Makita40V Max XGT️ 7-1/4 In. Metal Cutting Saw Kit - GSC01M1
The Makita brushless cordless metal cutting saw kit contains a cutting saw, rapid charger, battery and a tool bag. Saw with a cutting capacity of 2-5/8 Inch is operated by a brushless motor that delivers up to 160 cuts per charge in 2-1/2 Inch x 2-1/2 Inch x 4 Inch steel angle. Active feedback sensing technology turns the motor off if it detects any sudden stopping of the tool. This saw can be used on various materials such as pipe, stud, channel, strut, conduit, angle, square tubing, sheet metal and more. Tool can be repositioned easily with an electric brake for optimum productivity. LED light with pre-glow and after-glow feature brightens up the workspace. Rubber grip on the soft handle minimizes fatigue and ensures good user comfort. Trigger switch consists of a two-lock mechanism that requires the user to press a button on the handle with their thumb to initiate the tool. Battery can be loaded in the tool from the side and the compact 13-3/4-Inch-long design makes it easy to use in confined spaces. XPT technology gives good resistance to water and dust in harsh conditions and the on-board hex wrench gives good operator convenience. Integrated overload indicator alerts the user of excessive power load. XGT battery starts the engine immediately and prevents the hassles of pull starts. Batteries have an impact-resistant construction to secure the tool in harsh conditions. Dual fan design of the charger cools down the battery and circuit board to prolong the tool life and the digital display indicates the battery level. Built-in chip of the charger helps in monitoring the current, voltage and temperature for efficient charging. Digital communication features an XGT technology to protect the battery from overheating, over-discharge and over-loading. Multi-layer contact interface produces more power on high current demands.

Maintenance Tips
-
Blade Maintenance: Regularly inspect the cutting blade for wear and damage. Replace the blade if it becomes dull or chipped to ensure precise cutting performance.
-
Keep the Saw Clean: After each use, clean the saw by wiping down the body and cutting area to remove metal shavings and dust. Use compressed air to clear any debris from vents and internal parts.
-
Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the saw’s moving parts, such as the bevel and depth adjustment mechanisms, to ensure smooth operation.
-
Battery Care: Keep the 40V battery charged properly and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid overcharging and discharging the battery fully.
-
Inspect the Motor and Housing: Check the motor and housing for signs of wear or damage. Clean the ventilation areas to prevent overheating and ensure proper airflow.
-
Safety Check: Ensure that the safety features (such as the blade guard and lock-off button) are in working order. Test these features regularly for safe operation.
