The Makita XWL01 18V X2 LXT (36V) brushless 14" cut-off saw is a cordless metal-cutting solution. The BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes so it runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The saw is powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum cordless performance, and delivers 3,800 RPM for the most demanding metal cutting applications. It will cut up to 5" round and 4" x 7-5/8" rectangular tubing. It also features a "tool-less" fence and vise controls for increased productivity, and a large spark guard engineered to capture and deflect debris away from the surrounding area. Additional features include an electric brake, a large ergonomic handle and two-stage lock-off power button. The kit comes complete with 14" cut-off saw (XWL01Z), two 18V LXT lithium-ion 5.0Ah batteries (BL1850B), an 18V LXT lithium-ion dual port charger (DC18RD), and 14" x 1" x 3/32" abrasive cut-off Wheel (B-64705). For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star protection is communication technology that allows the star protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.
