Makita has added the HS012G 40Vmax XGT Brushless Circular Saw to its cordless circular range.
The lightweight and powerful tool is the latest addition to the Makita XGT range, it can achieve a maximum output of 1300 watts and has a no load speed of 5,200 rpm.
Kevin Brannigan, marketing manager at Makita UK, said: “The 165mm circular saws have always been a popular part of our cordless range. The launch of the HS012G provides professionals with a versatile, compact and lightweight 165mm saw but with the performance customers expect from our brushless 40vMax XGT machines.”
The new saw features twin LED job lights with pre-glow and afterglow functions for better illumination of the work piece. It also includes an electric break to quickly slow the blade and an anti-restart function to prevent accidental start up.
The saw also includes an automatic dust extractor that runs when the tool is activated.
