AboutMakita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, has combined both areas of expertise in the 36V (18V X2) LXTÆ Brushless 7-1/2″ Compound Miter Saw (tool only). It’s powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXTÆ platform. In addition, the efficient BLô Brushless Motor delivers 5,700 RPM for fast cutting, and the exclusive Automatic Speed Changeô technology adjusts cutting speed and torque for optimum performance under load.
This innovative cordless miter saw is an ideal cutting solution for room-to-room applications, making it a ìmust haveî for remodelers, flooring contractors, cabinet installers, case and base installers, and more.Itís part of Makitaís expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the worldís largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 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.For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controlsô. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXTÆ and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

TECHNOLOGY
Tool users who unplug the cord with Makita 18V LXTÆ experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Makita created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the worldís largest 18V cordless tool line-up. Makitaís leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards ñ and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXTÆ technology, Makita 18V LXTÆ tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry’s fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.
Makita cordless tools are engineered for industrial applications, and for added protection during the most demanding jobs Makita created STAR Protection Computer Controlsô. STAR is communications technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work. When you slide a Makita 18V LXTÆ battery with the STAR symbol onto a Makita tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controlsô.
Automatic Speed Changeô is technology that adjusts speed and torque for optimal performance, even in the most demanding applications. During operation, if the tool is put under heavy load, Automatically Speed Changeô detects the added demand and applies more torque and speed to finish the job. Makita cordless tools with Automatic Speed Changeô are engineered to deliver corded performance, without the cord.
