JR3070CT recipro saw
The JR3070CT is a corded electric reciprocating saw manufactured by Makita.
The machine is powered by 1510 watt brushed motor from an outlet. Depending on the region it is sold in the cord has an appropriate power plug and voltage rating for 120 and 230 volt outlets.
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 trigger switch. Behind it is a round lock on button to keep the machine running without needing to press the trigger.
On the top side of the bottom of the handle there is a red speed selection dial for setting the maximum strokes per minute. The number of strokes per minute is electronically controlled so that each stroke has more torque so that machine will keep sawing at a constant speed as more resistance is encountered.
On the side there is a selector where up to three oribital actions can be selected for faster cutting in wood.
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 side there are large letters "AVT" which stands for "Anti Vibration Technology". Inside the machine there is counter weight that moves in opposite direction of the saw to reduce vibrations. According to Makita this halves the amount of vibrations.
