Makita XGT HS012G Circular Saw (40Vmax; 165 mm; Brushless)

The Makita XGT® HS012G is an efficient 40Vmax cordless circular saw designed for demanding professional use. Powered by XGT® Li-ion batteries and a brushless motor, it delivers a no-load speed of 5,200 min⁻¹ for fast cutting performance. The 165 mm blade provides a maximum cutting depth of 57 mm at 90° and 41 mm at 45°, with a bevel range up to 50° to the left.

A lightweight magnesium base, blade guard and blade cover help reduce overall weight while maintaining durability. The compact design and forward-oriented handle make the saw easy to guide and control, improving safety and cutting accuracy. The HS012G can be used with a guide rail (with optional adapter) for precise straight cuts in boards and long workpieces.

Double LED work lights with pre- and after-glow illuminate the cutting line. An electronic brake stops the blade quickly when the trigger is released, and a safety switch helps to prevent accidental start-up. The saw includes a dust extraction port and supports AWS (Auto-Start Wireless System) to connect via Bluetooth to compatible dust extractors. XPT (Extreme Protection Technology) and the battery protection system provide resistance to dust, water and electrical overload in tough site conditions. Tool only; battery and charger are not included.
