Jigsaw Makita M JV002GZ 40V XGT brushless cordless — jigsaw tool

The Makita M JV002GZ 40V XGT brushless cordless jigsaw is a portable cutting tool designed for precise curved and straight cuts in wood, metal and plastic. Powered by a 40V XGT brushless motor, it provides cordless mobility while maintaining consistent cutting performance. The tool integrates variable speed control, selectable orbital action and a tool-less blade change system to adapt to different materials and cutting styles for professional woodworking, renovation and on-site tasks.

Advantages

This jigsaw delivers sustained power and efficiency thanks to its brushless motor and 40V XGT platform, reducing maintenance and improving runtime under load. Variable speed control and multiple orbital settings allow fine adjustment for clean cuts or faster material removal. The tool-less blade change mechanism minimizes downtime and simplifies blade swaps, while a compact, balanced design enhances control and reduces user fatigue during extended use. Built-in features support accurate cutting lines and compatibility with common jigsaw blades for versatile application.

Suitable for

• Curved and straight cuts in soft and hard woods
• Cutting sheet metal and thin steel panels with appropriate blades
• Cutting plastics, laminates and composite materials
• On-site renovation and construction tasks where cordless mobility is required
• Professional woodworking and cabinetmaking operations requiring portability

Key specifications

• Power system: 40V XGT brushless motor for cordless operation
• Speed control: variable speed for precise cutting adjustment
• Stroke and orbital action: multi-level orbital settings for aggressive or fine cuts
• Blade change: tool-less blade change system for quick replacement
• Cutting compatibility: suitable for wood, metal and plastics with correct blade selection
• Ergonomics: compact, balanced body for improved handling and reduced fatigue

How to use

Install a blade appropriate for the material and ensure it is securely engaged in the tool-less blade holder. Select the orbital action setting and adjust the variable speed to match the material and desired cut quality. Position the shoe against the workpiece and start the tool, allowing the speed to increase before guiding the jigsaw along the cut line with steady, controlled movement. Apply light forward pressure and let the blade do the cutting; avoid forcing the tool to prevent overheating or blade damage. After cutting, release the trigger and wait for the blade to stop completely before setting the tool down.

Recommendations

Use blades designed for the target material (wood, metal, or plastic) and check blade condition regularly. For precise finish cuts, use lower speeds and finer-tooth blades; for faster removal, increase orbital action and speed. Follow standard safety practices: wear eye and hearing protection, secure the workpiece, and use appropriate dust extraction or ventilation when cutting materials that generate fine dust or fumes.
