Cordless circular saw 270 mm XGT 40Vmax, BLDC, XPT, AFT, AWS, 5.0 Ah HS011GT201

Power and Precision in One Tool

A cordless circular saw with a 270 mm blade diameter is a device designed for demanding carpentry and construction tasks. Powered by the XGT® 40V max system, it delivers performance comparable to corded tools, enabling cutting of thick wooden profiles, chipboards, or composite materials without the need for constant extension cord connections. Thanks to the brushless motor (BLDC), the tool not only generates higher power with lower energy consumption but also significantly extends runtime on a single battery charge. This is crucial for installation teams working on-site where access to electricity may be limited.

Work Comfort and Advanced Safety Systems

The built-in AWS (Automatic Wireless System) technology automatically starts a construction vacuum cleaner when the saw is switched on, eliminating the need for manual control of additional equipment and ensuring cleanliness in the cutting zone. The newly designed dust extraction port has been engineered so that it does not hinder grip or visibility of the cutting line even with the suction hose attached – a significant ergonomic improvement compared to older models. Additionally, the XPT (Xtreme Protection Technology) system effectively protects the internal components from dust and moisture ingress, extending the lifespan of mechanisms in challenging construction environments.

Application and Mounting Flexibility

The tool is compatible with blades of 255 mm, 260 mm, and 270 mm diameters, offering great flexibility in selecting accessories for specific materials. The AFT (Anti-Feedback Technology) function minimizes the risk of kickback in case of sudden blade binding, enhancing operator safety. Please note that the set includes only the tool body – batteries and charger must be purchased separately or existing XGT® system batteries can be used. This makes the solution ideal for professionals who already own a Makita 40V tool range and wish to expand it with a powerful saw without unnecessary initial costs.

The BLDC brushless motor provides not only higher performance but, above all, eliminates the need for periodic replacement of carbon brushes, reducing service costs and downtime. The AWS system operates automatically – simply start the saw, and the vacuum cleaner will begin working, keeping the area clean without additional operator maneuvers. The new dust extraction port design ensures it does not obstruct the cutting line even with the dust collector attached, which is critical for precision in complex finishing work. The ability to use blades ranging from 255 to 270 mm allows cutting of thick structural beams in a single pass, eliminating the need for multiple material repositioning.
