Makita-built brushless motor, three orbital settings, and straight cutting deliver faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. Dual LED lights illuminate the work area, allowing you to see what you’re doing in a darkened room.
The variable 6-speed control dial (800-3,500 SPM) allows the user to match the speed to the application. A large 2-finger variable speed trigger for added convenience, as well as a lock-on button, are also included.
The no-load speed reduction feature automatically reduces SPM for more accurate cutting starts, and the rubberized soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job while working at high speeds.
Soft start reduces start-up reaction time, allowing for greater control and accuracy. It is lightweight, weighing only 5.8 lbs. with battery (battery not included), resulting in reduced operator fatigue.
When compared to the BL1830, the battery has an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator that allows the user to monitor battery charge. It also provides up to 65 percent more run time per charge.
