Overview

A centrifugal fan and baffle system cools the motor in this Makita corded circular saw, while an electric brake stops the blade after each cut. Twin LEDs light the cut line, and a built-in blower clears dust from it.

Framers, builders and siding contractors get a corded right-blade saw with a brake, lights and an aluminum base for straighter cuts. A blade is not mentioned among the included items, and the warranty runs one year.
