Extended Product Information

FAQs

What batteries are compatible with the Makita CS002G?

The Makita CS002G is compatible with all Makita 40v Max XGT Li-ion batteries. Batteries and a charger are sold separately.

Does this saw come with batteries and a charger?

No, the Makita CS002G is sold as a bare tool, meaning batteries and a charger are not included in the package. You will need to purchase them separately.

What is the maximum cutting depth?

The maximum cutting depth at 0 degrees is 67mm.

How do I activate the Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT)?

AFT is an automatic safety feature. It engages when the tool senses sudden slowing or binding of the blade and automatically shuts down the tool. There is no manual activation required for AFT itself, but ensure the tool is properly set up and the battery is connected for it to function.

What is the blade size required for this saw?

The saw requires a 185mm diameter blade with a 30mm bore.

Can I use this saw for cutting wood?

This saw is specifically designed for cutting metal. Using it for wood may damage the blade and the tool, and is not recommended.

How loud is this tool?

The noise sound pressure level is 102 dB(A) and the noise sound power level is 113 dB(A). Always use appropriate hearing protection.

Troubleshooting

Tool won't turn on

Ensure the XGT 40v battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the lock-off button is engaged.

Blade binding or slow cutting

Check if the blade is sharp and appropriate for the material. Ensure the blade is correctly installed and not damaged. Reduce cutting speed and pressure. Clear any debris from the cut line or dust box.

AFT system engages frequently

This indicates the tool is sensing resistance. Reduce cutting pressure, ensure the blade is sharp, and check for any obstructions in the blade path or debris buildup around the blade housing.

LED worklight not functioning

Check the battery connection. If the light still does not work, contact customer support for assistance.

Excessive dust accumulation

Empty and clean the dust collection box regularly. Ensure the dust collection port is not blocked.
