Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18 volt x2 lxt (r) (36 v) lithium-ion brushless 7-1/4 in circular saw kit (xsh06pt). it's powered by two 18 volt lxt (r) lithium-ion batteries for maximum performance and has an electronically-controlled bl (tm) brushless motor that matches torque and rpm to the application. makita 18 volt x2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18 v batteries with the xsh06pt as they use across the expansive makita 18 v lxt (r) cordless tool system. the xsh06pt has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. in internal testing, the xsh06pt made up to 610 cross-cuts per charge in 2x4 spf lumber and up to 320 crosscuts per charge in 2x10 spf lumber using two fully-charged 5 ah batteries. added features include a large 2-5/8 in cutting capacity at 90 deg and an electric brake for maximum productivity. the saw has a die-cast MAGnesium base and blade guard with die-cast MAGnesium base, blade guard and blade cover, which combines durability with less weight (only 10.5 pounds with batteries). added features include a built-in dust blower to clean the line-of-cut and a built-in tether notch. for improved tool performance and extended battery life, makita created star protection computer controls (tm). 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 18 v lxt (r) and compact lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.
