Ergonomic and Ease-of-Use
Features Magnesium components allowed Makita to engineer a saw
with less weight (10.6 pounds) that is well-balanced and jobsite
tough. Additional design details include greater clearance
between the rear handle and the blade case to provide a better
grip for larger hands or for users with gloves, as well as a
wider space between the blade and housing for a clearer view of
the blade and measurement scale. The saw features twin L.E.D.
lights for better illumination, as well as ducting designed to
blow dust away from the line of cut. Makita also engineered
ergonomics and ease-of-use into the saw, including clearly
visible depth and bevel markings and ergonomic hand grips to
improve overall control while minimizing operator igue. The
large rubberized levers provide quick, one-handed adjustments for
more efficient work.
Engineered for a Range of Applications
The 5008MGA 8-1/4-Inch Circular Saw is built for framing walls,
floors and roofs using a range of dimensional lumber and dense
engineered lumber, including LVL, Parallam and I-Joists, headers
and microlams; as well as ripping panels such as plywood, OSB,
particle board, and dense structural panels like Advantech. Other
applications include plunge cutting, pocket cutting, bevel
cutting, masonry and metal cutting. The 5008MGA is just another
example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and
best-in-class engineering.
