The Makita DLW140Z 36V (Twin 18V) LXT Brushless 355mm Cut-Off Saw brings convenience to the jobsite with its ability to go mobile, making it perfect for applications such as cutting metal stud for non load bearing walls or for docking posts in a colorbond fence. Powered by two 18V LXT batteries, this cut-off saw has the ability to replicate the same power as one that is mains powered. At the heart of this cut off is a brushless motor that allows you to use the machine efficiently. As part of the design, the tool utilizes every bit of battery power when you need, all while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance. The technology in creating a brushless motor system allows for perfect symmetry between battery power and usage ensuring you get all the power you need, when you need it. The saw includes a load status indicator. As the load on the motor increases, the number of illuminated LED’s increases. When the motor is operated with excessive load, all LEDs on the load status indicator will blink. The Cut-Off Saw also incorporates a large spark guard to protect against any shards, an electric brake for quick and smooth powered stopping, soft start and a pin lock device. The cut-off wheels are changed without the need for any additional tools and the guide plate can also be adjusted in the same way.
