Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation, and has combined all 3 in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with AWS. It’s powered by two 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum power, speed and run time, but without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. Its also equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) for wireless connectivity with an AWS-equipped dust extractor (sold separately). The efficient BL Brushless Motor delivers up to 4,400 RPM for fast and efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. For improved efficiency, its equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System technology. AWS utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor (sold separately). When the trigger of the AWS-equipped XSL04ZU is engaged, the AWS-equipped dust extractor powers-up. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers-down. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when the tool is running.
- Powered by 2 LXT batteries, X2 LXT technology delivers more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord (batteries not included)
- Makita built electronically controlled BL brushless motor delivers 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother cutting
- Automatic-start Wireless System (AWS) utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and optional dust extractor
- BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
- Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cut for optimum performance
- X2 LXT technology delivers up to 334 cuts per charge in 2×4 SPF and up to 192 cuts per charge in 2×12 SPF lumber using two 5.0 Ah batteries (batteries not included)
- Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation, reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall
- In-front bevel lock for convenient operation
- Dual dust collection ports provide excellent dust extraction performance
- Increased capacity for up to 6-5/8 in. crown molding (vertically nested), 5-1/4 in. baseboard (vertical), and 12 in. crosscuts at 90°
- Miters 0°-60° left and right, bevels 0°-48° left and right
- Positive miter stops at: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left or right
- Integrated 4-3/4 in. tall fence system for increased rigidity and more precise miter and bevel cuts
- Built-in laser clearly indicates line-of-cut whether or not blade is turning, on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise cutting left-of-blade or right-of-blade
- Linear ball bearing system engineered to deliver dead-on accurate cuts
- Large-sized aluminum base improves stability of material for efficient cutting
- Electric brake for maximum productivity
- Direct drive motor for increased cutting efficiency and reduced maintenance
