INCLUDES: A 6-1/2" 24T carbide-tipped circular saw blade (A-85092). FEATURES: The advanced BL™ brushless motor ditches carbon brushes, running cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan. It's electronically controlled to optimize battery energy, offering up to 50% more run - time per charge. This smart motor adjusts torque and RPM according to the job's demands. With a compact 13 - 3/4" design and weighing just 7.3 lbs (battery not included), it reduces operator tiredness. It has a large cutting capacity (2 - 1/4" at 90°) and bevel range (0° - 50°). The 3 - stage LED gauge shows battery charge. An electric brake boosts productivity. Dual LED lights brighten the work area. A built - in dust blower clears debris for accurate cuts. The heavy - gauge, precision - machined base ensures smooth, accurate cutting and added durability. A retractable tool hook secures the saw when not in use. The rubberized soft - grip handle enhances comfort. XPT technology offers better dust and water resistance for tough conditions. It comes with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery chip to optimize battery life (battery and charger sold separately). SPECIFICATIONS: Blade Diameter: 6 - 1/2"; Arbor: 5/8"; Max. Cutting Capacity: 2 - 1/4"; Max. Cutting Capacity (at 45°): 1 - 5/8"; Max. Cutting Capacity (at 50°): 1 - 7/16"; No Load Speed: 5,000 RPM; Battery: 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion; Overall Length: 13 - 3/4".

Using this Makita circular saw is a breeze. First, make sure you've got the right blade installed. You've got a 6 - 1/2" 24T carbide - tipped blade included, which is great for a variety of cutting jobs. Connect a fully - charged 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery (sold separately). The 3 - stage LED gauge on the saw will tell you how much charge is left in the battery. When you start cutting, the dual LED lights will light up the work area, and the built - in dust blower will keep the cutting line clear. Adjust the bevel and cutting depth according to your needs. The saw has a large cutting capacity, so you can handle different materials and thicknesses. For safety, always use the electric brake to stop the blade quickly. When you're done, use the retractable tool hook to hang the saw up. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris, especially since it has XPT technology for better dust and water resistance. Check the blade regularly for wear and replace it if needed. Also, make sure to use the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) to charge the battery, as it communicates with the battery's chip to optimize its life. And always follow the Star Protection Computer Controls™ to avoid overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating the saw.
