Makita (XSL04ZU) 18V LXT Brushless 10" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw, AWS, laser (Bare Tool)

Makita is a pioneer in Brushless Motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation, and has combined all three in the 18V X2 LXT® (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 In. dual bevel sliding compound miter saw with AWS™. It's powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum power, speed and run time, but without leaving the 18V LXT® platform. Makita Brushless Motor are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. It’s 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, it’s 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. The XSL04ZU has a unique 2-steel rail sliding system design that offers single slide-glide operation for smooth and dead-on accurate cutting right out of the box, as well as a reduced overall footprint that allows the saw to be positioned flush against a wall. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (5-1/4 In.) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8 In. nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut a 4 x 12 at 90 degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60° (left or right).
