The Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Top Handle Jig Saw (VJ06Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) delivers fast and efficient cutting, with a compact design that’s engineered for ease-of-use and maneuverability. The VJ06Z features a top handle design and is ideal for woodworkers, cabinet makers, remodelers, and general contractors. Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries provide improved balance and ergonomics over pod-style batteries, and for convenience the batteries include an on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator (batteries sold separately). The VJ06Z has a compact and ergonomic design with less weight (only 4.1 lbs. with 12V max CXT® 2.0Ah battery, sold separately). The efficient Makita-built brushless motor is engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The variable 5-speed control dial (800-3,000 RPM) enables the user to match the speed to the application, and the 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting provide added versatility. The soft start suppresses start-up reaction for better accuracy, and the no-load speed reduction feature automatically reduces SPM for more accurate cutting starts. Convenience features include “tool-less” blade changes, large 2-finger variable speed trigger with lock-on button, dual L.E.D. lights, and a built-in dust blower to clear the line of cut. For longer run time, all 12V max CXT® cordless tools are also compatible with the 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B, sold separately). 12V max CXT® lithium-Ion batteries are engineered with a Battery Protection Circuit that protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. It’s part of the expanding 12V max CXT® series, combining performance with superior ergonomics in a compact size. Makita-built brushless motor and 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting deliver faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. Variable 5-speed control dial (800-3,000 SPM) enables user to match the speed to the application. Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for better accuracy. No-load speed reduction feature automatically reduces SPM for more accurate cutting starts. Efficient BL™ Brushless Motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge. The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and SPM to the changing demands of the application. "Tool-less" blade change system allows for faster blade installation and removal for increased productivity. Large 2-finger variable speed trigger for added convenience with lock-on button. Tilting base for bevel cuts from 0° - 45°. Heavy Gauge (In.) aluminum base for smooth, accurate cutting and added durability. Dual L.E.D. lights illuminate the work area. Rubberized soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job. Built-in dust blower clears the line of cut for increased accuracy. Weighs only 4.1 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue. Compact and ergonomic design at only 9-3/8" long. Battery Protection Circuit protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. Part of the expanding 12V max CXT® series, combining performance with superior ergonomics in a compact size. Not compatible with 12V max pod-style tools, batteries and chargers. 3-year limited warranty. Battery and charger not included. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers..
