Product Information
Full details
The Makita DLS714NZ is a professional-grade 190mm cordless slide compound mitre saw designed for carpenters and contractors who require corded-like power in a portable, battery-operated package. By utilizing dual 18V LXT batteries in series, the saw delivers high-torque performance ideal for trim work, framing, and finish carpentry. While it offers impressive 300mm single-pass cutting capacity and mobility, the main caveat is that users must manage two charged batteries simultaneously for peak operation.

FAQs
Can I use the saw with only one battery?

What is the maximum cutting width?
The saw is capable of cuts up to 300mm in a single pass due to the double sliding mechanism.
Is the stand compatible with other Makita saws?
The DEAWST06 stand is designed for portability and is compatible with most Makita mitre saws, though you should check the specific mounting hole patterns.
How do I know if the battery is low?
The saw features an integrated LED indicator panel that displays remaining battery fuel.
Does this unit come with a battery charger?
Yes, the kit includes a DC18RC charger capable of charging your batteries.
Troubleshooting
Saw loses power during deep cuts
Ensure both batteries are fully charged and that you are not pushing the feed rate faster than the motor can handle.
Blade stop is slow or inconsistent
Check the battery connection for debris and ensure the batteries are securely locked into the slots.
Saw will not start
Verify that both batteries are installed correctly and that they are not empty; ensure the soft-start mechanism has cycled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the system, attach the DLS714NZ to the DEAWST06 stand using the provided tool-less mounting hardware. Ensure the legs are fully locked and the transport wheels are clear of the workspace. Compatibility is limited to Makita 18V LXT batteries; avoid using older or non-genuine batteries, as they may trigger the protection circuit prematurely. For maintenance, regularly clear sawdust from the sliding rails to prevent friction and ensure smooth movement. Keep the cooling vents clean with compressed air to prevent motor overheating. Always store batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods, and check the blade for sharpness periodically to ensure motor efficiency is maintained.
