The whole unit weighs 14.3 pounds with the battery installed to reduce strain over extended usage periods. You can adjust the foot to protect your cut piece from marring.

Star Protection Computer Controls™ protect the power cells from overloading and over-discharging. A built-in fan keeps the batteries from overheating while they charge. You can use this tool with all Makita batteries with the compatible Star symbol. A protection circuit prevents over-torque to defend the motor. The lithium-ion design is resistant to forming a memory so you can charge it before it's completely drained. Batteries can be switched back and forth between the tool and charger for continuous power.
