It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries. Makita® 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

For improved efficiency, it’s equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System technology (AWS®). AWS utilizes Bluetooth® technology for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor (sold separately). When the trigger of the AWS-equipped XLS01 is engaged, the AWS-equipped dust extractor powers-up. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers-down. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when the tool is running.It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Non-marring plastic base cover protects drywall surface from potential damage caused by the metal base Makita® 18V LXT® Brushless Cordless Drywall Sander (XLS01ZX1) delivers increased efficiency and mobility for drywall finishers. The compact and lightweight design makes the XLS01 easier to use for extended periods of time. It delivers up to 35 minutes of run time on a single charge of an 18V 5.0Ah battery (sold separately). Users can match the speed to the application with a variable speed control dial (1,000 - 1,800 RPM), and Constant Speed Control automatically provides additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load for consistent performance. The XLS01ZX1 features a round brush design for efficient dust extraction and minimal leakage. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions Makita-built variable speed motor delivers 0-6,000 strokes per minute for faster and more efficient cutting

Overload sensor is designed to alert when excessive load is applied and protect from damage due to overheating Constant Speed Control automatically applies additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load Optional Extension Handle (part no. 199937-7) allows an additional 22-3/4" longer reach for high walls and ceilings Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating Designed to cut openings in installed board with an adjustable blade depth up to 1-3/16" (9/16" in wood)Tool users who unplug the cord with Makita 18V LXT® experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Makita created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world’s largest 18V cordless tool line-up. Makita’s leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards – and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT® technology, Makita 18V LXT® tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.

The direct-drive BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The adjustable extension pipe collapses for sanding in confined spaces, such as closets, and extends up to 16-1/2” for reaching high walls and ceilings. The dust brush is removable for seamless flush-to-corner edge sanding.

Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately) Blade cover with on-board storage protects blade and material surface from damage when saw is not in use Delivers up to 35 minutes of run-time, using 120 grit abrasive discs with one 18V LXT® 5.0Ah Battery (battery not included) Direct drive Makita-built brushless motor positioned at the sanding head for increased sanding efficiency and reduced maintenance Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) connects to compatible dust extractors with Bluetooth - the dust extractor automatically runs while the switch is onRapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately) Cuts up to 1,200 feet of 1/2" drywall on a single charge using 5.0Ah battery BL1850B (battery not included)*

Two position rubberized soft grip handles provide increased comfort and easier maneuverability of sanderVariable speed control dial allows manual RPM adjustment (1,000-1,800) to match the speed to the application For straighter, more accurate cutting in vertical and overhead applications, Makita has a solution with the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Cut-Out Saw (model XDS01Z, tool only). It’s designed to cut openings in installed board, including drywall and plywood, and will cut up to 984 feet of ½” drywall on a single charge using a 4.0Ah battery (sold separately). To help prevent damage to objects behind the board being cut, it has a short ¼” stroke length with an adjustable blade depth up to 1-3/16" (9/16" in wood). For improved dust extraction, the XDS01Z has a dust port with a clear dust box for increased visibility. It is ideal for cut-outs and drywall repair applications. Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (battery and charger sold separately) Short 1/4" stroke length with adjustable blade depth helps prevent damage to objects behind the board being cut Auto-start Wireless System (AWS®) which utilizes Bluetooth® technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and dust extractor
