Description
18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 12″ Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw, AWS™ Capable and Laser, Tool Only
This Makita 36 Volt LXT® 12 Inch dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw with laser, is powered by two X2 LXT® batteries to provide more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord. Miter saw has Makita built electronically controlled BL™ brushless motor to deliver 4400 RPM for rapid and smooth cutting operation. Direct drive motor increases cutting efficiency with minimal maintenance. The Automatic Speed Change™ technology aids to adjust cutting speed as well as torque during cutting. Soft start effectively suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and increased gear life. The X2 LXT® technology efficiently delivers up to 175 cuts per charge in 2×12 SPF lumber using two 5.0 Amp-hour batteries. Miter saw features unique 2-steel rail sliding system to facilitate single slide-glide operation, where as the reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall. The AWS® capable saw is integrated with built-in laser that clearly indicates line-of-cut whether or not blade is turning. The 3-stage LED gauges on the tool aids to indicate battery charge levels for user convenience. Electric brake of tool aids in increasing productivity with convenience. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ technology allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions while in use to safeguard against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. It works well with Makita 18 Volt Lithium-Ion batteries with a Star symbol.
