Makita JR3050T Reciprocating Saw Tear Down After Destruction - What Failed?

This was donated for a tear down after it had stopped working. It had jammed up so it should be interesting to open this up to see how it works and what has failed!

Thanks Chris. I followed your steps exactly. Great help. And I discovered the exact same issue as you did.

Glad it helped. Must be a weakness of the design. A shame because its a good brand too!

with the mechanism looking simple, I now wonder why they have so so many models with different pricing...
