    Does this actually have the dust blower? The description says it does but some reviews contradict this.

    Answer This Question

    I think the description referencing a dust blower is a mistake. The user manual and illustrated parts breakdown do not reference a 'dust blower'. There is an optional dust extractor assembly, part number 126331-0, that is used with a vacuum cleaner or dust extraction system. I purchased the optional dust extractor and it works as expected on this jigsaw.

        Will the soft start work when cutting metal
        ByMay 24, 2020

        Answer This Question

        Thank you for your question. The XVJ01Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Barrel Grip Jig Saw, Tool Only automatically reduces the no-load speed to reduce the vibration under no-load. Once the tool gets load, the tool speed reaches the preset speed. See pages 6-7 of the included instruction manual for speed adjustment.

          Where's the trigger? I don't see a trigger in any of the photos. On other models, you can see a trigger.

          You are right .... there is no trigger only the buttons you see in the photo. Unfortunately this makes for awkward operation and I ended up returning my tool and ordered the regular jigsaw that is also brushless.

                      Is there not a way to turn off the soft start function? I use jigsaws to cope trim molding. It is beyond annoying to have the tool start slow then kick into the desired speed in the middle of a cut. This has resulted in several broken pieces of material.

                      Thank you for your question. Makita USA does not recommend making any kind of alteration to our products. Alterations will void the Manufacturer Warranty and may compromise the integrity of the tools performance. The soft start feature cannot be disabled.

                      By|Nov 29, 2018

                        The manufacturers documentation does not cover this.

                        By|Sep 27, 2019

                          It's in the owners manual for all recently manufactured ones. Set the dial to 1 Press the unlock button Scroll the dial to 6, then back to 1 The LED light should be blink twice indicating that soft start has been turned off

                            I hope you don't snap a bit off in the holder. Your device will be trash
                            Bought a few months ago and used it a handful of times. A jigsaw blade broke off and when I tried to pull it out with pliers, the very tip of it was left inside the bit holder. After talking to Makita about how to. Get that piece out. Try and compressed air screwdrivers in every other way I could think of. I eventually had to take it apart. Contact Nikita again to figure out how to get the retaining clip out. It turns out it's the most tiny specialized piece to. beast to be able to get that snap ring out and after wrestling with it for two. full days on separate occasions. I ultimately have to throw this thing in the bin $330 because you cannot service it well enough to get out a snapped bit. What a shame. I cannot believe I'm throwing this thing in the trash, and I feel so frustrated.

                              I returned this after using it only a couple times. The delay in reaching full set speed after turning it on is very frustrating.

                              Feels good in hand
                              After reading the reviews I thought sure I would have issues with the soft start and no variable speed trigger especially since I never used this type of jig saw before , No problem all systems work fine and effortlessly, even the 2 buttons for starting it , no confusion The light comes on as soon as you push the first button how is that confusing , being able to hold the saw closer to your work then the D handle is much nicer plus no plug to deal with ! Spendy yes but worth it for me .
