Overview
At 28.8 pounds and roughly 26 by 17 by 17.5 inches, the Makita XSL02Z reads more like a benchtop machine than a handheld saw, with a listed 2 inch cutting capacity.
The listed motor power figure exactly matches the listed RPM figure of 5700, which suggests a data entry duplication rather than a true wattage rating, so that number should be confirmed separately from the product page before relying on it.

Who it's for
