DeWalt DWS780 user manual

Yes, the Dewalt DWS780 does have an integrated XPS crosscut positioning system, which features an ultra-bright LED light that casts a shadow of the blade onto the material being cut, providing an accurate alignment guide without the need for a laser.

There could be several reasons why your Dewalt miter saw is not working. Here are a few common issues and troubleshooting steps you can take:
1. Power supply: Ensure that the saw is properly connected to a working power outlet and that the power cord is not damaged. Try plugging in another device to confirm that the outlet is functioning.
2. Motor not running: If the saw does not turn on or the motor does not start, check the power switch to make sure it is in the "on" position. Also, examine the power cord and connections for any signs of damage or loose connections.
3. Tripped circuit breaker: If the saw initially starts but then suddenly stops, it could be due to a tripped circuit breaker. Check the breaker box and reset any tripped breakers. If the breaker continues to trip after resetting, there may be an electrical issue with the saw that requires professional attention.
4. Blade-related issues: If the saw turns on but the blade is not spinning or cutting properly, first ensure that the blade is securely tightened. If it is loose, tighten it following the manufacturer's instructions. Additionally, check the blade for any signs of damage or wear. If necessary, replace the blade.
5. Safety features: Some miter saws have safety features, such as blade guards or safety switches, that need to be engaged properly for the tool to work. Make sure you are following the correct operational procedures, including using any required safety features, as outlined in the user manual.
If you have tried the above troubleshooting steps and your Dewalt miter saw is still not working, it may be best to contact Dewalt customer service or a professional technician for further assistance.
