Product Information

Full details

The Makita DLS714 is a professional-grade 190mm cordless mitre saw designed for carpenters and contractors who require high-precision cuts in locations without easy access to AC power. By utilizing two 18V LXT batteries to deliver 36V performance, it offers the power of a corded tool with the freedom of cordless operation; however, users should be aware that it is a compact 190mm saw, which may limit the depth of cut compared to larger 254mm or 305mm models.

FAQs

Can I use this saw with only one battery?

No, the DLS714 is designed to run specifically on a 36V system generated by two 18V batteries connected in series.

What is the maximum cross-cut capacity?

The 190mm blade combined with the sliding mechanism is optimized for standard trim, skirting, and framing tasks; consult your manual for specific cut-width capacities based on the mitre angle.

Are the batteries compatible with other Makita tools?

Yes, the 5.0Ah 18V BL1850 batteries are part of the extensive Makita LXT cordless ecosystem.

How do I adjust the mitre angle?

Use the mitre angle adjustment handle and positive stops to lock the saw into your desired angle quickly.

Is the DEAWST06 stand compatible with other saws?

The DEAWST06 is designed for Makita mitre saws, but the tool-less mounting brackets may vary in compatibility with other brands.

How long does the battery take to charge?

The DC18RC charger typically charges a 5.0Ah battery in approximately 45 minutes.

Troubleshooting

The saw stops during a heavy cut

The automatic speed control or battery protection circuit may have triggered. Check if your batteries are fully charged and avoid forcing the blade too quickly through dense wood.

Tool will not start despite full batteries

Ensure both batteries are firmly seated in the battery ports. Check the LED indicator panel for any error codes related to high temperature or overload.

Sliding motion feels stiff

Clear any accumulated wood dust or debris from the guide rails. Do not over-lubricate, as this can attract more dust.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • True 36V power performance from cordless convenience
  • Brushless motor minimizes maintenance needs
  • Highly portable setup thanks to the lightweight DEAWST06 stand
  • Soft start technology prevents power surges
  • Integrated LED battery fuel gauge for better workflow management

Cons

  • Smaller 190mm blade limits the maximum thickness of timber cut
  • Requires two fully charged batteries for optimal output
  • Heavier than single-battery mitre saws due to dual-battery configuration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, click the two 18V 5.0Ah batteries into the rear battery ports. The machine will not operate effectively if one battery is significantly depleted. The DEAWST06 stand should be set on a level surface before locking the folding legs into place. To care for your tool, keep the sliding rails clean and free of sawdust to ensure smooth movement. Regularly inspect the blade for wear, as dull blades increase the load on the motor and drain battery life faster. Store batteries in a cool, dry place and use the included DC18RC charger only, as it features intelligent communication with the battery's built-in chip to prevent overheating.
