User questions & answers

Question:	I am building a panel saw and need a circular saw with an auto on switch. Does this saw have that ability
Answer:	use the switch at the power plug and zip tie it the trigger.
Question:	What is the wattage
Answer:	With an AC motor you can't calculate the wattage by multiplying the voltage by the current (amperage). I won't get into a technical explanation but the peaks in the AC current are delayed from the peaks in the AC voltage. The wattage is equal to the volts X amps X a power factor, which is always less than one. That said, the wattage is really only of interest with respect to how much electricity your're billed for. You need to consider the current to determine whether you are overloading your wiring. The 15 amp specification would be when it reaches it's maximum load. I haven't measured this saw but my 15-amp rated table saw draws 8 amps with no load. I don't really have the means to measure it safely at full load.
Question:	Can the laser be adjusted by the user if it doesn't line up out of the box
Answer:	There is an adjuster toward the back of the laser- a 3/32 allen key can adjust it left or right. Mine moved a bit, probably from the vibration of the saw. I was able to easily adjust it back to straight.
Question:	Does this cut accurately? I bought a cheaper Skil and the cut was off by 1/4" at the base. The laser was off the same too
Answer:	I made some straight cuts in 2" x 4" s and the laser was right on.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a 36 volt lithium Black and Decker battery and charger for my leaf blower, would this work on the 24 volt lithium B&D circular saw
Answer:	No
Question:	Is there a port where sawdust is ejected? My old saw had a port where I could attach a small shop vac hose or bag
Answer:	No, this saw is used for small projects. It really works well for cutting a few things
Question:	How do you install the circular blade on the circular saw? It just doesn ot go in easy after removing the clamp washer & bolt. Is there a trick
Answer:	The trick apparently is to start screaming that it will be returned. I've worked with circular saws for 45 years and have never had this kind of trouble. As a last resort, assuming I was doing something stupid or missing something simple, I came here to the Q&A section. First, I was reassured that I wasn't the only one with the problem. Then I resolved to try again. Finally, the blade slipped in. I don't know how or why, but at least I know it can be done. It just takes 30+ minutes of struggling.
Question:	How do you replace the blade? What is the trick? Any videos available
Answer:	Go to YouTube. Enter Black & Decker 20 volt circular saw and there's a wonderful short 2-minute instructional video. I just installed the blade to my new saw effortlessly after watching this excellent instructional short and sweet video!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this saw use oil
Answer:	Probably, the mounting points are pretty standard across a wide range of reciprocal saws.
Question:	is it made in USA
Answer:	You would just flip the 1/4 round 180 degrees to make the opposing 45deg cut. It's a lot easier with a miter saw, but it can be done with this tool.
Question:	Does it really take 1 to 2 months to get it
Answer:	It did them just fine. The fence tightens down so that it doesn't move. I found that cutting the boards for length was a little less accurate and you had to adjust it a bit. But no problems with ripping. I didn't use the ripstick I just kept my hands on the edge of the fence and slid them through.
Question:	is blade included
Answer:	There is a dust bag that has a tube, not sure if is designed to hook a vacum up to it. The mess is probably depends on what you are cutting.

DEWALT 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Electric Brake

With just 8.8 lbs weight, the Dewalt 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw is light and hence, easy to hold and use. As the saw weighs so less, it gives you the flexibility to maneuver it the way you want getting the toughest job done within minutes. Use it as long as you want, your hands won’t feel a thing and the ergonomic design also makes sure that you get the best finishing post cut.

Power through the toughest tasks like a pro

DEWALT Circular Saw has a 15amp motor that helps you power through the tough wood work task without demanding much manual effort. As the cutting and sawing wood requires a lot of strength, with such a saw you can focus on the finishing rather than worrying about how much time and strength would the job require.

Once the job is done, you do not have to worry about manually switching off the saw. The electric brake stops the blade once the trigger is released.

Perfect Cut, everytime

To ensure that you do not spend much time in getting that perfect cut, the saw comes with an Aluminum smooth base that keeps the saw levelled, minimizing the disturbance during movement.

Integrated parts to ensure ease of usage and durability

It also comes with a specially designed Ball bearing lower guard that provides protection to the equipment and is constructed to withstand harsh conditions. Also, the saw has an inbuilt dust blower that ensures clear line of sight by blowing off dust particles away while cutting.

The On-board blade Wrench Storage provides the much needed storage solution of the blades. When the blades are stacked in specific sections it doesn’t only de-clutters the workspace where the cutting is happening, but also provides ease of locating specific blades at the time of need.
