Designed by Makita, the variable 2-speed brushless motor delivers 0-2,300 (Low) and 0-3,000 (High) strokes per minute and a 1-1/4 inch stroke length for faster cutting. The variable speed trigger allows for more precise control.
The “tool-less” blade change system allows for faster blade installation and removal, resulting in increased productivity. Additionally, the rubberized soft grip handle increases comfort while working.
With battery (battery not included), it weighs only 8.2 lbs., which reduces operator fatigue. It also has a reinforced fixed shoe for increased durability.
Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance and is used in conjunction with a refined crank mechanism design to minimize blade deflection and reduce vibration.
When compared to the BL1830, the battery has an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator that allows the user to monitor battery charge. It also provides up to 65 percent more run time per charge.
Only Star Protection tools are compatible with this battery, which is indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery, and it charges to full capacity in 45 minutes or less. Receiver in the context of the too.
