• Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cut for optimum performance
• Variable speed control dial (2,500 - 6,300 RPM) for optimum performance in a variety of materials
• Close to the wall cutting (11/16") for expanded cutting applications
• Large cutting capacity (2-3/16" at 90º; and 1-9/16" at 45º)
• Bevel capability (-1º to 48º) with positive stops at 22.5º and 45º
• Electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smooth cutting
• Soft start feature for smooth start-ups
• Easy-to-set depth adjustment with large scale
• Smooth and convenient plunge release lever for operator comfort
• Dual front and rear bevel supports provide additional rigidity for precise and accurate bevel cuts
• On-board hex wrench for fast and easy blade changes
• Locking lever holds the blade in position so that the wrench can be inserted through the hole in the blade case for easier blade installation
• Built-in depth stop allows a preliminary first cut of (5/64") 2mm to (7/64") 3mm to be performed prior to cutting through the entire material for clean and splinter-free cutting
• Rubberized soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job
• Large 1-7/16" rear dust port directs material away from the operator and easily connects to a vacuum system
• Includes a premium 55 tooth ultra thin kerf carbide tipped saw blade (B-57071) ideal for cordless circular saws offering up to 66% more cuts per charge compared to our standard corded plunge saw blade (B-07353)
• Optional guide rail system interacts with the saw base to provide smooth, perfect, dead-on straight or bevel cutting
• Slide lever on saw base designed to engage the optional guide rail (sold separately) when bevel cutting for stability
• Electric brake for maximum productivity
• Compact and ergonomic design at 13-5/8" long; weighs only 11.2 lbs. with batteries for reduced operator fatigue
• Precise straight and 45º bevel cuts as the position of the blade enters the material on the same sight line when using a guide rail
• 3-stage L.E.D. gauges indicate battery charge levels
• Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating
• Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger charges two batteries at the same time
• The Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the batteries built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature
• For more efficient charging, the Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger has built-in fans to cool the batteries faster
• Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger
• Two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries deliver the power and performance of a corded plunge circular saw* without leaving the 18V LXT platform
