40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 7-1/4″ Circular Saw Kit with Guide Rail Compatible Base, AWS® Capable, 4.0Ah

The 40V Max XGT® Brushless 7-1/4” Circular Saw Kit (GSH02M1) offers the convenience of cordless operation while tackling high-demand applications. Powered by a Makita-built brushless motor, the saw achieves an impressive 6,000 RPM for top-notch cutting performance. It can handle 3X material in a single pass, with a generous cutting capacity of 2-3/8” at 90-degrees.

Perfect for framers, builders, roofers, and other professionals, this circular saw features a guide rail compatible base that works seamlessly with optional guide rails to ensure accurate straight or bevel cuts without requiring an adapter. The GSH02M1 provides a 56-degree bevel capacity, with positive stops at 22.5-degrees, 45-degrees, and 56-degrees for added precision. Additional features include an electric brake for optimal productivity, dual LED lights, and a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard for enhanced durability and reduced weight.

Equipped with Automatic Torque Drive Technology, the saw adjusts cutting speed under load for optimum performance. Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) enhances tool operation in harsh conditions by directing water and dust away from critical internal components through a series of integrated seals.

The Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS®) employs Bluetooth® technology to enable wireless communication between the tool and a dust extractor for power-on and power-off capabilities. When connected via AWS, the dust extractor automatically powers on or off in sync with the cordless tool, promoting productivity and reducing noise on the job site.

As part of the XGT system, this circular saw benefits from 40V max lithium-ion batteries, advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features. Designed for high-demand applications, XGT allows users to fully transition to a cordless job site, outperforming and outlasting the competition.
