Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology and miter saw innovation and has combined this expertise in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. It’s powered by2 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries for 36-Volt power and performance, but without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The XSL04PTU has an efficient BL Brushless Motor that delivers up to 4,400 RPM for fast and efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The XSL04PTU is equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS), which uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication with the AWS-equipped dust extractor (sold separately). AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and reduces noise. The XSL04PTU has a unique 2-steel rail sliding system design that offers single slide-glide operation for smooth and dead-on accurate cutting right out of the box, as well as a reduced overall footprint that allows the saw to be positioned flush against a wall. It will also crosscut a 4×12 at 90. The saw miters 0 to 60 left and right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45 and 60 (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0 to 48 (left and right).
- Powered by 2 LXT batteries, X2 LXT technology delivers more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord
- Makita built electronically controlled BL brushless motor delivers 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother cutting
- Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) utilizes bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and optional dust extractor
- BL (brushless motor) eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer-life
- Automatic speed change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cut for optimum performance
- X2 LXT technology delivers up to 334 cuts per charge in 2 SPF x 4 SPF and up to 192 cuts per charge in 2 SPF x 12 SPF lumber using two 5.0 Ah batteries
- Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation, reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall
- In-front bevel lock for convenient operation
- Dual dust collection ports provide excellent dust extraction performance
- Increased capacity for up to 6-5/8 in. crown molding (vertically nested), 5-1/4 in. baseboard (vertical) and 12 in. crosscuts at 90
- Miters 0 left and right to 60 left and right, bevels 0 left and right to 48 left and right
- Positive miter stops at: 0 left and right, 15 left and right, 22.5 left and right, 31.6 left and right, 45 left and right and 60 left or right
- Integrated 4-3/4 in. T fence system for increased rigidity and more precise miter and bevel cuts
- Built-in laser clearly indicates line-of-cut whether or not blade is turning, on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise cutting left-of-blade or right-of-blade
- Linear ball bearing system engineered to deliver dead-on accurate cuts
- Large-sized aluminum base improves stability of material for efficient cutting
- High power provides efficient cutting in wood and aluminum extrusion (aluminum blade and cutting lubricant sold separately)
- Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers

Perfect saw. Great batteries. Very helpful to be able to set up against a wall for tight spaces.
Viola Pfannerstill (verified owner) –
Charges batteries quickly and gives them a full charge.
Harley Gerlach (verified owner) –
The battery so far has meet my expectations
Elton Brakus (verified owner) –
Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.

Great batteries. I Highly recommend all Makita products
Bette Lesch (verified owner) –
They seem to be lasting longer then the 3.0 I have. Not happy with the charging time, it states it’s a quick charger, but takes an hour to recharge the batteries.
Mabelle Collins (verified owner) –
Good drill for price
Herta Christiansen (verified owner) –
After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes.Highly recommend!
Nyah Jast (verified owner) –
Amazing power. Incredibly convenient with the battery power. I picked up an additional set of the 6.0 makita batteries as well and I can run just about the whole day with an late afternoon battery swap. It is the smoothest chop saw I have owned in 18 years of woodworking
Rudolph DuBuque (verified owner) –
This is my husband’s favorite drill. I bought him the 5.0Ah battery and he loves the extended time, not having to stop to charge it is a game changer.
