Product Information
Full details
The Makita DLS714NZ is designed for professional carpenters, joiners, and serious DIY enthusiasts who require high-precision cross-cutting and mitre-cutting capabilities in a portable, cordless package. By utilizing a 36V system powered by two 18V LXT batteries, it delivers corded-like power without the need for mains electricity. While the brushless motor and double sliding mechanism ensure excellent accuracy, users should be aware that the heavy-duty nature of the saw and the included stand assembly require significant space for effective operation.

FAQs
Can I run the saw on a single 18V battery?
No, this model requires two 18V batteries to be installed simultaneously to achieve the necessary 36V power.
What is the maximum extension of the stand arms?
The DEAWST06 stand arms extend up to 2.55 metres.
Is the saw compatible with dust extraction systems?
Yes, it features a dust port that can be connected to standard vacuum extraction hoses.
How do I ensure the cut is square?
Use a precision square against the blade and fence, then adjust the positive stop settings if necessary.
Is the battery charger included?
Yes, the kit includes a DC18RC fast charger.
Can I use older 18V batteries with this saw?
Yes, as long as they are genuine Makita LXT Li-ion batteries, though higher capacity (4.0Ah+) is recommended for better runtime.
Troubleshooting
Saw loses power during deep cuts
Ensure both batteries are fully charged and securely clicked into the battery ports.
Inaccurate mitre cuts
Recalibrate the miter scale and check the fence alignment to ensure it is square to the blade.
Slide mechanism feels sticky
Clean the rails with a dry cloth and ensure there is no resin or sawdust buildup; do not use heavy lubricants that attract dust.
