The 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Rear Handle 7¼-inch Circular Saw model XSR01 is a cordless saw powered by two 18V lithium-ion batteries, so users get maximum power and run-time without the cord – and without leaving the versatile 18V battery platform. The tool is part of the company’s expanding 18V LXT system, which offers 150+ tools and is the world’s largest tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT® batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
The “New Original” combines 18V X2 technology with an efficient brushless motor for maximum performance and true freedom from the cord. In run-time testing, the XSR01 made 558 cuts in 2x4 SPF lumber on a single charge using two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, and 291 cross cuts in a 2x10 SPF lumber on a single charge (5.0Ah batteries). The saw is equipped with Automatic Speed Change technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque while cutting for optimum performance. Additional features include a full 2 9/16-inch cutting capacity, which is enough to cut the increasingly used 3x lumber in a single pass.
