The kit includes an 18V X2 LXT (36V) brushless 6 - 1/2" plunge circular saw (XPS01Z), two 18V LXT lithium - ion 5.0Ah batteries (BL1850B), an 18V LXT lithium - ion dual - port charger (DC18RD), a 6 - 1/2" 55T C.T. cordless plunge saw blade suitable for wood, MDF, and laminate (B - 57071), a hex wrench (783203 - 8), an extra - large interlocking case (197213 - 3), and a medium interlocking case (197211 - 7). Powered by two LXT batteries, the X2 LXT technology offers more power, speed, and longer run - time without the cord hassle. The electronically - controlled BL brushless motor by Makita runs at 6,300 RPM, giving you top - notch performance and 50% more run - time per charge. With automatic speed change technology, it adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut for optimal results. The variable speed control dial (2,500 - 6,300 RPM) helps you get the best performance on different materials. It can cut close to the wall (11/16"), perfect for tight spaces. It has a large cutting capacity (2 - 3/16" at 90° and 1 - 9/16" at 45°) and a bevel capability from - 1° to 48° with stops at 22.5° and 45°. Electronic speed control keeps a steady speed under load for smooth cuts. The soft - start feature makes startups seamless. Depth adjustment is easy with a large scale. The plunge release lever is smooth and comfortable to use. Dual bevel supports add rigidity for accurate bevel cuts. There's an on - board hex wrench for quick blade changes. The locking lever holds the blade in place for easy installation. A built - in depth stop allows for a preliminary cut for clean, splinter - free results. The rubberized handle offers great comfort. The large 1 - 7/16" rear dust port directs debris away and connects easily to a vacuum. When paired with an optional guide rail system (sold separately), it provides precise and accurate cuts with minimal tear - out, making it a portable alternative to a table saw for certain applications, ideal for job sites and workshops.
Using your Makita plunge circular saw kit is straightforward. First, charge the two 18V LXT lithium - ion batteries using the dual - port charger. Once charged, insert them into the saw. Adjust the cutting depth according to your needs using the easy - to - set depth adjustment with the large scale. You can also set the bevel angle between - 1° and 48°, with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. Use the variable speed control dial to set the appropriate speed for the material you're cutting. When starting the saw, the soft - start feature will give you a smooth start. To change the blade, use the on - board hex wrench and the locking lever to hold the blade in position. For clean and splinter - free cuts, use the built - in depth stop for a preliminary cut. When using the saw, always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. Keep the work area clean and well - lit. After use, disconnect the batteries. To maintain your saw, regularly clean the dust from the motor and the blade. Check the blade for wear and replace it when necessary. Store the saw in the interlocking cases provided to protect it from damage.
