The Makita GSH01M1 is a 40V max XGT brushless cordless 7-1/4-inch circular saw kit. It is a rear-handle saw for framing, roof work, forming and general jobsite cutting. The brushless motor runs at 6,000 RPM, and the saw cuts 3x material in a single pass.
Cut capacity is 2-5/8 inches at 90 degrees, 1-13/16 inches at 45 degrees and 1-5/16 inches at 56 degrees. The bevel range is 0 to 56 degrees, with positive stops at 22.5, 45 and 56 degrees. An electric brake stops the blade faster between cuts. Automatic Torque Drive Technology adjusts speed under load.
The base, blade guard and blade cover are die-cast magnesium. Extreme Protection Technology improves resistance to dust and water, and dual LED lights light the cut line. The saw is AWS capable: with the optional Auto-Start Wireless Transmitter, it uses Bluetooth to turn a compatible dust extractor on and off automatically. XGT tools and batteries use digital communication that monitors load, overheating and over-discharge.
