- The torque and speed are like those of a machine tool, with pleasure it dissolves a raw larch chopping block-five, like a hot knife through butter. Comfortable handles, a strong grip, the absence of a button blocker that I hate so much (I remove the blocker on other instruments myself). The casing and sole are made of magnesium, which gives 5 strength and -10 to the weight of the machine, an additional metal grill on the engine air intake, and it looks beautiful and protects from sawdust entering the motor. According to the first one, there was a soft start, then it evaporated somewhere, but even without it it starts softly, does not break out of the hands. Illumination of the working area, it is quite possible to work at dusk. A good rubber cord that is not afraid of either heat or frost.
- Bullets with fragments in the eyes, on the one hand, even a plus - it makes you think about personal protective equipment, like a shield or glasses. It makes noise so that it is better not to turn it on without earplugs or protective headphones, it hurts the eardrums. As colleagues have already written, the guide bracket is made of bad metal, it bends a lot. In the extremely high position, the tip of the guard continues to stick out below the sole, which prevents the saw from being level on the floor.
- Power and a large number of revolutions cannot be defeated, no matter how hard I try to load the saw! Turnovers fall, but rushing like a tank. Powerful air flow perfectly blows sawdust ahead. Depth and tilt clamps are quick-clamping and reliable, do not require additional tools, very convenient! The protective cover works reliably, its mechanism is not clogged with sawdust. Not very heavy weight.
- Does the Makita have flaws? At least this model does not have them!
- Cutting accuracy (including due to the rigidity of the cast base plate made of magnesium alloy), the ability to work with the left hand
- Non-standard nozzle for a vacuum cleaner; not very effective intake of sawdust in a vacuum cleaner; the power is still not enough: when installing a slightly thicker disc with a larger number of teeth, the saw already “gives up” a little. However, a finishing cut is more likely to machine tools .
- Power, reliability, long life.
