The slow start is pathetic. I personally hate this jigsaw. It was a total waist of money. I’ve gone back to my 240 v Milwaukee. The slow start runs for about 20 to 30 seconds, I think it’s faulty. Would I recommend it. No way. Makita needs to sort this problem out. I cut plastic with this jigsaw and the slow run had caused me problems. It runs for about 20 to 30 seconds at about speed 1 then goes to full speed without any warning. Rubbish

Great power, compact and easy to manoeuvre. I thought I will find it's functions awkward but it wasn't the case. Nice that you can deactivate it's function and use it as normal one. I think it would of been the perfect jigsaw if the speed control would have been incorporated in the main start button. But it a great tool as is. For sure happy with the purchase.
