Product Detail
DETAILS: This kit includes a miter saw, a WST06 compact folding stand, a battery, a charger, a triangular rule, a hex wrench, a saw blade, and a dust bag. FEATURES: The Makita-built brushless motor offers 4,800 RPM for rapid cutting. The XGT® digital communication optimizes performance, giving up to 2X longer power under heavy loads. It also monitors and safeguards against overload, over - discharge, and overheating. With a large 2 - 3/4" x 12 - 1/4" cutting capacity at 90°, it can miter 0 - 60° left and right and bevel 0 - 48° left and right. The LED light projects a blade shadow for an exact cutting line. Dual dust collection ports and a blade case design reduce dust. The rail - forward design maximizes workspace against a wall and allows for compact storage. The Auto - start Wireless System (AWS®) uses Bluetooth for wireless on - off between the tool and dust extractor (transmitter sold separately). Extension wings can cut longer materials and retract for storage. An easy - access bevel angle lock and an electric brake boost productivity. Soft start ensures smooth starts and longer gear life. Onboard hex wrench storage simplifies blade changes. XGT® tools and batteries have a multi - layer contact interface for stable power, and batteries feature impact - resistant rails. The XGT® Rapid Charger with dual fans cools the battery fast, and its digital display shows charge levels. It's compatible with Makita® 40V max XGT® Lithium - Ion Batteries and comes with a 3 - year limited warranty. Use only genuine Makita® Batteries and Chargers. SPECIFICATIONS: Blade diameter is 8 - 1/2", arbor is 5/8". Max cutting capacity at 90° miter is 2 - 3/4" x 12 - 1/4", at 45° miter (L/R) is 2 - 3/4" x 8 - 5/8". No - load speed is 4800 RPM. It's a 40V max XGT® cordless system with AWS™ capability (transmitter sold separately). The 40V max XGT® Brushless 8 - 1/2” Dual - Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit (GSL02M1) provides fast and smooth cutting. Its rail - forward design is great for wall - side work. The efficient brushless motor extends tool life. It has Automatic Speed Change™ for optimal performance and a soft start. The AWS® technology enables wireless communication with the dust extractor, eliminating cords and reducing noise. XGT is a high - power cordless system for high - demand jobs.
Using your Makita 40V Max XGT 8 - 1/2 Inch Dual - Bevel Sliding Miter Saw Kit is easy. First, make sure you have inserted the battery correctly into the charger and let it charge fully. Then, attach the battery to the saw. Adjust the miter and bevel angles according to your cutting needs. You can use the bevel angle lock and release dial at the front of the tool. When you're ready to cut, line up the LED - projected cutting line on your material. If you have an AWS - equipped dust extractor, pair it with the saw using the AWS technology. Just pull the trigger to start cutting, and the dust extractor will turn on automatically. When you release the trigger, the saw stops, and so does the dust extractor. For cutting longer materials, extend the wings. After use, retract them for easier storage. As for maintenance, always keep the saw clean. Use the dust bag and dust collection ports to minimize dust buildup. Check the blade regularly for wear and replace it if necessary. You can use the onboard hex wrench for blade changes. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and safety. Remember, this kit comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so take good care of it. Avoid overloading the saw. If you notice any signs of overheating, over - discharge, or other issues, stop using it immediately and check for problems.
