The Makita JR3000V reciprocating saw has had a large number of
service changes over the years. Due to these service changes we are
unable to offer Fig #2, Fig #22, Fig #32, Fig #53, and Fig #73. If you need these
particular parts, we recommend that you visit your local power tool repair
shop for assistance. In many cases, replacement of these parts
requires replacement of other components within the tool. We are happy
to provide all other listed parts for the JR3000V.

This type of switch you will want to strip the insulation back about 1/4". Then with a soldering iron and solder, tin the exposed wires making them a solid wire rather than strands. Then insert the tinned wires into the appropriate hole on the bottom of the switch and tighten the corresponding set screw.
We chose to remove the part from this page because listing the part ended up being more of an inconvenience for our customers than not listing it at all. In short, it is extremely complicated to determine which specific part is actually needed.
There are so many different versions of the #32 blade clamp that people ordering it almost always end up with the wrong version through no fault of their own. The JR3000V has gone through so many service changes that replacing some parts often involves replacing several other parts as well, complicating the issue further.
The documentation on the service changes regarding this part is complicated, and people may still end up with the wrong part, even after reading it.
We recommend taking the reciprocating saw to a service center for repairs. We also have a forum thread with additional information on this part if you choose to track down and repair the part yourself; however, it still may be best to try a service center. That thread can be found here:
The diagram for this 115V reciprocating saw shows two available switches--a black switch (for $21.95) and a red variable speed switch ($31.95). The trigger in my saw is black, while the switch inside the handle is white, but it varies the saw speed according to how far I depressed the trigger.
So I guess my question is, "Variable speed means I can run and lock any speed from 0 - 2300 SPM, like the switch I have in the saw that I need to replace, right?" I think I know the answer is yes, but I'm wondering because I use the variable speed feature a lot to finesse cuts through nails in wood in tight places, and would be stopping to straighten or change out a lot more bent blades if my saw ran at top speed the instant I hit the trigger.
I guess I have a second question: What sort of work do people use a one-speed reciprocating saw to do?
My dad gave me the saw and I was told it would not power on. He said the brushes had been replaced but nothing else had been worked on. The cord tested positive to power at the switch. Would anyone know what the problem could be. Thanks....

I just bought a variable speed switch for this saw but it is wired different from current switch. Need help with where the four wires go. Two form the power cord and two going to the motor....

I have a Makita JR3000V that is about 8 years old. It has been a great saw, but the little piece that holds in the blade is broken. When I look on your site for a replacement, I see that it is item number 32. There is no 32 in the list of parts.
