The Makita 12-Volt 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 12-Volt 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 LED charge level indicator (batteries sold separately). The VJ06Z has a compact and ergonomic design with less weight (only 4.1 lbs. with 12-Volt 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 LED lights, and a built-in dust blower to clear the line of cut.
