I have a Makita LS1214L 12" sliding miter saw with laser. After this model was released, Makita offered the LS12414FL - the same saw but also included a fluorescent light. Makita has an exploded view of the tool but does not provide a wiring diagram. Before I purchase the light, etc., and open the tool, I'd like to see what the wiring entails.
Can anyone offer help, advice on this. Makita service is not helpful on this issue. Thanks very much.
