For straighter£¬ more accurate cutting in vertical and overhead applications£¬ has a solution with the 18-Volt 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 ft. of 1/2 in. 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 1/4 in. stroke length with an adjustable blade depth up to 1-3/16 in. (9/16 in. 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. 18-Volt 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 tool performance and extended battery life£¬ created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading£¬ over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility£¬ the tool can also be powered by 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
