Makita LS002GZ01 40V Max Li-ion XGT Brushless 216mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw – Batteries and Chargers Not Included

Product Information

The XGT® Rapid Charger’s built-in chip thoroughly communicates during the charging process to control current, voltage, and temperature for more efficient charging Auto-start wireless System (AWS®) utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless on-off communication between the tool and dust extractor For improved efficiency, it is equipped with Auto-start Wireless System technology. AWS® utilizes Bluetooth® technology for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor (sold separately). When the trigger of the AWS-equipped GSL02Z is engaged, the AWS-equipped dust extractor powers-up. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers-down. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when the tool is running. The 40V max XGT® Brushless 8-1/2” Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (GSL02Z, Tool Only) provides 4,800 RPM for faster and smoother cutting. The rail-forward design maximizes workspace when the miter saw is positioned flush against a wall. The miter saw has a large 2-3/4” x 12-1/4” cutting capacity at 90-degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right and bevels from 0° to 48° (left and right). Plus a fan, radios, and LED lights… As we said, Makita plans to debut these new tools with 50 products and plans for a whole lot more. 80V Max (40V Max X2) Cordless Technology

Makita is one of, if not the largest manufacturer of power tools in the world with factories in Brazil, China, Romania, Dubai, Germany, the US, and the UK. The company was founded on 21st March 1915 as Makita Denski Seisakushoby Mosaburo Makita. The company's early days were selling and repairing light fixtures, motors and transformers. In 1935, they began to specialize in electric motors and even began to export them around the world. By 1938, the company had changed its name to Makita Electric Works.One of the main goals Makita has with XGT is providing more power, but without users having to buy big, heavy, slow charging batteries for use on a limited amount of tools. With XGT launching alongside 50 products, I’d say they’re off to a solid start. Makita XGT 2.5Ah 40V Max Makita XGT 4Ah 40V Max Makita XGT 5Ah 40V Max Innovative direct drive motor and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (6-3/4") The efficient brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer tool life. The GSL02Z features Automatic Speed Change™ technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance and a soft start to suppress start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life. Extension wings all for cutting longer materials and retract for easier storage. An electric brake provides maximum productivity. The tool and battery have an innovative built-in communication programme which ensures that their motor technology works together for optimum performance Clint’s career has covered nearly the entire realm of audio and video production. After graduating at the top of his class with an Associates Degree in Recording Engineering, he began working for the famed Soundelux studios in 1994, one of the largest post-production companies specializing in audio for feature films & television. Working on a myriad of feature films, Clint honed his skills as a dialogue editor, foley editor, and sound designer. Years later, he moved into the expanding area of video editing, where he served as the company’s senior AVID video editor for three years.

Working for such clients as Universal Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, Paramount Home Entertainment, NASA, Universal Studios, Planet Hollywood, SEGA, NASCAR, and others, Clint DeBoer dealt extensively with client management as well as film & video editing, color correction, and digital video & MPEG compression. He also carries several THX certifications (Technician I and II, THX Video), and is ISF Level II Certified.Integrated upper and lower 5-1/2" tall fence system offers added rigidity for more precise miter and bevel cuts

In 1958, they introduced their first power tool –a hand-operated electric planer. This proved to be a decisive point in the fortunes of Makita. A few months later, they released a hand-held chaser which began a trend that is still evident today as a specialist manufacturer of power tools. Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS): Bluetooth connection for automatic operation of your Makita Bluetooth dust extractor XGT® Batteries feature rigid rails with impact-resistant construction to secure the battery to the tool during high-demand applications There are currently 100+ 40V MAX tools, and Makita plans to release many more. So you’ll still be able to cover all of your needs exclusively with XGT. OUTSMART: The digital communication within XGT® optimizes performance to provide up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applicationsOUTLAST: The digital communication within XGT® actively monitors and protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating The tool and battery are resistant to both water and dustso they can be used in the harshest conditions Low vibration mechanism. Equipped with anti-vibration housing with built in spring to absorb the vibration from cutting to integrated front and rear handles The MakitaCE001GZ is a powerful and efficient 355mm cut off saw powered by two 40V Max XGT Lithium-Ion batteries (supplied separately). The anti-vibration housing with a built in spring helps to absorb vibration while operating the tool, to increase user comfort over long sessions. Carrying handle is ergonomically positioned to provide a balanced weight distribution for increased comfort while transporting the saw

XGT® Batteries feature rigid rails with impact-resistant construction to secure the battery to the tool during high-demand applications (battery not included) Makita is serious when it comes to their 40v tools, creating a whole new range can be risky but their XGT batteries are designed to be durable and last for as long as you need. No literally when we went to Makita's training they said an average 40V battery would last as long as you needed it to. This holds true when using the batteries for a day of work, and run times vary per tool, but you should always keep a charger handy.There are even the likes of 40V MAX Radios and Torches! It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but many people are hoping for the introduction of an XGT coffee maker down the line. On this system, you are already getting unrivalled power. But Makita just won’t stop there. Because you can also get tools that operate off 2x 40V MAX batteries. This is known as Makita 80V max. Will My 18v Batteries work with Makita 40V XGT?
