Makita's current product information identifies the GSL04M1 as the 4.0Ah kit and lists the above primary specifications.
Large Cutting Capacity
The saw is designed for substantial crosscutting work, with a 3-5/8 x 15-inch maximum capacity at 90°. It can also handle crown molding up to 8 inches when vertically nested and baseboard up to 6-3/4 inches vertically, making it well suited to finish-carpentry applications.
Dual-Bevel and Miter Adjustments
The dual-bevel mechanism allows the blade to tilt 48° to either side, while the miter table adjusts from 0° to 60° left and right. Positive stops are provided at common angles including 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60°, helping speed up repetitive angled cuts.
Accurate Shadow-Line Cutting
Instead of relying solely on a conventional laser line, the saw uses an LED shadow-line system that casts the blade's shadow directly onto the material. This creates a visible cutting reference that helps the operator position the workpiece accurately.
Cordless XGT Performance
The 40V max XGT system is designed for high-demand cordless applications. The GSL04's brushless direct-drive motor delivers 3,600 RPM while eliminating the belt used in belt-driven miter saw designs. Makita also incorporates electronic controls intended to optimize power delivery and protect the tool against overload, over-discharge, and overheating.
AWS Wireless Dust Management
The GSL04M1 is Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) capable. When paired with the appropriate optional AWS transmitter and compatible dust extractor, Bluetooth communication can automatically start and stop the extractor with the saw, helping reduce unnecessary cords and improve dust-management workflow.

- Makita GSL04 40V max XGT 12 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw
