Makita DHS680ZJ 18v LXT Brushless Circular Saw 165mm Body Only in Makpac Case
The DHS680 is Makita's first brushless circular saw, which becomes one of the latest member of Makita's impressive line up of 18v Lithium-ion cordless tools. Boasting a brand new brushless motor and some new in-built features, the DHS680 looks set to become one of the most popular cordless circular saws on the market. Comes supplied body only in a MAKPAC type 3 carry case with inlay.

FEATURES

Highly efficient brushless motor, that has several benefits over the non brushed equivalent. Firstly, because their are no brushes within the motor, none of the battery power is wasted on creating the heat and friction that happens when using brushes, so consequently the battery lasts longer (per charge) and the energy created by the battery is far more efficient, allowing your tool to achieve higher capacities, so this saw will be able to cut longer, faster and into tougher materials
Another benefit of the brushless motor is that, because there are no moving/touching parts in the motor there is nothing wearing away at anything else and getting damaged. Your motor is actually going to be kept in far better condition than before
One more impressive new feature is the 'Automatic Speed Control' found on this saw. This feature allows the computer chip built into the saw to determine the most efficient cutting speed for the job that you're doing! It speeds up or reduces the speed of the saw making sure that it only uses the right amount of energy when required - making sure you get the most out of your saw, blade and battery
Another handy new feature is the battery state indicator which uses 3 LED lights to illuminate the amount of battery charge you have left so you'll never be caught without power just when you need it
Soft start for smooth start-up
Tool hanger allows you to hang the saw when not in use
Blower function blows sawdust off cutting line
Larger base than similar models that gives a more stable operation
Electronic current limiter for overload protection
Large lock off lever for ultimate safety
The twin LED job light ensures full visibility of the work piece
The Ergonomic soft grip and overall compact & lightweight design gives the user full control and comfort
Guide rail adaptor available separately 196953-0

Circular saw all seems fine very disappointed the incorrect makpak supplied but they can’t change it for the correct one. Simple enough request but not willing to do so. Very poor customer service.

Have had yes a corded Bosch circular saw for many many years, have had a number of Makita battery power tools for years also ,loved my Bosch. So took the plunge and add another bit of kit to my ever expanding family (Makita). So very very very glad I did so and with power tool world ,this dhs680z is absolutely fantastic with 5amp battery,the price very good, cutting 4x2 timber on my current project. So for me this saw is working perfectly. So I have said enough go by one. Cheers.

Great saw! Goes through 12mm plywood like butter, it’s that effortless. Even with the blade it comes with. Nice, smooth cut too. Glad I didn’t go for the cheapest Makita saw - this bad boy def worth the extra money. You’ll love it..
