5902B 235mm circular saw

The Makita 5902B is a electric corded circular saw manufactured by Makita.

The blade diameter is the same as the class N5900B but with an stiffer aluminium base with quick release levers instead of wing nuts.

Exterior

The machine body is made out of "Makita teal" colored plastic and has a handle on top with a trigger switch. The motor housing has black round slotted covers that provide access to the motor brushes. The motor housing is flattened on top so the machine can be put upside down to change the saw blade.

The base is made out of black painted steel with quick release levers to adjust the angle but the rip fence uses a plastic covered wing nut.

The saw blade is shielded with an aluminium cover on top with a handle attached to it. The bottom part of the saw blade is covered by a spring loaded retractable cover which has a metal lever to manually retract it.

Operation

The machine is activated with the trigger switch on the underside of the top handle.

To adjust the angle a quick release lever at the front and back of the base needs to be loosened and tightened.
