Overview
The Makita XMT04Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless StarlockMax Oscillating Multi-Tool is a cordless multi-tool built for cutting, plunge cutting, and sanding across a wide range of materials. This is an oscillating multi-tool designed for cutting wood flooring, tile, plaster, sheetrock, wood, PVC, and more in remodeling and repair work. Model number XMT04Z. Sold as the tool only; battery and charger are sold separately.
The Makita-built brushless motor drives a variable speed control dial from 10,000 to 20,000 oscillations per minute, so you can slow down for precise plunge cuts or speed up for fast flush cuts. A 3.6 degree oscillation angle is engineered for faster, more aggressive cutting and sanding.
The StarlockMax interface accepts StarlockMax, StarlockPlus, and Starlock accessories, with tool-less blade changes. Because the tool takes all three Starlock tiers, you get the widest selection of compatible accessories in that family.
Anti-Vibration Technology uses an internal counterbalance system for up to 85 percent reduced vibration. Combined with a small-diameter barrel grip and soft start, the XMT04Z stays controlled and comfortable during long cuts.
At 12 inches long, the tool is compact for working in cabinets and between studs. A large on/off slide switch with a lock-on button keeps operation simple, and the built-in LED lights the work area.
Extreme Protection Technology is engineered for improved dust and water resistance, and Star Protection Computer Controls protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The electronically controlled brushless motor uses battery energy efficiently for up to 50 percent longer run time per charge and runs cooler for longer life.
The XMT04Z runs on Makita 18V LXT batteries, part of the world's largest cordless tool system on 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Remodelers, flooring installers, carpenters, and drywall and tile installers who make lots of flush cuts, plunge cuts, and cutouts will put this tool to work every day.

Pro Tip
Start plunge cuts with the speed dial turned down so the blade bites without walking off your line, then dial up once the blade is seated. The variable speed range (10,000 to 20,000 OPM) is there for exactly this.
