User questions & answers

Question:	does it come with battery & charger
Answer:	Let me see what the headline is that we all read ... DEWALT DCS391B 20-Volt MAX Li-Ion Circular Saw, Tool Only. Well ........... I guess it is just the saw (because it saws tool only) or .... it comes with 50 chargers and 300 batteries. YOU decide.
Question:	Which hard case is sold to protect and store this saw
Answer:	I threw out all my Dewalt hard cases many years ago. The tools just barely fit and all 15-20 cases looked the same and served no purpose.
Question:	I have this saw and need to cut a 6ft piece of Caesarstone. Is there a blade that would work with this saw to cut my stone
Answer:	It definately will do a good job. 5" mason blade. I wouldn't do it daily if it's your job but a bathroom or 2 is fine. I've done 5 bathroom jobs and work with wood daily. Use fhis little guy a lot from ripping siding to decking to studs. Still works great. I use a bigger corded worm drive for roofs and tearing into sub floor. Also 4 of the bathroom jobs were 1/2" rock and 1 was 1/4". I did probably 30 bathrooms with my 18v. It was a drag when the nicads would run down. Hope that helps.
Question:	Will the De Walt batteries 20V Max lithium ion 1.5 ah and charger i have for my drill set work with this
Answer:	If you're going to use it a lot in a work session, you should get a 5.0 amp-hour battery or two. But they're pricey. A kit with two 5.0 AH batteries plus a beefy charger to fast-charge a 5.0 can set you back more than $200. Just don't expect a lot of cuts out of a small 1.5 AH battery. I have an new DeWalt 20v impact driver that came with two 2.0 AH batteries, and they last a long time. By the time I've used up one battery, the other has completely recharged (~30 minutes). But don't expect 30 minutes of saw use on a 2.0. If you want to use it a bunch, my advice is to get at least one 5.0 AH. (Note batteries are described both in volts and in amp-hours. If you get a 20v tool, you must stick with 20v batteries. But the capacity of the battery is measured in amp-hours, or Ah. The answer posted in 2013 incorrectly referred to them as 1.5v, 2.0v, 3.0v, and 4.0v. They meant Ah, not v.

User questions & answers

Question:	What’s the difference between this and the XR model
Answer:	Hi Steve, The XR on tools means Brushless. DCS565B (B) bare tool/tool only. The XR on batteries are the same as MAX (extended runtime) Logo change.
Question:	Is this saw compatible with the Kreg Rip-Cut
Answer:	Don’t know. Check with Kreg or Rockler or Woodcraft
Question:	Will it accept 18v batteries
Answer:	18v batteries would not be compatible with this tool.
Question:	Will this saw good for ripping 2x4 wood. The engine looks bigger that old version
Answer:	The maximum cutting depth at a 90 degree angle is 2 1/8 and the maximum cutting depth at a 45 degree angle is 1 5/8. A 2x4's actual dimensions are 1 1/2 by 3 1/2 so it would be able to cut from a 90 degree or a 45 degree angle.

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:	Where is it made
Answer:	Made in China. However, quality control is excellent, and it cut well out of the box with minor adjustments. I do have a complaint, though. As a right handed carpenter, the dust chute dumps into my boots when I wear shorts in the summer. Having said that, it is the saw I most frequently grab for...
Question:	Can someone please confirm it is made in Japan
Answer:	It is a Japanese company, they even make battery bikes, I believe they have the largest selection of battery items. Tools etc.
Question:	What blade comes on this saw. How many teeth etc
Answer:	So, we have several of these saws...They come with a 6.5" 24 tooth blade typically. When it is time, we replace the original with Diablo 24 tooth blades (About $10 ea.). We have experimented with higher tooth counts, but the extra teeth just seem to cause more friction rather than a better cut. We really like these cordless circular saws!
Question:	What is the cut depth when set at 45 degrees ? Or will it cut a 2" x 4" when it's set at a 45 degree angle
Answer:	No it will not cut through a 2x4 on a 45 degree angle , it leaves about 1/8" uncut
Question:	These saw comes with carry bag
Answer:	No, I don't remember a carry bag coming with the saw.
Question:	Incluye cargador
Answer:	Yes.. the charger is incluid
Question:	Does it have a diamond arbor
Answer:	Hello, This model has a standard circular arbor. Thank you for your inquiry!
Question:	I just received it. Is it normal that there is no blade in the package? do you have a recos on which blade to buy? I am cutting redwood pieces
Answer:	A blade should have been with the saw. If you received a manual, find the customer service number, talk to them and they should make it good. As far as what blade to buy, if it is 6-1/2", it should work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it made in Japan
Answer:	The manufacturer's label clearly states that it is made in China. Most of my Makita tools purchased over the last five years were made in China. While I have seen a number of issues with complex products made in China (primarily reliability issues), I have not seen any such problems with Makita tools. I suspect that Makita rides herd sternly on their Chinese manufacturers.
Question:	What's the difference between this bss610z and the homedepot xss02z
Answer:	Home Depot has nothing to do with it, they just sell it. The XSS023Z is a newer version and is equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating and the BSSA610Z isn't, the XSS02Z is also a little lighter.
Question:	Does anyone know what's the black metal bar that looks like the T in the box is for? It doesn't say anything in the manual
Answer:	By inserting it into the slots in your saw you can cut straight pieces under 10" in width without marking your board. This accessory should be pictured in your owners manual.
Question:	Does it come with a battery and charger, what about the blade? and what kind of warranty
Answer:	I bought mine "bare tool" as I already had the basic starter kit: drill/driver and impact driver which comes with two batteries and the charger. It comes with a 6 1/2" blade (which are readily available at Depot or Lowes) and I think it's got a two year warranty. Used mine all day today cutting pressure treated 2x6's; never missed a beat.
