JR3061T recipro saw

Recipro saw Sawing Power tool

The JR3061T is a corded electric reciprocating saw manufactured by Makita.

The machine is powered by 1250 watt brushed motor from an outlet.

At the time of writing in June 2021 no 120 volt version was listed on Makita USA's website. On Makita New Zealand's website a 230 volt version is listed as having a 2 meter long power cord. European shops list it with 4 meter long power cord, but the European Makita sites do not specify the cord length.

The housing of the saw is made out of "Makita teal" colored plastic with black rubberized front and grip.

The machine has a D-hande shape with the power cord permanently attached on the bottom of the grip.

On the sides there are black round covers for the replacable motor brushes.

The machine is activated with a large two finger black variable speed trigger switch. Behind it is a round lock on button to keep the machine running without needing to press the trigger.

Near the front there is a red button to adjust how far the shoe extends forward. The saw blade can be changed without needing any tools.

On the top of the machine there is metal hook that can be folded out to hang the machine on a ladder or scaffolding.

An LED worklight is integrated in the front.
