The Makita® 36V (18V X2) LXT® brushless 6-1/2 in plunge circular saw kit delivers precise and more accurate cutting when combined with an optional guide rail system. The saw and rail system work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear out. The saw combines a powerful Makita® built brushless motor powered by two 18V LXT® batteries with Automatic Speed Change™ technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut for optimum performance. The saw has a variable speed control dial (2500 to 6300 rpm), with soft start and an electric brake for added convenience. It has a large 2-3/16 in cutting capacity at 90 deg, with a bevel capability of -1 to 48 deg and positive stops at 22.5 and 45 deg. When used with a rail system the plunge circular saw is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications and is ideal for use on the jobsite or in a workshop. It's part of Makita® expanding 18 V lithium-ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18 V lithium-ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita® created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the star protection equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® and compact lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.
