Description
Makita is the innovation leader in brushless motor technology and the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw (model XSH03Z, tool only, battery and charger sold separately) combines power and run-time for faster cutting and ripping without the cord. The XSH03Z is equipped with Automatic Speed Change Technology, which adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance. The Makita BL brushless motor is engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The XSH03Z features Extreme Protection Technology, engineered for increased dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt 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.

This is the perfect circular saw for me. Not too heavy, easy to use, and seems well made. I would definitely recommend it.
Faustino Turcotte (verified owner) –
Very very good tool. Was the perfect Christmas gift.
Mya Pfannerstill (verified owner) –
This was a gift for our son. He is overjoyed to have a well working tool to work with. He is replacing a deck and his old saw was hard to work with. Thank you. Please continue to carry Makita tools. He needs more replaced with quality and long lasting, dependability.

I use my tools professionally as a carpenter and this saw doesn’t disappoint. I do pull out the corded if I’m cutting a pile of rafters or the like, however, for day to day use this is first out of the truck. I’ve got probably 100 hours of runtime all together on this saw and it runs as new. I would recommend 5ah Batts though and you can run about half a day in real working environments. On a brand new blade you can go a whole day.The power up computer feature that maintains constant power through the cut is excellent, outran my coworkers who HD dewalts which died in 30 mins where this would run 4 to 5 hours. Spend the money now instead of buying this when your disappointed with something of lesser capability and need to upgrade early

I have used Makita cordless tools for the last 13 years. This is another well made saw. It is light yet powerful. As a contractor i use these every day. They last for years.
Lucile Nicolas (verified owner) –
This Makita saw has performed very well. It is great to have a saw I can take out along my fence line and cut posts with, no cords or generators needed. This saw in combination with the Makita drills has been a much need addition to my tools.

Saw (6.5″ cordless) is quite light even with 5Ah battery. Magnesium base is even lighter than aluminum, blade guard is magnesium as well, not plastic like some other models. Supplied 24 T carbide Blade is excellent, makes clean smooth cuts even in in wet deck lumber. Cutting visibility is very good, LED light is an added bonus. Saw glides nicely along any cutting guide, I used a 10ft 3/4″ board for one of my deck wood (1.5″) cuts and it easily cleared the motor housing. This was a problem with my old compact Skil Saw. So far saw has not stalled or hung up once. Battery life seems to be good, will need more time to properly test. An interesting feature are the two edge guide slots, one in front and one in back this allows the use of an optional edge guide. Some minor complaints: For the relatively high price it should include the edge guide, it’s optional and hard to find. With this blade left design saw dust is ejected towards the operator when holding the saw in the right hand. The dust is directed slightly backwards down towards the ground but never the less my legs were covered with saw dust! In fairness an optional vacuum hose attachment is available. Saw came as a kit : Saw, (2) 5 Ah batteries, charger and very nice bag. Overall great compact saw, I choose this product after looking at 15 other products. High build quality. This saw was not in stock at Home Depot but I ordered on Tues and received it on Wed, excellent. No shipping charge!!

Great purchase. It is lightweight; has plenty of power for home projects; feels safe with grip, guards and electric stop; feels and looks quality; depth and bevel adjustments are quick and easy, the track guide fittings will be useful; makes a lot of cuts on a single charge. I pondered awhile on whether to get Ryobi tools but they never had the tools I wanted in stock, and whether to get a 7-1/2″ saw but I am very satisfied after several first uses.

Really good saw. Cuts it so smooth and fast.I really like it.
