Using the Makita XSL07Z miter saw is easy. First, make sure you have two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion batteries (sold separately) installed. Turn on the saw and use the built - in laser to line up your cut. You can miter the saw from 0° to 60° left and right and bevel it from 0° to 48° left and right. Use the positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° for accurate miter cuts. When cutting, let the Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjust the speed and torque for the best performance. Remember to use the dual dust collection ports to keep your workspace clean. For maintenance, regularly check the blade for wear and tear. If it gets dull, replace it with a new 12 - inch 60T Carbide - Tipped Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blade. Keep the saw clean and lubricated, especially the 2 - steel rail sliding system. Store the saw in a dry place when not in use. Always follow safety guidelines, like wearing safety glasses and keeping your hands away from the blade. And make sure to charge the batteries properly using Makita chargers to get the most out of them and extend their life.
