HS0600 270mm circular saw

The Makita HS0600 is a electric corded circular saw manufactured by Makita.

The saw is powered by 2100 watt brushed electric motor and with a 270 mm saw blade can cut up to 101 mm deep.

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 aluminium and has quick release levers to adjust the bevel angle up to 50º but the rip fence uses a plastic covered wing nut.

The saw blade is shielded with an magnesium cover on top with a handle attached to it. On the back is a dust ejection chute pointing backwards on which a vacuum can be attached.

The bottom part of the saw blade is covered by a spring loaded retractable cover which has a plastic 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.
