Notes: As a bare unit, this saw does not include battery or charger — ideal for users already invested in the Makita 18 V LXT platform.
The tool’s variable speed trigger and electric brake allow nice control and clean stops.
Its durability is enhanced with XPT sealing, making it more reliable under dusty or damp jobsite conditions.
The compact length helps access tighter spaces, while the 32 mm stroke ensures good cutting aggression.
Use appropriate blades for each material (wood, metal, composite), and keep the shoe firmly stabilized for cleaner cuts.
