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-tool performance without the restriction of a power cable. By utilizing two 18V Li-ion batteries to provide 36V of power, it handles heavy-duty cutting tasks with precision and consistent speed. While it offers exceptional portability and power, the tool requires managing two batteries simultaneously, which may be a consideration for users without multiple battery sets on hand.

Troubleshooting
The saw does not start when the trigger is pulled.
Verify that both batteries are fully inserted into the tool and that they are sufficiently charged.
Motor slows down significantly during a cut.
Ensure the blade is sharp and the feed rate is not too aggressive; check if the battery indicator shows an overload alert.
Inaccurate mitre or bevel angles.
Calibrate the bevel and mitre stop settings using a precision square to ensure the blade is perfectly perpendicular to the fence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, first attach the saw to the DEAWST05 stand using the included mounting brackets. Adjust the stand height to match your natural working position between 550mm and 800mm. Before first use, ensure both 18V batteries are fully charged via the DC18RC charger. During maintenance, regularly clear sawdust from the sliding rails to ensure smooth motion and check the blade for sharpness, as a dull blade puts extra strain on the motor and batteries. Store the batteries in a dry, room-temperature environment to prolong their lifecycle.
