It offers optimum balance for safe, fatigue-free operation and features an additional handle for safe two-handed work. The saw is directly compatible with the DEWALT AirLock system for easy, secure connection to an extraction hose. A dust blower clears dust and debris from the cut line, and an LED work light improves visibility of the cut line. Other user conveniences include an on-board rafter hook, blade LED, and on-board tool storage. This circular saw is suitable for roofers, concrete form workers, kitchen fitters, shop fitters, plumbers, electricians, joiners, carpenters, general builders, landscapers, and boat builders. Its applications include trimming roof battens, formwork, window/door shuttering, fitting sheet/flooring, laying decking, sizing stud timber, fitting fire board panels, and sizing OSB/plywood panels. This package includes a Tstak Case and is a bare unit, meaning the battery and charger are not included. DeWalt 18v XR tools featuring DeWalt Flexvolt Advantage technology include a new electronic module that recognizes Flexvolt batteries to deliver more power than standard 18v XR batteries. These machines can draw more current and adjust power output accordingly, resulting in significantly more power when used with a high-performance XR FLEXVOLT battery pack compared to a standard 18v battery. These new machines also include new brushless motors with stronger magnets and increased copper.
