Product Details
The Makita-built variable speed motor delivers 0-2,900 strokes per minute with a 1-1/8" stroke length, allowing for faster cutting. Its large 2-finger variable speed trigger enhances convenience, while a retractable tool hook secures the tool when not in use. Designed for comfort, the rubberized soft grip handle and compact ergonomic design—measuring only 19-5/8" in length and weighing just 8.2 lbs with battery (battery not included)—minimize operator fatigue. The ergonomic shape provides a glove-like fit with even pressure and easy control. A "tool-less" blade change system facilitates quicker blade installation and removal, enhancing productivity. Two built-in L.E.D. lights illuminate the work area. Equipped with STAR PROTECTION COMPUTER CONTROLS™, the tool offers protection against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The Rapid Optimum Charger, sold separately, communicates with the battery's built-in chip to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage, and temperature, and includes a built-in fan for faster, more efficient charging. This tool is compatible with Makita® 18V lithium-ion batteries featuring a star symbol (battery sold separately) and comes with a 3-year warranty, with battery and charger sold separately.
