The Makita GSL02M1 40V max XGT Brushless 8.5-inch Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit is a powerful and efficient tool for all your cutting needs. With a high-speed 4,800 RPM brushless motor, it cuts faster and smoother. The rail-forward design gives you more workspace when the saw is placed against a wall. It has a large 2.75 x 12.25-inch cutting capacity at 90 degrees, and can miter from 0° to 60° left and right, and bevel from 0° to 48° left and right. The brushless motor runs cooler and lasts longer. It features Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust speed and torque under load, and a soft start for smooth operation and longer gear life. The extension wings allow you to cut longer materials and can be retracted for easy storage. An electric brake boosts productivity. It's also equipped with Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) technology. AWS uses Bluetooth for wireless communication between the saw and a dust extractor (sold separately). When you pull the trigger, the dust extractor turns on; when you release it, the extractor turns off. This intelligent system eliminates cords and reduces noise. The XGT system uses 40V max lithium-ion batteries, delivering high power for high-demand jobs, making a cordless job site possible. It includes advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability. The kit comes with a miter saw, a battery, a charger, a triangular rule, a hex wrench, a miter saw blade, and a dust bag. It offers high cutting performance, long-lasting power, and protection against overload, over-discharge, and overheating. The LED light shows an exact cutting line, and the dual dust collection ports and blade case design help reduce dust. The saw is compatible with Makita 40V max XGT Lithium-Ion Batteries and comes with a 3-year limited warranty. Only use genuine Makita Batteries and Chargers.
Using the Makita GSL02M1 miter saw is easy. First, make sure you have a fully charged 40V max XGT battery installed. Then, place the saw on a stable surface. You can use the extension wings for longer materials. To set the miter and bevel angles, use the convenient dials at the front of the tool. When you're ready to cut, pull the trigger. The soft start will make the start-up smooth. If you have an AWS-compatible dust extractor, it will turn on automatically. After cutting, release the trigger and the dust extractor will turn off. For maintenance, keep the saw clean. Use the onboard hex wrench to change the blade when needed. Always make sure the saw is turned off and the battery is removed before cleaning or changing the blade. Store the saw in a dry place. Remember, only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and safety. The saw, battery, and charger come with a 3-year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita customer service.
