## Summary

The DHS661 is a 165 mm brushless LXT circular saw with 57 mm depth of cut, a 50° bevel and an electric brake. The ZU version includes a wireless adapter for automatic extractor start.

## Why this one

- **57 mm cutting depth**: 165 mm blade, 57 mm at 90°, 0–50° bevel.
- **Automatic torque drive**: ADT adapts speed and torque to the material.
- **AWS adapter included**: WUT01 starts a paired extractor with the saw.
- **Electric brake**: Stops the blade quickly after release.

## The story

### Everyday site cutting

Carpenters and builders use a 165 mm saw for studwork, sheathing, floorboards and roof battens. The DHS661 cuts 57 mm at 90° and 41 mm at 45°, enough for standard framing timber, while staying compact at 2.9 kg with a battery.

### What you get

ADT adjusts speed and torque to the material. An electric brake stops the blade quickly, a built-in blower clears the cut line, and an LED lights the line of cut. The removable dust nozzle and 35/40 mm port connect to an extractor.

### System

The ZU version includes the WUT01 wireless adapter so a Makita AWS extractor starts with the saw. A parallel guide is supplied, and it runs on any 18V LXT battery. German RTJU kits add two 5.0 Ah batteries, charger and MAKPAC.
