The Makita GSH02Z 40V max XGT® brushless 7 - 1/4” cordless circular saw is a game - changer for high - demand cutting jobs. It offers cordless freedom without sacrificing power. The Makita - built brushless motor spins at 6,000 RPM, enabling fast and efficient cutting. With a large 2 - 3/8” cutting capacity at 90 - degrees, it can cut through 3 times more material in a single pass, making it perfect for framers, builders, roofers, and more. The base of this saw is compatible with optional guide rails, allowing for precise straight or bevel cuts without an adapter. It has a 56 - degree bevel capacity with positive stops at 22.5, 45, and 56 degrees. The electric brake boosts productivity, and the dual L.E.D. lights illuminate the work area. Its die - cast magnesium base and blade guard are both durable and lightweight. The Automatic Torque Drive Technology adjusts the cutting speed under load for optimal performance. The saw is equipped with Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which channels water and dust away from key internal components, ensuring smooth operation in harsh conditions. The Auto - Start Wireless System (AWS®) uses Bluetooth technology to connect the saw with a dust extractor. When the saw starts or stops, the dust extractor automatically powers on or off, increasing productivity on a single charge and reducing noise. XGT is a comprehensive system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers using 40v max lithium - ion batteries. It's engineered to deliver high power, enabling a full transition to a cordless job site. XGT's advanced brushless motor, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability outperform the competition. Included is a 7 - 1/4' 24T C.T. Circular Saw Blade (B - 61656).
Using the Makita GSH02Z circular saw is easy. First, make sure you've inserted a fully - charged 40V max XGT® battery (not included). Then, if you want to use the guide rails, attach them to the compatible base of the saw. This will help you make straight or bevel cuts accurately. You can adjust the bevel angle up to 56 degrees with positive stops at 22.5, 45, and 56 degrees for more precise work. When you start cutting, the electric brake will stop the blade quickly once you release the trigger, which is great for safety and efficiency. The dual L.E.D. lights will light up the work area for better visibility. If you have an AWS - compatible dust extractor, connect it using the Auto - Start Wireless System (AWS®) with the separately - sold transmitter. This way, the dust extractor will turn on and off automatically when you use the saw. As for maintenance, keep the saw clean. After use, wipe it down to remove dust and debris. Check the blade regularly for wear and tear, and replace it when necessary. Store the saw in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. Also, be careful not to overload the saw. The XGT system has digital communication that monitors and protects against overload, over - discharge, and overheating, but it's still best to use the saw within its recommended capacity.
