The Jig Saw is engineered to deliver the power and performance of a corded jig saw but without the hassles of a cord. It is ideal for professional woodworkers, cabinetry makers, specialized residential construction workers and any pro-contractor seeking a best-in-class cordless jig saw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eThe GVJ02 has 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The variable 6-speed control dial (800-3,500 SPM) enables the user to match the speed of the tool to the application. In addition, the efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. And since there are no carbon brushes, the brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"js-page-nav nav-item\" data-scroll=\"features\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-section hide\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand-container js-expand\" data-search=\"li\" data-show=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eOUTPOWER: Up to 20% faster cutting speed*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eOUTSMART: Constant Speed Control provides continuous speed during heavy cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eOUTLAST: Cuts up to 180 FT per charge using one 2.5Ah battery (battery not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eMakita-built brushless motor delivers up to 3,500 SPM for higher blade speed than corded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eLarge 2-finger variable speed trigger for added convenience with lock-on button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eEquipped with 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting delivers more accurate cuts in a variety of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eVariable 6-speed control dial (0-3,500 SPM) enables user to match the speed to the application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003e\"Tool-less\" blade change system allows for faster blade installation and removal for increased productivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eBuilt-in dust blower clears the line of cut for increased accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"104\" data-end=\"306\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"106\" data-end=\"306\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"106\" data-end=\"137\"\u003eFaster, More Powerful Cuts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushless motor paired with XGT tech delivers \u003cstrong data-start=\"184\" data-end=\"218\"\u003eup to 20% faster cutting speed\u003c\/strong\u003e and smooth performance even in heavy workloads. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"307\" data-end=\"496\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"309\" data-end=\"496\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"309\" data-end=\"343\"\u003eConsistent Control Under Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"344\" data-end=\"370\"\u003eConstant Speed Control\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps blade speed steady during tough cuts, reducing stalling and improving accuracy. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"744\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"499\" data-end=\"744\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"499\" data-end=\"538\"\u003eVersatility for Multiple Materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Variable speed (0–3,500 SPM), \u003cstrong data-start=\"569\" data-end=\"609\"\u003e3 orbital settings plus straight cut\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"650\"\u003ebevel‑adjustable base (0–45°)\u003c\/strong\u003e make it great for wood, metal, and complex edge work. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"973\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"973\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"780\"\u003ePro‑Level Precision Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built‑in \u003cstrong data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"805\"\u003edust blower\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances line visibility;
