Power Jigsaw Makita 4350FCTJ

The Makita 4350FCTJ power jigsaw combines a high-performance 720 W motor with a variable-speed action to deliver precise, controlled cuts in wood, metal and other materials. It offers a no-load stroke rate up to 2,800 spm and a 26 mm stroke length for efficient material removal, supporting cutting depths up to 135 mm in wood and 20 mm in aluminum. Compact and corded for continuous power, the tool features a die-cast aluminum base with adjustable bevel and integrated LED illumination and dust blower to keep the cut line visible and clean.

Advantages

This jigsaw provides three orbital settings plus a straight cutting mode to adapt the cutting action to different materials and tasks, and an electronic speed control with a dial to precisely match stroke rate to the application. Its soft-start and constant-speed electronics ensure smoother startups and steady cutting under load. The unit reduces vibration and operates with relatively low noise for its class, while the ergonomic rubberized top handle improves comfort during extended use. Tool-less blade changes and an onboard hex wrench for bevel adjustments speed up setup and blade replacement.

Suitable for

• Curved and straight cuts in hardwoods, softwoods and plywood
• Cutting thin aluminum sheets and non-ferrous metal workpieces
• On-site carpentry, furniture trimming and renovation tasks
• Detailed profile cutting and follow-through work where line visibility matters

How to use

Before use, select an appropriate tang-shank blade for the material and ensure the tool is unplugged when fitting the blade using the tool-less change system. Set the orbital setting and speed dial according to the material: lower speeds and straight mode for metals, higher speeds and orbital settings for rapid cutting in wood. Align the cut line using the built-in LED and clear the line with the dust blower as you cut. Use the die-cast base bevel adjustment to set angled cuts and lock the positive stops as needed. Maintain a firm, ergonomic grip on the rubberized top handle and allow the jigsaw to reach speed before engaging the cut to reduce splintering and improve accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye and hearing protection, and secure workpieces to prevent movement. For best results on fine finishes, use blades designed for clean cuts and reduce orbital action; for fast rough cuts in wood, increase orbital setting and speed. Regularly clear dust from the work area and inspect blades for wear, replacing them when cutting performance declines.
