Product Description
DETAILS: This amazing package includes a 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 12-inch Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw capable of AWS, a WST06 Compact Folding Miter Saw Stand, two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Batteries, an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Dual Port Charger, a 12-inch 60T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blade, a Triangular Rule, a Dust Bag, a Vertical Vise, and a Hex Wrench. FEATURES: Powered by two LXT batteries, the X2 LXT technology offers more power, speed, and longer run time without the annoyance of cords. The Makita-built electronically controlled BL brushless motor reaches 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother cuts. The Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication between the tool and an optional dust extractor. The BL brushless motor has no carbon brushes, running cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan. The Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut for optimal performance. With two 5.0Ah batteries, it can make up to 175 cuts per charge in 2x12 SPF lumber. The unique 2-steel rail sliding system design provides single slide-glide operation and a reduced saw footprint for operation flush against a wall. The in-front bevel lock allows for convenient operation. Dual dust collection ports ensure excellent dust extraction performance. It has increased capacity for up to 8-inch crown molding (vertically nested), 6-3/4-inch baseboard (vertical), and 15-inch crosscuts at 90°. It can miter 0 - 60° left and right and bevel 0 - 48° left and right, with positive miter stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left or right. The integrated 5-1/2-inch tall fence system enhances rigidity and precision. The built-in laser clearly shows the line of cut, with an on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise cutting. The linear ball bearing system ensures accurate cuts. The large aluminum base improves material stability for efficient cutting. It has high power for efficient cutting in wood and aluminum extrusion (aluminum blade and cutting lubricant sold separately). SPECIFICATIONS: Power type is cordless, with 2X 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries. The no-load speed is 4,400 RPM, blade diameter is 12 inches, and arbor is 1 inch. The max. cutting capacity at miter 90° is 3-5/8 inches x 15 inches, and at miter 45° (L/R) is 3-5/8 inches x 10-1/2 inches. It's AWS capable (transmitter sold separately), has an electric brake and a laser guide. The stand is included. The net weight (with battery) is 69.1 lbs., and dimensions are 35-1/4 inches x 27-1/4 inches x 28-1/2 inches. Makita, a leader in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation, presents this 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 12-inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit (XSL08PT), with AWS and Laser. It runs on two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power without leaving the 18V LXT platform. The X2 LXT technology boosts power, speed, and run time without cords. The efficient BL Brushless Motor runs cooler, lasts longer, and cuts faster at up to 4,400 RPM. The Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts performance under load. The Auto-Start Wireless System uses Bluetooth for wireless communication with a dust extractor (sold separately), reducing cords and noise. The unique 2-steel rail sliding system offers smooth and accurate cutting and a reduced footprint. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system increase cutting capacity. The saw has easy miter and bevel adjustments, a direct drive gearbox with soft start for smooth operation, a built-in laser, dual dust collection ports, an electric brake, and a large aluminum base. The included 12-inch 60T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blade cuts smoother and faster. It's part of Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion system with fast-charging batteries and Star Protection Computer Controls for tool performance and battery life.
Using the Makita XSL08PT miter saw is quite straightforward. First, assemble the saw and the included stand according to the instructions. Install the batteries into the charger to get them ready for use. Once the batteries are charged, insert them into the saw. To start cutting, turn on the saw using the power switch. Use the built-in laser to line up your cut accurately. You can adjust the miter and bevel angles as needed for different types of cuts. When using the Auto - Start Wireless System (AWS), make sure the optional dust extractor is properly paired with the saw. This will automatically turn the dust extractor on and off as you operate the saw. Here are some important notes. Always wear safety goggles and ear protection when using the saw. Do not touch the blade while it's moving or immediately after it stops. When not in use, keep the saw in a dry and clean place. For maintenance, regularly clean the dust bag and the dust collection ports to ensure good dust extraction. Check the blade for any signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Inspect the batteries for any swelling or other issues. Make sure to charge the batteries correctly following Makita's guidelines to maintain their performance and lifespan. If you encounter any problems with the saw, refer to the user manual or contact Makita's customer service.
