Powered by the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries (sold separately), it allows you to stay within one battery platform. You can use the same fast-charging 18V batteries on the XRJ04Z as in the entire Makita 18V LXT® cordless tool lineup. The XRJ04Z is designed for efficiency. Its long 1-1/4” stroke length boosts cutting efficiency, and the refined crank mechanism reduces blade deflection and vibration.

Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries charge quickly, so they spend more time working and less on the charger. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life. This communication technology enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery, protecting against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool can also run on Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol, indicating Star Protection inside. Features include a Makita-built variable speed motor delivering 0 - 2,800 strokes per minute, a 'tool-less' blade change system, a variable speed trigger, a compact and ergonomic design, a rubberized soft grip handle, and more. It has Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance. With a 3-year limited warranty, it's a reliable choice. Just use genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Reciprocating Saw is easy. First, make sure you have a fully charged 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery (sold separately). Insert the battery into the tool. To start cutting, hold the saw firmly with the rubberized soft grip handle. Use the large two-finger variable speed trigger to control the cutting speed according to your needs. For blade changes, use the 'tool-less' blade change system for quick and easy installation or removal of the blade. When you're done cutting, release the trigger, and the electric brake will stop the blade quickly. As for maintenance, keep the saw clean and dry. After using it in harsh conditions, wipe it down to remove dust and debris. Check the blade regularly for wear and replace it when needed. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The saw comes with a 3-year limited warranty, but proper use and maintenance will keep it in good shape for a long time.
