The Makita GSL03M1 40V max XGT® Brushless 10-Inch Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit offers rapid and seamless cutting. Its rail-forward design gives you more workspace when placed against a wall. With a large 2-13/16” x 12” cutting capacity at 90 degrees, it can handle various materials. The saw can miter from 0° to 60° left and right and bevel from 0° to 48° (both left and right). The efficient brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently, extending the tool's lifespan. The extension wings allow for cutting longer materials and can be retracted for easy storage. An electric brake boosts productivity. This saw is equipped with Auto-start Wireless System (AWS®) technology. AWS® uses Bluetooth® for wireless communication between the tool and a separate dust extractor. When you engage the trigger of the GSL03M1 with AWS, the dust extractor powers up; when you release the trigger, it powers down. This intelligent system eliminates cords and excessive noise. XGT is a comprehensive system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers using 40V max lithium-ion batteries. It's engineered to provide high power for high-demand jobs, enabling a complete transition to a cordless job site. XGT features advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability. The kit includes a miter saw, a battery, a charger, a vertical vise, a triangular rule, a miter saw blade, a hex wrench, and a dust bag. It offers many features like a Makita-built brushless motor delivering 3,600 RPM for fast cutting, digital communication in XGT® optimizing performance for up to 2X longer power under heavy load, and active monitoring to protect against overload, over - discharge, and overheating. There are also soft starts, electric brakes, easy - access bevel angle locks, and more. The XGT® Rapid Charger has a dual - fan design for fast charging and a digital display showing the battery charge level. It comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, and only genuine Makita® Batteries and Chargers should be used.
Using the Makita GSL03M1 miter saw is easy. First, make sure you've charged the battery properly and inserted it into the saw. Place the saw on a stable surface. You can adjust the miter and bevel angles according to your cutting needs. The positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left and right make it easy to set the angles accurately. If you have the AWS - compatible dust extractor and the Auto - start Wireless Transmitter (sold separately), you can enjoy wireless dust extraction. Just engage the trigger, and the dust extractor will start working. When cutting longer materials, extend the wings. After use, retract them for compact storage. For safety, always wear safety glasses and follow the operating instructions. Don't overload the saw. Only use genuine Makita® Batteries and Chargers to ensure the best performance and avoid damage. To maintain the saw, keep it clean. Wipe off any dust or debris after each use. Check the blade regularly for wear and tear. If the blade is dull, replace it with a new one. Store the saw in a dry place. The XGT® Rapid Charger should also be kept in a dry environment. Charge the battery only when it's needed and avoid over - charging. The charger's built - in chip will help control the charging process, but it's still good to be careful. The saw, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita customer service.
