Makita LS0815FL 1400W 216mm Slide Compound Miter Saw with Laser Guide

Key specs include a 216mm blade capacity, a 1400W high-power motor, dual bevel capability, a slide mechanism for wider material cuts, a built-in laser guide, an ergonomic handle, a compact and lightweight 15.3 kg design, a dust collection system, tool-free angle adjustments, and a durable build for long‑lasting performance.

The laser guide projects a visible cut line onto your material, helping you align the blade precisely with the desired cut. This makes it easier to achieve straight, accurate results, especially for repetitive or repetitive-angle tasks.

Yes. The LS0815FL offers dual bevel capability, allowing bevel cuts in both directions, along with miter cuts. This eliminates the need to flip material and expands your cutting options for complex joints.

The saw is designed around a 216mm blade, providing ample capacity for crosscuts, bevels, and angled cuts on a variety of wood-based materials such as boards, plywood, and trim. Its slide mechanism increases cutting capacity for wider workpieces.

Weighing 15.3 kg and featuring an ergonomic handle, the LS0815FL is designed for easier transport between job sites and workshop setups while still delivering strong cutting performance.

Regularly use the dust collection system to keep the workspace clean, inspect and replace the blade when dull, and periodically check alignment of the fence, miter, and bevel scales to maintain cutting accuracy. Wipe down the housing after use to remove dust residues.

Key safety practices include using the laser guide as a visual aid for alignment, keeping the dust port connected to reduce airborne debris, securing the workpiece properly, and wearing eye and ear protection during operation. Always follow standard tool safety practices for miter saws.

Ideal for cabinetry, trim work, furniture construction, framing tasks, and any project requiring precise crosscuts, miters, or bevels on wood and wood-based materials. The laser guide helps with repeated, alignment-critical cuts.

Place the saw on a stable work surface, connect the dust collection system, install a sharp 216mm blade, align the laser guide with a reference cut, and use the tool-free miter and bevel adjustments to set your desired angles. Verify the fence is square to the blade before making cuts.
