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

I'm a retired pensioner who does very occasional work around the house. I have already a Makita drill and driver with 3 amp batteries so the circular saw seemed like a good addition, and I've never enjoyed sawing long or thick bits of wood. I needed to do a lot of sawing for a garden project so this purchase fitted the job. What surprised me was just how quick the onerous task of cutting decking could be done with the Makita DHS680ZJ. The Makpac case with the insert make fro a sturdy and safe place to keep my new circular saw. At the the end of this task I was delighted with the result and its spurred me on to create a cross cut jig with a mitre cut for some frames I am planning. The service from Power Tool World was faultless a I am delighted with them and my puchase.

Brilliant tool. Cuts effortlessly through sheet, doors and worktop. The thin blade gives you mm precision while the led light and dust blower make seeing your line easy. Indexing between 90° to 45° is instantly done thanks to the quality of the base. Nice strong sturdy bit of kit. Would highly recommend. The macpac case is also the perfect place to store it, or to put it down while on a job. Keeping you and the saw nice and safe.
