Product Description
‘XP’ brushless cordless reciprocating saw with vibration reduction system
The '20V Max' SKIL 3480 is a brushless cordless reciprocating saw and part of the SKIL ‘brushless XP’ range. ‘XP’ tools deliver exceptional performance and durability, thanks to their high specifications and advanced digital brushless motors. Like all other SKIL ‘20V Max’ cordless tools, this model is powered by the industry-leading, advanced ‘PWRCORE 20™’ battery and charger technology. Brushless SKIL 3480 is the ideal tool for tough sawing applications, such as demolition cutting, shortening beams and tree trimming. With its large 29 mm stroke length, it has a very high sawing performance and the orbital action switch enables even faster cutting if needed. The advanced double counterweight construction (‘VRS’) makes sure that, despite its high performance, the vibration is very low. The digital brushless motor delivers more power, more efficiency and a 10x longer lifetime than a comparable brushed motor. Good visibility of your work is assured thanks to the LED light. Changing blades has never been easier thanks to the ‘Clic’ system, which doesn’t require any special tools or keys. For your convenience, the design is suited for convenient hanging of the tool. Furthermore, the adjustable foot position allows you to use the blade more efficiently. Last but not least, the softgrip on the tool ensures convenient working. The SKIL ‘PWRJUMP™’ charger automatically charges your ‘PWRCORE 20™’ battery from 0% to 15% in the first 5 minutes, so you can get back to the job in a flash. The ‘PWRASSIST™’ USB adapter enables charging of mobile devices on the go. The SKIL 3480 DB is supplied in a carrying bag with one 4.0Ah ‘KEEPCOOL™’ battery, a very fast 'Auto PWRJUMP™' 6.0A charger, a ‘PWRASSIST™’ USB charging adapter, one saw blade for wood, one saw blade for metal and one saw blade for pruning.
‘PWRCORE 20™’ industry-leading battery technology to power all SKIL '20V Max' tools
The ‘PWRCORE 20™’ system consists of industry-leading advanced battery and charger technology, plus innovative features you won’t find anywhere else, such as our patented ‘KEEPCOOL™’ battery cooling technology which increases the runtime by up to 25% and doubles the battery lifetime. Whereas the patented ‘ACTIVCELL™’ technology safeguards a maximum performance and optimal battery protection. The ‘PWRCORE 20™’ batteries and chargers are 100% compatible and interchangeable with all SKIL ‘PWRCORE 20™’ power tools and garden tools for ultimate flexibility.
