Product Information

Full details

The Makita DLS714NZ is designed for professional carpenters and serious DIY enthusiasts who require high-performance, mobile cutting capabilities without the restriction of a power cord. By utilizing two 18V Li-ion batteries to generate 36V of power, it matches the performance of many AC-powered mitre saws, providing significant cutting capacity up to 300mm. While it offers unparalleled convenience and portability, users should note that the dual-battery configuration requires managing two charged batteries simultaneously to maintain consistent performance.

Troubleshooting

The saw will not start even with batteries installed.

Ensure both batteries are fully seated and have a sufficient charge; check that the electric brake is not jammed.

The motor stops suddenly during a cut.
