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 deg to 60 deg left and right, with positive stops at 0 deg, 15 deg, 22.5 deg, 31.6 deg, 45 deg and 60 deg (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0 deg to 48 deg (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.
