Reciprocating saw Makita JR103DSME, cordless 10.8 V, 4.0 Ah battery x2, 3300 spm, 66×377×186 mm, 78 dB

Makita JR103DSME is a cordless reciprocating saw powered by two 10.8 V, 4.0 Ah batteries. With up to 3300 strokes per minute and compact dimensions of 66 × 377 × 186 mm, this saw is designed for renovation and light construction work where portability and cordless operation are required. The tool is suitable for cutting wood, metal and plastic; measured sound pressure level is 78 dB (uncertainty 3 dB).

Advantages

The cordless design allows work in locations without mains power and reduces trip hazards from power cords. Dual 10.8 V batteries provide a balance of power and runtime while keeping the tool compact and relatively lightweight. Variable speed capability reaching up to 3300 spm helps adapt cutting performance to different materials. Compact overall size improves access in tight spaces and improves handling during demolition and trimming tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting timber and dimensional lumber during renovation and carpentry tasks
• Metal cutting with appropriate bi-metal or metal blades for pipes and profiles
• Plastic and composite material trimming and removal
• Demolition, removal of fixtures and rough cutting in confined spaces

When it may not be suitable

This saw is intended primarily for renovation, maintenance and light construction. It may not be suitable for continuous heavy-duty industrial cutting where higher-power corded reciprocating saws or larger cordless platforms are required. For very high-volume cutting or extremely thick structural steel, a more powerful machine with higher battery voltage and greater stroke force should be considered.

Key specifications

• Power source: cordless, two 10.8 V batteries (4.0 Ah each)
• Maximum strokes per minute: up to 3300 spm
• Dimensions (L×W×H): 377 × 66 × 186 mm
• Sound pressure level: 78 dB (uncertainty ±3 dB)
• Application materials: wood, metal, plastic (with appropriate blades)

How to use

Install a blade appropriate for the material and ensure both batteries are fully charged before use. Secure the workpiece and select a suitable speed; start cutting with a steady forward motion, allowing the saw to do the work without forcing the blade. Maintain a firm grip and observe safety clearances; replace blades when worn. After use, remove batteries before storing the saw and keep blades protected.

What to consider before purchase

• Requirement for cordless operation versus available runtime for your tasks
• Compatibility with blade types for wood, metal and plastic cutting
• Need for higher power or longer continuous operation that may require higher-voltage or corded saws
• Noise level and suitability for use in occupied or noise-restricted environments

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate blade types and speeds for each material, keep batteries charged in rotation for uninterrupted work, and follow standard safety practices including eye protection, hearing protection, and secure clamping of the workpiece.
