The XVJ02 has been equipped with a Makita built brushless motor delivering 800-3,500 strokes per minute for faster and more efficient cutting. The electronically controlled brushless motor optimizes battery use for up to 50% longer run time per charge.   With the variable speed control dial and the four position cut settings (3 orbital and one straight) enables smooth cutting in a wide range of applications and materials. 
 
Makita-built brushless motor and 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting deliver faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials
Variable 6-speed control dial (800-3,500 SPM) enables user to match the speed to the application
No-load speed reduction feature automatically reduces SPM for more accurate cutting starts
Efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and SPM to the changing demands of the application
"Tool-less" blade change system allows for faster blade installation and removal for increased productivity
