 1/4 In. stroke length enhances cutting efficiency, and the well - designed crank mechanism reduces blade deflection and vibration. For added convenience, it has a large two - finger variable speed trigger, an electric brake, and a tool - less blade change system for quick blade installation and removal. The saw also has a compact and ergonomic design, just 19 - 1/8 In. long, and weighs only 8.3 lbs. with the battery, reducing operator fatigue. The rubberized soft - grip handle makes it comfortable to use. It features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for better dust and water resistance in tough conditions. The 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 5.0 Ah battery BL1850B offers up to 50% more run - time per charge, charges fully in 45 minutes or less, and has an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator. It's also protected by STAR Protection computer controls against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The Rapid Optimum Charger optimizes battery life by controlling current, voltage, and temperature during charging and has a built - in fan for faster charging. This saw is compatible with Makita 18V Lithium - Ion batteries with a Star symbol.
Using the Makita XRJ04T is straightforward. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the saw until it clicks into place. To start cutting, hold the saw firmly with the rubberized soft - grip handle and use the large two - finger variable speed trigger to control the cutting speed. You can adjust the speed according to the material you're cutting. When it's time to change the blade, use the tool - less blade change system for a quick and easy swap. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. Keep the saw away from water and excessive dust as much as possible, but thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), it can handle some harsh conditions. After use, clean the saw with a dry cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaning solution. Store the saw in a dry place and the battery in a cool, dry area. Also, don't overcharge the battery. The Rapid Optimum Charger will take care of charging properly, but it's still a good idea to remove the battery once it's fully charged to extend its life.
