Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the Makita 18Vx2 36V Rear Handle Circular Power Saw Kit. The circular power saw kit 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. This power saw kit also features Makita 18V X2, meaning freedom from the cord even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw.

• Powered by 2 LXT batteries; X2 LXT technology delivers more power, speed and run time without hassles of a cord
• Makita built electronically controlled BL motor delivers 5,100 RPM for maximum performance and 50% longer run time per charge
• BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes so it runs 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 558 cross-cuts per charge in 2 x 4 SPF lumber and up to 291 cross-cuts per charge in 2 x 10 SPF lumber using the (2) 5.0Ah batteries
• Large 2-9/16 cutting capacity at 90; cuts 3X material in a single pass
• Electric brake for maximum productivity
• 0 to 53 bevel capacity with positive stops at 22.5, 45, and 53
• Die-cast magnesium base and blade guard along with die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing provide lightweight and durable design
• Compact and ergonomic design at only 17-1/2 in. long
