• Soft no-load mode for accurate starts
• LED work light to illuminate the cutting area

Efficiency and durability for demanding jobs

The brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use, helping extend run time per charge compared with typical non-brushless tools. Fewer carbon brushes reduce heat buildup, supporting longer tool life under load. This model is designed to work with Makita 18V LXT batteries, part of the world’s largest cordless tool system, which helps keep job sites moving.

• Brushless motor for efficient energy use and longer runtime
• Cooler operation reduces wear during extended use
• Compatibility with Makita 18V LXT batteries for quick swaps

Ease of use on the jobsite

Designed for fast, practical workflows, the XVJ04Z features a tool-less blade change system for quick blade swaps, a large two-finger variable speed trigger with a lock-on option, and dual LED lights to keep the cut line visible. The base bevels from 0° to 45° left or right for precise bevel cuts, all while keeping weight manageable at about 5.5 lb with a battery installed.

• Tool-less blade changes for quick blade swaps
• Large two-finger trigger with lock-on for comfort
• Dual LED lights for improved visibility
• Bevel range 0°–45° for accurate angled cuts
