The Makita GRJ02Z 40V max XGT® Brushless AVT® Orbital Reciprocating Saw offers a cordless solution for various cutting and demolition tasks. It packs the punch of a 15 AMP corded reciprocating saw, but without the hassle of cords. With Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT®), an internal counterbalance system reduces vibration by up to 50%, and a refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and further cuts down on vibration. The orbital action setting is great for more forceful cuts in wood, and the long 1 - 1/4” stroke length boosts cutting efficiency, enabling faster and deeper cuts. The variable speed dial (0 - 3,000 strokes per minute) allows you to adjust the speed according to the job. Convenient features include an electric brake for high productivity, built - in dual L.E.D. lights with pre - glow and afterglow to light up the workspace, and a retractable hook to keep the tool secure when not in use. For better durability, it has a metal - reinforced gear shaft and self - lubricating slider, along with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for enhanced dust and water resistance. The XGT® system uses 40v max lithium - ion batteries, delivering high power for high - demand jobs and letting you work cordlessly on the job site. It comes with an advanced brushless motor, intelligent digital communication, and excellent durability features. This saw includes a reciprocating saw blade.
Using the Makita GRJ02Z is easy. First, if you haven't already, attach the battery to the tool. Then, select the appropriate speed using the variable speed dial based on the material you're cutting. For wood, you can turn on the orbital feature for more aggressive cuts. When you're ready to start cutting, press the large two - finger variable speed trigger. Remember to keep a firm grip on the saw to ensure safety and accuracy. After you're done cutting, use the electric brake to stop the blade quickly. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to clean the saw regularly, especially after working in dusty or wet conditions. Check the blade for wear and replace it when necessary using the 'tool - less' blade change lever. Also, store the saw in a dry place to prevent damage. When using the XGT® battery, avoid overloading, over - discharging, and overheating it as the digital communication in the XGT® system actively monitors and protects against these issues.
