Experience Dead-On Precision with High-Demand Cordless Power

Revolutionize your framing and forming work with the Makita GSH02M1 40V max XGT® Brushless 7-1/4” Circular Saw Kit. Engineered to outperform corded predecessors, this saw utilizes a powerful Makita-built brushless motor that generates a massive 6,000 RPM for high-speed cutting performance. It is designed to tackle 3X the material in a single pass with a deep cutting capacity of 2-3/8 inches at 90 degrees. What sets this model apart is its integrated guide rail compatible base, which interacts directly with optional guide rails. This feature allows builders and roofers to achieve perfect, dead-on straight or bevel cuts without the need for clumsy adapters, saving time and ensuring accuracy on every job.

Durability and intelligence meet in the XGT® system. The saw features a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard, keeping the tool lightweight at just 10.4 lbs (with battery) without sacrificing ruggedness. It is equipped with Automatic Torque Drive Technology, which intuitively adjusts cutting speed under load to maintain optimum performance. For a cleaner and safer job site, the saw is AWS® Capable (Auto-Start Wireless System), allowing for Bluetooth® connectivity to compatible dust extractors for wireless power-on/off communication. With Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) channeling dust and water away from internal components, this kit is built to outlast the harshest conditions.

Key Features

  • Rail Ready Design: The base interacts directly with optional guide rails for dead-on straight cuts without requiring an adapter.
  • High-Speed Power: Brushless motor delivers 6,000 RPM, capable of cutting 3X material in a single pass.
  • Intelligent Cutting: Automatic Torque Drive adjusts speed under load for consistent, optimal cutting performance.
  • Deep Capacity: Offers a large 2-3/8 inch cutting depth at 90 degrees and a 0-56 degree bevel capacity with positive stops at 22.5, 45, and 56 degrees.
  • Wireless Efficiency: Auto-start Wireless System (AWS®) uses Bluetooth® for wireless on/off communication with dust extractors (Transmitter sold separately).
  • Jobsite Durability: Features XPT™ integrated seals for water and dust resistance, plus a magnesium base and guard for lightweight strength.
  • Enhanced Safety: Equipped with an electric brake for maximum productivity and user safety.
  • XGT® Technology: Digital communication protects against overload, over-discharge, and overheating while optimizing performance up to 2X longer.

Pro-Tip: To maximize the "Dead-On" accuracy of the guide rail compatibility, ensure you adjust the two setting screws on the saw base when you first place it on the rail. This eliminates any side-to-side play, ensuring the saw glides smoothly without wobbling for a furniture-grade finish on construction lumber.
