Makita 18V LXT Brushless 7-1/4 In. Circular Saw Kit - XSH06PT
Makita, a pioneer in Brushless Motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 7-1/4 In. circular saw kit (XSH06PT). It's powered by two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance and has an electronically controlled BL Brushless Motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18V X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18V batteries with the XSH06PT as they use across the expansive Makita 18V LXT cordless tool system. The XSH06PT has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. The electronically controlled Brushless Motor delivers a full 6,000 RPM for efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust the cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. In internal testing, the XSH06PT made up to 600 crosscuts per charge in 2 x 4 SPF lumber using two fully charged 5.0 Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-11/16 In. cutting capacity at 90 degrees, and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing, which combines durability with less weight (only 10.4 lbs. with batteries, sold separately). Added features include a built-in dust blower to clean the line-of-cut, and a built-in tether notch (tether sold separately). It’s part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s 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.

Maintenance Tips
-
Clean blades after each use – remove grass, sap, and debris from the 30″ shear blade and housing to prevent buildup and corrosion.
-
Sharpen/inspect blades regularly – check for dull or bent teeth; sharpen or replace worn blades to maintain clean, efficient cuts.
-
Lubricate moving parts – lightly oil blades and pivot points after cleaning to reduce friction and prevent rust.
-
Use reverse function to clear jams – engage the reverse mode to help free stuck clippings and protect the blade mechanism.
-
Protect battery contacts – keep XGT battery and tool terminals clean and dry for consistent power transfer.
-
Charge & store batteries right – always charge before fully drained and keep batteries in a cool, dry place.
-
Check fasteners & handles – tighten loose hardware periodically to counter vibration and maintain tool integrity.
-
Store in dry conditions with blade cover on – prevents moisture damage and extends overall tool life.
