Product Description
Makita, a leader in brushless motor engineering, battery tech, and miter saw innovation, presents the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10-Inch dual bevel sliding compound miter saw. This tool runs on two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries, offering 36V power without leaving the 18V LXT platform. The brushless motor lasts up to 50% longer, has more power and speed, and a longer lifespan. It reaches up to 4,400 RPM for fast cutting, with auto speed change for optimal performance. The unique 2-steel rail sliding system allows smooth, accurate cutting right away and a smaller footprint, letting you place it against a wall. The direct-drive gearbox and guard system boost vertical and crown molding cutting capacity, the largest in its class. It can crosscut a 4 x 12 at 90 degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right, with positive stops at key angles, and bevels 0° to 48° left and right. The front bevel lock makes adjustments easy. The direct drive with soft start ensures smooth starts and consistent power. The electric brake adds convenience. Other features include a 60T carbide-tipped blade, a built-in laser for the cutting line, and better dust collection with a bag or vacuum.
Using this Makita miter saw is straightforward. First, make sure to insert two fully - charged 18V LXT Lithium - Ion batteries. Then, adjust the miter and bevel angles according to your cutting needs. You can use the positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° for mitering and set the bevel from 0° to 48° easily with the front - located bevel lock. When you start the saw, the soft - start feature will give a smooth start. Use the built - in laser to guide your cutting line. After use, it's important to clean the saw regularly. Empty the dust bag frequently to maintain good dust collection. Check the blade for any signs of wear or damage. If the blade is dull, replace it with a suitable one. Store the saw in a dry place to prevent rust and other damage. And always keep the batteries in a proper charging state when not in use.
