Full details

The Makita DLS714NZ is designed for professional carpenters and serious woodworkers who require high-performance cutting capabilities without the restriction of a power cord. This 190mm cordless slide compound mitre saw delivers power equivalent to AC tools by utilizing two 18V Li-ion batteries, though users should note that the dual-battery configuration requires managing two charge levels simultaneously for optimal uptime.

Troubleshooting

Tool stops during a cut

The battery protection circuit may have engaged due to overload or low battery. Check battery levels on the LED panel and reduce the feed rate if the motor is struggling.

Inaccurate miter or bevel angles

Check if the locking knobs are tightened securely. Verify the calibration of the miter scale and square the blade to the fence if necessary.

Excessive vibration or blade wobble

Ensure the blade flange is tightened correctly and the blade is properly seated. Check for any build-up of resin or sawdust on the blade surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the DLS714NZ, ensure both 18V Li-ion batteries are fully charged and seated firmly into the dual battery ports. The saw is compatible with the standard Makita 18V LXT battery ecosystem. For care, keep the sliding rails free of sawdust using a dry cloth, as debris can obstruct the smooth movement of the saw head. Periodically check the blade sharpness and replace it when signs of scorching or tear-out appear on the wood surface. Store the tool in a dry, dust-free environment, and always remove the batteries when performing blade changes or maintenance to ensure absolute safety.
