The Makita 12V 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, remodeler, and general contractors. Makita 12V 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 L.E.D. charge level indicator (batteries sold separately). The VJ06Z has a compact and ergonomic design with less weight (only 4.1 lbs. with 12V max CXT 2.0 Ah 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 L.E.D. lights, and a built-in dust blower to clear the line of cut. For longer run time, all 12V max CXT cordless tools are also compatible with the 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion 4.0 Ah battery (BL1041B, sold separately). 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion batteries are engineered with a battery protection circuit that protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. It’s part of the expanding 12V max CXT series, combining performance with superior ergonomics in a compact size.
