Makita has launched the new CE002G 80VMax (40VMax x2) XGT Brushless 355mm Dry Power Cutter.

The company said the CE002G is designed for dry cutting and is ideal for operations where use of a water supply kit should be avoided, such as indoor renovations and modifications.

It is operated by two XGT batteries in series that provide up to 80VMax of power to achieve a cutting depth of 127mm and a high cutting speed of 4,200rpm – all without the need for petrol or cords.

Makita added the tool offers “supreme convenience and comfort” due to its anti-vibration housing with built-in damper spring, which helps to achieve an extremely low vibration rate of 2.0m/s².

It is also compatible with Makita’s wireless dust extractors via the Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) for wireless communication between the machine and the extractor.

The CE002G Power Cutter also includes safety features such as active feedback sensors to shut down the tool in the event of kickback, as well as an electric brake.

Kevin Brannigan, marketing manager at Makita UK, said, “The CE002G is the latest in our extensive range of power cutters which have stood the test of time with our professional customers. There’s no fumes, pull starts or the maintenance associated with a petrol powered saw and we continue to evolve and enhance our cordless power tool range based on feedback from those using them on a daily basis.”
