Makita XSL04PTU 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 10-Inch Dual-Bevel AWS Sliding Compound Miter Saw 5.0Ah Kit

• Powered by two LXT batteries; X2 LXT technology delivers more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord
• Makita built electronically controlled BL Brushless Motor delivers 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother cutting
• Auto-start wireless system (AWS) utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and optional dust extractor
• The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
• Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cut for optimum performance
• X2 LXT technology delivers up to 334 cuts per charge in 2x4 SPF and up to 192 cuts per charge in 2x12 SPF lumber using two 5.0Ah batteries
• Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation; reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall
• In-front bevel lock for convenient operation
• Dual dust collection ports provide excellent dust extraction performance
• Increased capacity for up to 6-5/8" crown molding (vertically nested), 5-1/4" baseboard (vertical), and 12" crosscuts at 90°
• Miters 0-60° left and right; bevels 0-48° left and right
• Positive miter stops at: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left or right
• Integrated 4-3/4" tall fence system for increased rigidity and more precise miter and bevel cuts
• Built-in laser clearly indicates line-of-cut whether or not blade is turning; on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise cutting "left-of-blade" or "right-of-blade"
• Linear ball bearing system engineered to deliver "dead-on" accurate cuts
• Large-sized aluminum base improves stability of material for efficient cutting
• High power provides efficient cutting in wood and aluminum extrusion (aluminum blade and cutting lubricant sold separately)
• Electric brake for maximum productivity
• Direct drive motor for increased cutting efficiency and reduced maintenance
• Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
• Easy one-touch slide lock for convenience
• Simple 90° turn-of-the-knob miter angle lock/unlock mechanism

Makita is a pioneer in Brushless Motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation, and has combined this expertise in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 In. dual bevel sliding compound miter saw. It's powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXT platform. Makita Brushless Motor are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The XSL04PTU has an efficient BL Brushless Motor that delivers up to 4,400 RPM for fast and efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The XSL04PTU is equipped with auto-start wireless system (AWS), which uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication with the AWS-equipped dust extractor (sold separately). AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and reduces noise. The XSL04PTU has a unique 2-steel rail sliding system design that offers single slide-glide operation for smooth and dead-on accurate cutting right out of the box, as well as a reduced overall footprint that allows the saw to be positioned flush against a wall. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (5-1/4 In.) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8 In. nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut a 4 x 12 at 90 degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60° (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0° to 48° (left and right). The direct drive gearbox with soft start is a key point of difference. Direct drive enables smoother start-ups and consistent, constant power with no belts to slip or replace. The electric brake provides added convenience.
