The Makita XGT range is Makita’s standalone 40V lithium-ion platform - and Makita’s most powerful cordless range yet. This expanding tool system comprises Makita’s highest-performing tools, each of which uses a fast-charging Makita XGT 40v battery - either 2.5Ah, 4Ah or 5Ah - with an XGT fast charger to go with it. Each and every product in the Makita 40v Max XGT range is designed for the most demanding environments and the most demanding jobs; each tool in the Makita 40v range features brushless technology for improved battery performance, faster charge times and longer lifespan. The XGT range also features AWS, a smart technology unique to Makita: It allows wireless communication between the battery and the charger as well as the battery and the tool to provide protection against issues such as over-discharge and overheating.
To talk us through some of the best-selling tools from the XGT range, we had a visit from two of Makita UK’s experts, Darrell Beresford (Sales / Demo / Training Rep) and Courtney Frankish (Product Specialist). In this video, Darrell profiles the Makita LS002 Sliding Compound Mitre Saw, showing you how to use the power tool, and describing its features; which include its shadow light, electric brake, and constant speed control. This innovative model, which uses AWS (auto-start wireless system) and dust extraction, can be found at www.ukplanettools.co.uk/.
We’ve had so much fun making this video about the Makita LS002 that Darrell and Courtney will be visiting us again soon to profile outdoor products within the Makita XGT range. Stay tuned!
