The newest brushless tool in the Makita range, the cordless Slide Compound Mitre Saw DLS714, is powered by 2x 18v Li-ion batteries to supply enough energy to the powerful 36v DC Brushless motor drive system. By using the high powered 36v DC Brushless motor, it enables the user to achieve a cut as fast as if you were using a corded slide compound mitre saw. With its lightweight design, not only does it take up less space when in use, it can easily be transferred from job-site to job-site with no issues. Makita offer a new feature to make this Mitre Saw stand out even more - Automatic Torque Drive. This allows the machine to automatically change the cutting speed according to the load condition, giving the user the best cut at the best operational speed possible.
