Makita, a leader in brushless motor and battery tech, presents the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Recipro Saw (tool only). Its electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless motor adjusts torque and RPM for the task and runs on the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries (sold separately). You can use the same 18V fast-charging batteries across Makita's 18V LXT® cordless tool range. The XRJ05Z cuts faster with a long 1-1/4” stroke length and a refined crank mechanism that reduces blade deflection and vibration. It has an L.E.D. light, a retractable tool hook, and a 'tool-less' blade change system for quick blade installation and removal. It's part of Makita's large 18V Lithium-Ion series, powered by slide-style batteries with fast charge times. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ safeguard the tool and battery from overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool can also use Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with Star Protection. Key features include a variable 2-speed brushless motor, 'tool-less' blade change, variable speed trigger, compact design, low weight, rubberized grip, reinforced shoe, electric brake, XPT™ for dust and water resistance, and a 3-year limited warranty. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers.




Using your Makita 18V LXT® Brushless Cordless Recipro Saw is easy. First, make sure you have a fully charged 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery (sold separately) and insert it into the saw. Use the variable speed trigger to control the cutting speed according to your task. For quick blade changes, use the 'tool - less' blade change system. When cutting, the L.E.D. light will help you see the cutting line clearly. Remember, this saw has two speed settings: 0 - 2,300 SPM in low and 0 - 3,000 SPM in high. Choose the right speed for your material. When not in use, use the retractable tool hook to hang the saw. For maintenance, keep the saw clean and dry. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) helps with dust and water resistance, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down after use in harsh conditions. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to protect the tool with Star Protection Computer Controls™. If you have any issues, refer to the 3 - year limited warranty.
