It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have fast charge times, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star Symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. This Promotion also comes with a bonus 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Jig Saw, (Tool-Only).

Works great. Could be better with reduced vibration.

Much better quality than my plug in jigsaw and still has plenty of power

Really nicely designed tool. I bought because I needed to cut a hole for sink in a counter top. Turned it helped with about five other projects in the month since I bought it. I have used Makita tools – drills chainsaws sawzall etc for years. Very happy with this one.

A great jigsaw in Makita’s LXT line. I am a hobbiest woodworker and my current project is a retro mid-century record console. My old skill jig saw was on its last legs so I decided to go with this model. Wow! I love this jigsaw. Easy to use and with good blades I am getting great cuts. Kicking myself for not upgrading years ago. Highly recommend this jigsaw.

I have a few other Makita Tools, they all work great. This Jigsaw was perfect for small projects at home.

Like many, good price when “free” with the 5 amp, 2-battery and charger starter kits this Christmas. I was adding system batteries and replacing my old Sears 4-amp orbital saw, for Santa! I RTFM so found the hidden bevel hex key, but, think the Dewalt had a better idea as to using a lever. But… the hex key makes for way cleaner design. First time user using the T-blades, love it, fast and simple. Nice that a few starter blades were included, but slight take away that dust collector, hard case and guide not included with this expensive saw. That hard case is included with cheap starter drills so scratching my head over that decision. All in all the Makita is a big all around improvement over old pot metal, twin set-screw, (now stripped) blade holder on Sears saw.

A must for a small shop!

The saw works excellent. I have several Makita 18 volt tools but this is my first cordless jig saw. So much less trouble not getting a cord to plug an A.C. powered saw in.

I have not tried it as of now but the fact is no cord

Best jig saw I’ve ever had

A nice addition to my Makita set. A little heavier than I expected. The trigger is variable speed which I don’t think I read in the description. They’ve improved the blade release also.

I purchased the saw that came with 39 in. guide rail and purchased additional 55 in guide rail. The saw is super smooth on 55 in. guide rail. But with 39 in. guide rail, the saw’s motor gets hot after 3 cuts (less than 15 in. each cut). I could feel the heat when my hand was holding handle. I really need to PUSH through the 39 in. track. I could feel quiet strong friction/resistance. I cleaned the track and the saw, it didn’t work. Then I switched back to 55 in. track, there was no heat after 10 cuts. VERY SMOOTH. I tried adjusting those knobs,I loose them all the way, the saw felt a bit better, but it swings left and right on the track. I don’t even want to try to connect two rails even if it works. I don’t want to adjust knobs in the middle of cuts between two tracks. Oh, I purchased the connector too. So what should I do, Makita?

The saw has a pretty good run time for being cordless. Works as I expected it would, cuts great, has a plastic attachment for cutting on sure surfaces without marring.

As a trim carpenter I cope my.base trim with jigsaw. This works as good if not better than my corded saw.
