The saw works fine on the 4 amp hour batteries. I have used it for years. I have on occasion used it with a 2 amp hour if I have a few smaller cuts.
Its a very small saw not meant for large things.

Seems like a great deal if you need batteries and have a 6ah+. Not sure how a 4ah battery would work on a miter saw

The images always say 'free good' I thought it was a typo... but they haven't fixed it months later... this has got to me something I missing.... what it is it?
A few things:
I have the sliding compound 7.25" version of this. I also have a Hitachi 10" and the Dewalt 779 12" sliding double compound, and I jump to this 7.25" when I need small cuts and don't feel like moving the other two. I would highly recommend paying a few extra bucks for the sliding version, though. This non sliding version is very limited in it's use.
It cuts through 2x4's perfectly fine. I have used the 4ah, 4ah HP, and 6ah HP batteries with no discernible performance difference between them. I upgraded the factory blade to an aftermarket finer tooth one. Cuts are precise, but won't be as precise or fast as the $600 Dewalt.
As with any miter saw, when you first set it up, use a right angle to align the blade with both sides of the fence.
Miter saw is tiny. You are basically buying batteries and a very limited use saw.
The limited uses would include door and window casings, regular base-board, quarter-round, shoe-molding, brick-edge, picture frames, 1x2s and 2x4s. Pretty much everything that I ever use a miter saw for.

Why are people giving a thumbs-down to guys like this who give their honest assessment of a saw that can't completely cut through a 2x4?
bc it CAN completely cut through a 2x4. If they can't get the saw to do what it's capable of doing, they should be assessing their own abilities, not the saw's.

On one battery? Vertically? At an angle? This seems like something's wrong with yours if so.
I have this saw and can use any size battery, but I can't cut all the way through a 2x4 with it.
