Makita, DHS900Z, 2 x ‌18 V, ‌235 mm, Brushless Cordless Circular Saw

The Makita DHS900Z 2 x 18 V LXT Brushless Cordless Circular Saw is a battery-powered tool designed for professional construction and carpentry. It cuts wood, with a cutting depth of 85 mm at 90° and 61 mm at 45°. A 235 mm blade with a 30 mm bore handles the material removal. The brushless motor runs the blade at a maximum no-load speed of 4,500 RPM. Powered by two 18 V Li-ion batteries, the cordless format allows for movement across job sites without a mains cable. The tool is sold as a body-only unit, meaning the batteries and charger are not included, though one saw blade is provided.

Weighing 6,000 g, this circular saw has an overall length of 413 mm for handling large stock. Bevel adjustment allows for angled cuts from 0° to 60°. A built-in light improves visibility around the cut line during operation. The spindle lock makes blade changes easier when the included blade dulls. For dust management, an extraction port supports connection to a vacuum system. The removable battery design allows the power cells to be swapped between tools.

• Makita AWS Auto-Start Wireless System compatibility — automates connected dust extractor activation when the saw starts.
• Soft start and quick stop function — reduces initial torque jolt and stops the blade rapidly for safety.
• Kickback protection and overload protection — prevent accidental movement and motor damage during demanding cuts.
• Battery protection system — prevents over-discharge and overheating to extend battery lifespan.
• 104 dB sound power level — indicates high noise output requiring hearing protection.
• 2.5 m/s² vibration level in wood — measures hand-arm vibration for user comfort during prolonged tasks.
• Safety switch — prevents accidental activation of the power tool.
