Makita XSH04ZB 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Sub‑Compact Brushless Cordless 6‑1/2” Circular Saw, Tool Only

Makita created a new class in cordless with 18V LXT Sub-Compact tools. Makita Sub-Compact gives users 12V handling with 18V performance, and compatibility with the world’s largest 18V cordless tool system. The Makita XSH04ZB 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Sub‑Compact Brushless Cordless 6‑1/2” Circular Saw, Tool Only is engineered for cutting and ripping applications and is ideal for any contractor seeking a more compact cutting solution for framing, roofing, formwork, and more. The Makita XSH04ZB Sub-Compact 6-1/2” Circular Saw has a compact and ergonomic design at only 10-5/8” and 6.4 lbs. (with 18V LXT Compact 2.0Ah battery, battery, and charger sold separately). The compact size combined with the Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 5,000 RPM and a superior power-to-weight ratio. The saw is equipped with Makita’s Automatic Speed Change™ technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque under load for optimum cutting performance. The efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to provide up to 50% longer run time than non-brushless motors, and in run-time testing, the XSH04 made up to 174 cross-cuts per charge in 2×10 SPF lumber using one 5.0Ah battery (sold separately). For an extended run time, users can load up a high amp-hour 18V LXT battery (all sold separately) including 2.0Ah (BL1820B), 3.0Ah (BL1830B), 4.0Ah (BL1840B), 5.0Ah (BL1850B), or 6.0Ah (BL1860B). Added convenience features include dual L.E.D. lights, electric brake, built-in tether notch (tether sold separately), and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for improved dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions. For improved dust extraction, the rear dust port easily connects to a vacuum system (dust extraction accessories sold separately).
