Makita (XWL01PT) 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 14" Cut-Off Saw - XWL01PT

Makita (XWL01PT) 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 14" Cut-Off Saw - XWL01PT

The Makita 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 14" Cut-off saw is a cordless Metal-Cutting solution ideal for light gauge metals including stud and strut, pipe, All thread, conduit, tubing, rebar, and more. 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 break, 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). it’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. 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.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean after every use: Remove metal dust, sparks, and debris from the blade area, spark guard, base, and air vents using a dry cloth or compressed air.
• Inspect the cutting wheel: Check the 14" abrasive wheel for cracks, excessive wear, or damage before each operation; replace worn wheels promptly.
• Maintain the spark guard: Keep the large spark guard clean and properly positioned to help control cutting debris.
• Check battery condition: Keep both 18V LXT batteries clean, dry, and free of damaged terminals; store batteries away from extreme heat or cold.
• Keep vents clear: Prevent dust buildup around the brushless motor cooling openings to support efficient performance and longer tool life.
• Inspect adjustments: Regularly check the tool-less fence, vise, flange, and locking mechanisms for smooth operation and secure positioning.
• Use proper accessories: Use only compatible 14" cutting wheels and genuine Makita batteries/chargers for safe operation and optimal performance.
• Store safely: Lock the cutting head in the down position and store the saw in a clean, dry location when not in use.
