Jigsaw Makita JV001GZ

The Makita JV001GZ cordless jigsaw is a 40V XGT tool designed for precise cutting in wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals. Equipped with a brushless motor and a 26 mm stroke height, this jigsaw balances cutting performance and control while remaining cordless for increased mobility on job sites or at home. The tool’s shape and grip placement support comfortable handling during extended work sessions.

Advantages

The brushless motor improves energy efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed alternatives. A 26 mm blade stroke delivers consistent cutting progress and smoother edges across a range of materials. Cordless operation on the 40V XGT platform provides high power and runtime potential when paired with compatible batteries, while the compact, ergonomic body helps reduce operator fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Freehand and guide-based straight and curved cutting in soft and hardwoods
• Cutting sheet materials such as plywood, MDF and laminate
• Detailed cutting in plastics and acrylics
• Small to medium cuts in non-ferrous metals such as aluminium (with appropriate blades)
• Renovation and on-site carpentry where cordless convenience is required

Key specifications

How to use

Select a blade appropriate for the material and securely fasten it according to the tool’s blade-clamping mechanism. Install a charged 40V XGT battery before operation. Mark the cut line and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Hold the jigsaw with a firm but relaxed grip, align the blade with the cut, and start the tool at low speed to establish the cut line, increasing speed as needed for material and blade type. Guide the saw steadily without forcing; let the blade cut at its designed feed rate. After completing the cut, allow the blade to stop fully before setting the tool down and remove the battery when changing blades or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use blades rated for the specific material and desired finish, maintain a firm clamping of the workpiece, and operate with appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection. For extended or heavy-duty work, use high-capacity XGT batteries to maximize runtime and performance.
