All 12V max CXT cordless tools are also compatible with the 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion 4.0 Ah battery for longer use. The 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion batteries have a protection circuit to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating. It's part of the growing 12V max CXT series, which combines high performance with excellent ergonomics in a small size. Key features include a Makita-built motor for fast cutting at 1,500 RPM, a 3-3/8-inch blade with a 1-inch max cutting depth, adjustable cutting depth from 1 inch at 90° to 5/8 inch at 45°, a tilting base for bevel cuts from 0° - 45°, and the ability to cut various materials. It has a compact 12-3/8-inch length, weighs only 3.5 lbs. with the battery to reduce operator fatigue, a built-in dust blower for accuracy, an ergonomic handle with a rubberized soft grip for comfort, a blade wrench attached for easy blade changing, and a 3-year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger. Note that it's not compatible with 12V max pod-style tools, batteries, and chargers, and only genuine Makita batteries and chargers should be used.
Using the Makita 12V max CXT Li-Ion cordless circular saw is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. You can check the charge level using the LED indicator on the battery. Insert the battery into the saw until it clicks into place. Before starting to cut, adjust the cutting depth according to your needs. You can set it to 1 inch at 90° or 5/8 inch at 45°. If you need to make bevel cuts, tilt the base of the saw to the desired angle between 0° and 45°. Hold the saw firmly with the ergonomic handle and line up the blade with the cutting mark. The built-in dust blower will help keep the cutting line clear for more accurate cuts. When changing the blade, use the attached blade wrench. Always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the saw clean to remove any debris. Keep the battery in a cool, dry place. Make sure to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and safety. If you have any problems, refer to the 3-year limited warranty provided by Makita.
