The Makita LS004GD202 XGT 40Vmax Slide Compound Mitre Saw is designed for professional woodworkers and serious DIYers seeking precision and power in a cordless tool. Its key benefit lies in its high precision cutting with a brushless motor, smooth operation, and space-saving rail-forward design. A potential caveat for some users might be the reliance on the XGT 40Vmax battery system, which is specific to Makita's higher-end cordless tools. This saw offers a maintenance-free brushless motor, soft start, electric brake, a single sliding system for superior cuts, and a rail-forward design allowing it to be placed against a wall.

The rail-forward design allows the saw to be placed against a wall, significantly saving workspace, which is ideal for smaller workshops or tight job sites.
No, this saw is part of Makita's XGT 40Vmax system and requires specific XGT 40Vmax batteries for operation. 18V batteries are not compatible.
When connected to a compatible AWS dust extractor via Bluetooth, the extractor will automatically turn on when you switch the saw on and turn off shortly after you switch the saw off, improving dust collection efficiency.
At 90 degrees, the saw has a cutting capacity of approximately 91mm x 279mm or 68mm x 310mm, depending on the angle.
This specific model is designed for mitre and bevel cuts. For depth adjustments like grooving, you would typically need a saw with a depth-stop adjustment feature, or perform multiple passes.
Mitre angles are adjusted by turning a knob on the base, and bevel angles are adjusted using a front knob. The large bevel lock lever also aids in easy operation.
Brushless motors are designed to be maintenance-free, meaning they do not require brush replacements like traditional motors, contributing to a longer lifespan and reduced upkeep.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety lock-off switch is disengaged. Verify the power switch is fully depressed.
Check that the mitre and bevel angle locks are securely tightened. Ensure the workpiece is firmly against the fence and sub-tables. Inspect the blade for damage or dullness and ensure it is correctly installed.
The blade may be dull or the wrong type for the material. Check for obstructions in the blade path or in the sliding mechanism. Reduce the feed rate. Ensure the material is properly supported.
Ensure the dust bag is properly attached and emptied regularly, or that a compatible dust extractor is securely connected and functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the dust port or hose.
Clean the rails and check for any debris. Lightly lubricate the rails if recommended by the manual. Ensure the saw is on a level surface and not under stress.
