Makita XSJ01Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 18 Gauge Straight Shear (Tool Only)

Using the Makita XSJ01Z is a breeze. First, make sure you have a compatible Makita 18V Lithium - Ion battery with a Star symbol (battery sold separately). Insert the battery into the tool. Hold the tool firmly by the rubberized soft - grip handle. You can adjust the belt clip to either side of the tool for easy carrying. To start cutting, position the shear head on the metal you want to cut. Thanks to the 360° swivel shear head, you can choose the best angle for your cut. The Makita - built 4 - pole motor will do the rest, cutting through 18 - gauge mild steel and 20 - gauge stainless steel quickly. When it comes to charging, use the Rapid Optimum Charger (charger sold separately). It has a built - in fan to cool the battery and communicates with the battery's built - in chip to optimize battery life. Charge the battery for about 30 minutes. Remember, the Star Protection Computer Controls™ protect the tool from overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. For maintenance, keep the tool clean after each use. Wipe it down with a dry cloth. Store the tool in a dry place when not in use. And don't forget, the tool comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so you're covered if anything goes wrong.
