- Automatic Torque Drive (ADT) — electronically adjusts speed and torque based on material load for consistent cuts without bogging down.
- AWS Compatible — wirelessly starts a compatible dust extractor when you pull the trigger.

When to Use This Circular Saw
The HS003GZ is Makita’s most powerful single-battery cordless circular saw, built for trades on the 40V XGT platform. The 68.5 mm cut depth exceeds both the 18V DHS680Z (57 mm) and the 36V DHS780Z (66 mm), handling the thickest framing timber from a single battery. ADT and AWS are premium features that the 18V range does not offer at this power level. For XGT platform users who need the ultimate cordless circular saw, this is it.
