Makita is a leading innovator in brushless motor technology, and their 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw (model XSH03Z) offers a powerful and efficient cutting experience without the need for a cord. Please note that this is the tool only, and the battery and charger are sold separately. The XSH03Z is equipped with Automatic Speed Change Technology, which adjusts the cutting speed and torque during operation to ensure optimal performance. The Makita BL brushless motor is designed to provide longer run time, increased power and speed, and a longer tool life. Additionally, the XSH03Z features Extreme Protection Technology, which enhances its resistance to dust and water, making it suitable for use in harsh job site conditions. This circular saw is part of Makita's expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, which is the largest cordless tool lineup in the world powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries are known for their fast charge times, allowing you to spend more time working and less time waiting for the battery to charge. To further enhance tool performance and extend battery life, Makita has incorporated Star Protection Computer Controls. This communication technology enables the tool and battery to exchange data in real time, monitoring conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The BL motor of the XSH03Z delivers an impressive 5,000 RPM for faster cutting and ripping. Its brushless design eliminates carbon brushes, resulting in a cooler and more efficient motor that lasts longer. The electronically controlled BL brushless motor optimizes battery energy use, providing up to 50% longer run time per charge. It adjusts torque and RPM to match the changing demands of the application, ensuring efficient energy consumption. With a compact and ergonomic design, this circular saw measures only 13-3/4 inches in length and weighs just 7.3 lbs. (battery not included), reducing operator fatigue. The
