Extremely powerful
Thanks to the combination of the EC-TEC motor and the switch activated pendulum stroke, you’ll be sawing fast. With the power directed into the saw blade, you won’t feel it in the machine or in your arms freeing up movement and energy for you.

Tool-free blade changes
Save time on setup, spend more time on getting the job done. The saw blade is automatically ejected when the chuck is opened, allowing it to be easily replaced quickly and contactlessly. This reduces risk with touching sharp edges, too.
