Always the Right Speed

Large variable-speed trigger enables smooth machine start-up and stepless stroke speed control for more control and precision.

Hands-Free Blade Changes

Saw blade is automatically ejected when the chuck is opened, meaning it can be replaced without having to contact a hot blade.

Unpleasant fine dust particles and chips are extracted directly at the point of contact when an extractor is connected, providing cleaner work enivorments and better results.

Integrated LED Light

The integrated LED light provides optimal lighting and clarity on the workpiece, even in dimly lit environments.

Take a Break Safely

Locking switch prevents the trigger from being activated unintentionally, ensuring safe storage and transport when not in use.

Sawing to the Edge

Saw blades can be installed and rotated by 180 in the chuck, enabling users to cut and flush cut up to the ceiling, wall, floor, and other locations.

Long Saw Blade Life

The saw table can be locked in varying positions, adjusting load on the saw blade itself to extend blade life and usability.
