The GSL04 Miter Saw delivers faster and smoother cutting. With a rail-forward design, a large 3-5/8” x 15” cutting capacity at 90-degrees, mitering from 0° to 60° left & right, and beveling from 0° to 48° (left and right), it maximizes the workspace when positioned flush against a wall. The efficient brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer tool life, with a direct drive that delivers 3,600 RPM for faster cutting performance, with no belts to slip or replace.
OUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor delivers 3,600 RPM for faster cutting performance
OUTSMART: The digital communication within XGT® optimizes performance to provide up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applications
OUTLAST: The digital communication within XGT® actively monitors and protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating
Extra large 3-5/8” x 15” cutting capacity at 90°; cuts up to 8" crown molding (vertically nested) and 6-3/4" baseboard (vertical)
Bevels 0-48° left and right; Miters 0-60° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left and right
Extension wings for cutting longer material; retractable for more compact storage
Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
Electric brake for maximum productivity
Bevel angle lock and release knob at front of tool for easy access and repositioning
L.E.D. light casts a shadow of the saw blade onto the material as an exact cutting line
Auto-start wireless System (AWS®) utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless on-off communication between the tool and dust extractor
AWS® capable with Auto-start Wireless Transmitter (part no. 198901-5) sold separately
Convenient on-board hex wrench for fast and easy blade changes
