Jigsaw Makita DJV180Z — cordless 18V, stroke 26 mm, cutting depth wood 135 mm, steel 10 mm, aluminium 20 mm, length 257 mm, weight 2.9 kg

The Makita DJV180Z is a cordless jigsaw designed for versatile cutting tasks in wood and other materials where controlled, angled or curved cuts are required. Powered by an 18V battery, it provides a maximum no-load stroke rate of 2,600 spm and a stroke length of 26 mm while remaining lightweight at approximately 2.8 kg. The top-handle design supports one-handed guidance and comfortable operation, and bevel capability of 45° left and right enables accurate angled cuts. With a maximum cutting depth in wood of 135 mm, this jigsaw is suitable for general carpentry, on-site repair work and workshop use.

Advantages

The jigsaw combines cordless convenience with a high idle stroke rate for steady cutting performance. Its compact, top-handle layout and relatively low weight make it easier to maneuver on vertical and horizontal surfaces. Adjustable bevel angles to 45° on both sides expand its range of applications, and the 26 mm stroke length contributes to efficient material removal. Battery operation removes the constraint of power cords and simplifies use at remote or confined job sites.

Suitable for

• Curved and straight cuts in wood panels, boards and soft materials
• Bevel cutting at 45° for trim, molding and joinery tasks
• Site repairs and installations where portability is required
• Workshop projects requiring controlled plunge and detail cuts

How to use

Before use, fit a proper jigsaw blade for the intended material and ensure the 18V battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Secure the workpiece and, if required, set the bevel angle to the desired position and lock it. Start the tool at a low stroke rate to position the blade and then increase speed as needed for the cut. Guide the jigsaw steadily along the cut line without forcing; allow the blade to do the work. After finishing, turn off the tool, wait for the blade to stop, remove the battery and store the jigsaw safely.

Usage recommendations

Use blades appropriate for wood or the specific material to achieve recommended cutting depth and finish. For longer battery life and consistent performance, use Makita-compatible 18V batteries with adequate capacity and observe standard safety practices such as eye protection, hearing protection and secure clamping of the workpiece.
