User questions & answers

Question:	Does the kit come with a rip guide
Answer:	Extremely dark
Question:	Does this saw come with an led light showing the cut line? someone told me some do and some don’t
Answer:	If you mean the conditioner that comes with the hair color, not that I know of. However L’Oreal does make a weekly product in a tube that is very similar in its richness. All their hair products are very high quality.
Question:	Will it work with 18v compact lithium-ion 2.0 ah battery bl
Answer:	I have used them both for over 30 years. As of 2017, PREFERENCE! For either, you do have to let it sit on your head for longer than the box says if you expect full grey coverage that will last longer than a few days. I currently time mine at 50 minutes.
Question:	Is the battery for this the type that is compatible with other Makita tools such as their drills and impact drivers

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it made in Japan
Answer:	The manufacturer's label clearly states that it is made in China. Most of my Makita tools purchased over the last five years were made in China. While I have seen a number of issues with complex products made in China (primarily reliability issues), I have not seen any such problems with Makita tools. I suspect that Makita rides herd sternly on their Chinese manufacturers.
Question:	What's the difference between this bss610z and the homedepot xss02z
Answer:	Home Depot has nothing to do with it, they just sell it. The XSS023Z is a newer version and is equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating and the BSSA610Z isn't, the XSS02Z is also a little lighter.
Question:	Does anyone know what's the black metal bar that looks like the T in the box is for? It doesn't say anything in the manual
Answer:	By inserting it into the slots in your saw you can cut straight pieces under 10" in width without marking your board. This accessory should be pictured in your owners manual.
Question:	Does it come with a battery and charger, what about the blade? and what kind of warranty
Answer:	I bought mine "bare tool" as I already had the basic starter kit: drill/driver and impact driver which comes with two batteries and the charger. It comes with a 6 1/2" blade (which are readily available at Depot or Lowes) and I think it's got a two year warranty. Used mine all day today cutting pressure treated 2x6's; never missed a beat.

Makita XRJ04Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Recipro Saw, Tool Only

The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Recipro Saw (tool only) combines cutting speed with convenience features for faster, more efficient cutting. It’s powered by the industry’s fastest charging 18V lithium-ion batteries (sold separately), allowing users to remain in one battery platform and use the same fast-charging 18V batteries on the XRJ04Z as they use across the Makita 18V LXT cordless tool line-up.

The XRJ04Z is equipped with efficiency features for faster cutting. The long 1-1/4 inch stroke length increases cutting efficiency, and the refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and reduces vibration. Convenience features include a large two-finger variable speed trigger, electric brake, and 'tool-less' blade change for faster blade installation and removal.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Includes:

Star Protection Technology

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have the large dewalt d2400 tile saw but need something small for smaller cuts on tile. this saw look dry. will it work on time
Answer:	i will assume you mean, "will this saw work with tile?" yes. i bring this saw to all my tile jobs. it cuts without water, and is a must have when doing large tile, 12 x24 and greater. i use the saw for small cuts. outlets, corners, etc. it works well, and should be with every tile job. i would not suggest using it for every cut, you could but that is what the traditional wet saw is for. buy it. it's good to have.... don't be stupid... wear your safely glasses and hearing protection. when your old, feeding the birds is awesome! especially if you can see and hear them!!!
Question:	Can a diablo 5 inch fiber cement blade fit? originally the blades are for circular saws. but will a 5 inch circular saw fit this tool
Answer:	That blade is rated at a max of 12000 rpm's. This saw would put it right up to or above that. Probably better off using that blade on a wood cutting circular saw.
Question:	Can I use with water
Answer:	Yes, but with limits. I keep the tile wet with a spray bottle. Keeping itwet, but not submerged like a wet saw. Hope this helps. I've cut 1 1/4 inch thick granite using this method ....... It works really.
Question:	What is difference between this Makita 4100NHX1 and the Makita 4100NH
Answer:	From Makita's website it look like the 4100NHX1 is only 9.6 amps vs 12 amps for the 4100NH. Kinda makes sense as the 4100NH is a little more expensive.
