What Tradies Want — August-September 2017

can be transported around the job site with

a minimum of fuss and without the likelihood

of a compressed spine.

The mitre and bevel controls are a breeze

to use and make it fast and simple to change

from one set up to another. New quick-release

bevel-stop settings give accurate and simple

setting of bevel angles up to 49 degrees left

and right, and the new cam-action mitre lock

allows the user to quickly adjust mitre angles

between zero and 50 degrees left and zero

and 60 degrees right.

Getting maximum support when cutting

large material is always important and the

large, dual-sliding fence ensures all the

support the operator needs, along with

outstanding dust control and deflection away

from the cutting area. An electronic speed

control allows excellent control of blade

speed for the cutting of different materials.

ALL UP

All in all, we’re thoroughly impressed with not

just the power that has been achieved with

the 2x54V XR Flexvolt battery system, but

also the features and thought that’s gone into

this saw. The overall build quality and intuitive

way the features have come together make

this a standout from DeWA LT.

to this type of saw, but so is durability, so

of the tool. DeWALT also includes a three-
year warranty with this beastie, so it’s really
standing behind this product.

MAKE THE CUT
Getting a saw onsite and set up can
sometimes be tricky, especially when
having to navigate scaffolding and awkward
access. But the compact and lightweight
design of the DeWALT delivers a saw that
