The Makita DLS714 is a professional-grade cordless slide compound mitre saw designed for carpenters and contractors who require high-performance cutting capabilities without the restriction of a power cord. By utilizing two 18V Li-ion batteries to power its 36V brushless motor, this tool delivers AC-like precision and torque for demanding site applications. While it offers impressive portability and a substantial 300mm cutting capacity, users should note that the dual-battery configuration requires both packs to be charged for optimal operation, which may increase downtime if you do not have spare batteries ready.

Ensure both batteries are fully pushed into their slots and check that the LED indicator shows sufficient charge.
The overload protection may have triggered; allow the motor to cool down and reduce the feed speed of your next cut.
Check the locking mechanism for the miter table and recalibrate the positive stops using a precision square.
To set up, ensure the saw is placed on a stable, flat surface and the bevel and mitre angles are calibrated before first use. The saw is compatible with the entire Makita 18V LXT battery lineup, though 5.0Ah batteries are recommended to maximize runtime. For care, always clear the baseplate of sawdust after each use to ensure the sliding rails move smoothly. Periodically check the dust extraction port and clear any debris to maintain optimal airflow. Store the unit in a dry environment and remove the batteries when the saw is not in use for extended periods to prevent phantom discharge.
