FAQs

What type of battery does this bandsaw use?

The DeWalt DCS374N-XJ is compatible with the DeWalt 18V XR Lithium-Ion battery platform. Batteries are sold separately.

What is the maximum cutting capacity?

The saw has a maximum cutting capacity of 127mm (5 inches).

Does this tool come with a battery and charger?

No, this is a 'bare tool' listing. Batteries, charger, and case are not included and must be purchased separately.

What blade length is required?

The bandsaw requires a 1140mm length blade.

How do I change the blade?

The tool features a tool-free blade changing system. Open the blade guard, release the blade tension, remove the old blade, insert the new blade (teeth facing forward), and re-apply tension.

Can I use this for wood cutting?

While primarily designed for metal, the bandsaw can cut wood if fitted with an appropriate wood-cutting blade and set to a suitable speed. However, it is optimized for metal applications.

What is the benefit of the brushless motor?

A brushless motor offers increased efficiency, longer run time per battery charge, and extended motor life compared to brushed motors, making it more durable for demanding professional use.

Troubleshooting

Bandsaw not powering on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for debris.

Blade is not cutting straight

Adjust the blade tracking using the tool-free adjustment knob. Ensure the blade is correctly tensioned and not damaged.

Blade keeps slipping off

Verify the blade is properly seated in the guides and tensioned correctly. Check for worn blade guides.

Slow or poor cutting performance

Ensure the correct blade type is used for the material. Check for dullness or damage to the blade. Clean any debris from the cutting area and motor vents. Select an appropriate speed setting.

Overheating motor

Ensure air vents are clear of debris. Do not force the tool; allow the motor to cool if necessary. Check that the battery is functioning correctly.
