Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation, and has combined all 3 in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with AWS. It’s powered by two 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum power, speed and run time, 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. Its also equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) for wireless connectivity with an AWS-equipped dust extractor (sold separately). The efficient BL Brushless Motor 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. For improved efficiency, its equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System technology. AWS utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor (sold separately). When the trigger of the AWS-equipped XSL04ZU is engaged, the AWS-equipped dust extractor powers-up. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers-down. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when the tool is running.
- Powered by 2 LXT batteries, X2 LXT technology delivers more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord (batteries not included)
- Makita built electronically controlled BL brushless motor delivers 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother cutting
- Automatic-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 2×4 SPF and up to 192 cuts per charge in 2×12 SPF lumber using two 5.0 Ah batteries (batteries not included)
- 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°-60° left and right, bevels 0°-48° left and right
- Positive miter stops at: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left or right
- Integrated 4-3/4 in. tall 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
- Electric brake for maximum productivity
- Direct drive motor for increased cutting efficiency and reduced maintenance

Good charger for multiple batteries.
Faye Ritchie (verified owner) –
works great. now I don’t have to weight for a battery.
Emanuel Nicolas (verified owner) –
The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.
Clyde Gutkowski (verified owner) –
I purchased this for my son. He loves it. More bang for your buck
Ashlee Grant (verified owner) –
I already had a single charger with the Makita set I bought several years ago. It makes recharging multiple batteries at the same time more cost-effective, without having to stop work.
Easter O’Reilly (verified owner) –
Very fast charger
Orville Will (verified owner) –
Works great. Charges different batteries at different times which works out great. Doesn’t over heat the other battery when charging.
Andre Kassulke (verified owner) –
Works as advertised. Never have problems with it. I have both OEM batteries as well as aftermarket and both get the quick charge I need and expect.
Camryn Welch (verified owner) –
Charges batteries quickly and gives them a full charge.
Lonny Dibbert (verified owner) –
Nice to charge 2 at a time. Also seems quicker than my old charger
Catherine Cole (verified owner) –
Very nice saw. I actually let 2 people use it and they are also buying one.
Joseph Veum (verified owner) –
I have not gotten into any heavy projects yet but it seems to be a great saw. It shipped well, was 90 degrees out of the box and has good fit and finish. Plenty of power.
Xander Daniel (verified owner) –
Charges amazing fast!
Martine Carter (verified owner) –
Easy to use, powers batteries in great time. Excellent equipment…
Darron Koepp (verified owner) –
Charges batteries quick, easy to use, reasonably priced. While working I always have one battery charging and ready to go to work.
Clara Gerlach (verified owner) –
Charger works great, its nice to be able to charge 2 battery’s at the same time
Destinee Casper (verified owner) –
Perfection in charging
Marilie Bergstrom (verified owner) –
Works like it says it would. I have 6 battery’s so it gets used constantly.
Tristin Bayer (verified owner) –
Durable and fast charged battery
