Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18V X2 LXT® (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 7-1/4” Circular Saw (XSH07ZU tool only). The circular saw is powered by two 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance, and has an electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18V X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18V batteries with the XSH07ZU as they use across the expansive Makita 18V LXT® cordless tool system. The XSH07ZU has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. The electronically-controlled brushless motor delivers a full 6,000 RPM for efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change™ technology to adjust the cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The tool can make up to 610 cross-cuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber and up to 320 crosscuts per charge in 2x10 SPF lumber using two fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-5/8” cutting capacity at 90 degrees, and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast magnesium base, blade guard and blade cover, which combines durability with less weight (only 10.5 lbs. with batteries, sold separately). Added features include a built-in dust blower to clean the line-of-cut, and a built-in tether notch (tether sold separately). The XSH07ZU is AWS™ capable when equipped with the Auto-Start Wireless Transmitter (part no. 198901-5, sold separately). AWS™ (Auto-Start Wireless System) 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. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. 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™ Motor delivers 6,000 RPM for maximum performance and 50% longer run time per charge. The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS™) utilizes Bluetooth® technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and optional dust extractor. AWS™ capable with Auto-Start Wireless Transmitter (part no. 198901-5) sold separately. Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cut for optimum performance. X2 LXT® technology delivers up to 610 crosscuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber and up to 320 crosscuts per charge in 2x10 SPF lumber using two 5.0Ah batteries (batteries not included). Large 2-5/8” cutting capacity at 90°. Electric brake for maximum productivity. 0°- 56° bevel capacity with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, and 56°. Die-cast magnesium base, blade guard, and blade cover provide a lightweight, durable design. Compact and ergonomic design at only 13-1/2" long. Weighs only 10.5 lbs. with batteries (batteries not included) for operator comfort. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions. Rubberized soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job. 3-stage L.E.D. Gauge (In.)s indicate battery charge levels. On-board blade wrench for convenience. Flat motor housing design for stability when changing the blade. Built-in dust blower cleans the line of cut for operator accuracy. Built-in tether notch (tether sold separately). Dual L.E.D. lights illuminate the work area. Ideal for framers, builders, roofers, forming, and more. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately). Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately).
