New to using a circular saw, but after 50 or so trial cuts and setting the blade perfectly at 90 to it's base ( factory setting off by 3 degrees !), now by eye i can follow a line better than i can hand saw and very plumb to its top ( blade tip quite visable from LH side ) - cut finish is almost as good as a planed surface with the Efficut blade. You do need to take care , patience and skill is required always required for precision and finish. Tool light, fits my hand perfectly - very happy with the tool. No loose toggles as the 680 tool reports - more noisey though. Overall very happy with it. I'll try an invent some sort of guide for it - however, even going by careful eye, it's so much faster than using a hand saw.

Bought this saw thinking it was the 680z model as seen it was brushless and assumed it was the same saw . Although it isn’t as sturdy and has more plastic parts than the 680z it still looked decent so I thought I would just go with it . Very awkward to use if you are right handed as you are constantly bending your head over to see where to start a cut . Not sure if it’s specific for left handers ?? No hanging bar either which is very useful when roofing and first fixing so all in all a bit disappointing and no where near as good as the 680z .... my own fault I guess for not checking the model numbers !

Plenty of Brushless power, well balanced and compact, also because the blades on the right it can be mounted on a Makita track like a plunge saw fantastic!!

Wow. Wasn't sure about battery saw if it would have enough power. Very very pleased. Put it to the test and it outperforms both my corded saws and didn't kill my battery nearly as fast as I thought it would. Well worth the money
