DeWalt DWS779 user manual

As of my knowledge, there is no official confirmation that the DeWalt DWS779 miter saw has been discontinued. However, companies may discontinue certain products for various reasons, such as upgrading to newer models with improved features, adjusting their product line to meet market demands, or simply making room for new releases. It's always best to consult with DeWalt directly or check their official website for the most accurate and up-to-date information on their products.

There could be various reasons why your DeWalt miter saw has stopped working. Here are a few possible causes:
1. Power supply issue: Check if the saw is properly plugged in and the power outlet is working. Try using a different outlet or a different power cord to eliminate this possibility.
2. Tripped circuit breaker: Miter saws can draw a significant amount of power, which might lead to a tripped circuit breaker. Locate your circuit breaker panel and check if the breaker for that specific area has been tripped. If so, reset it and try again.
3. Blown fuse: Some miter saws have internal fuses that can blow if there are power surges or electrical issues. Consult the user manual to locate the fuse and check if it needs replacement.
4. Motor overheating: If you have been using the saw for an extended period, the motor may have overheated, triggering a thermal overload protection system. In such cases, let the saw rest for a while and cool down before attempting to use it again.
5. Faulty switch or trigger: Inspect the on/off switch or trigger of the saw for any damage or malfunctioning. If you suspect an issue, it’s recommended to have it checked by a professional or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
6. Motor or internal component failure: If none of the above solutions work, there may be an internal mechanical or electrical issue with the miter saw. It is advisable to contact DeWalt customer support or take the saw to a certified DeWalt service center for further inspection and repair.
Remember to prioritize safety when diagnosing and fixing power tools. If you are unsure or uncomfortable handling the situation yourself, it is always recommended to seek professional help.
