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.

The DJN161 is powered by a Makita-built motor that delivers 1,900 strokes-per-minute (SPM) for fast and smooth cutting.

The die holder rotates 360° to meet the demands of the cutting direction, with a cutting radius of 45mm (inner edge) and 50mm (outer edge).

When cutting, the metal chips are conveniently disposed below the cutting material, which helps prevent damage to the work surface.

For the benefit of keeping the nibbler safe and extending the operational life of the tool, there is an LED warning light to advise the user if it is being overloaded and a safety feature to stop the motor from starting in the event of the switch being left in the on position while a battery is inserted.
