Mitre saw DeWALT DWS774

The DeWALT DWS774 mitre saw is a compact, mains-powered compound mitre saw designed for accurate crosscuts, bevels and angled cuts. It is equipped with a 1400 W motor delivering up to 4500 RPM and a 216 mm blade diameter, providing the cutting power and speed needed for a wide range of wood and construction materials. The saw features a machined base and fence for improved accuracy, integrated positive mitre stops and an XPS shadow line cut indicator that aligns the blade without adjustments. Improved dust extraction and a head lock function make setup, transport and trim work more convenient.

Advantages

The powerful 1400 W motor and 4500 RPM no-load speed combine to deliver efficient cutting performance across common site materials while the 216 mm blade ensures clean, precise edges. The XPS shadow line indicator provides instant visual alignment for faster setup without calibration. Machined base and fence surfaces increase repeatable accuracy for demanding applications, and the improved dust extraction helps keep the workspace clearer. A head lock for safe transport and fixed left/right fences with scales enhance material support and measurement control.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting and bevel cutting of timber and engineered wood
• Mitre cuts for skirting, architrave and frame work
• On-site joinery and renovation tasks requiring portability
• Trim and finish work where accurate repeatable cuts are needed

How to use

Position the DeWALT DWS774 on a stable, level surface and connect to a suitable AC power supply. Secure the workpiece against the fixed fences and select the required mitre and bevel angles using the mitre mechanism and bevel adjustment; use the integrated positive stops for common angles. Use the XPS shadow line to align the blade with the cut line without mechanical adjustment. Start the saw, allow the blade to reach full speed, then make steady, controlled cuts while maintaining firm support of the workpiece. Use the head lock for safe transport or when performing trim cuts that require restricted traverse movement.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a blade appropriate to the material being cut and ensure the work area is clear of debris. Connect a compatible dust extraction system to the saw’s dust port to maximise the improved extraction performance. Follow all safety instructions, wearing eye, hearing and respiratory protection, and allow the blade to stop fully before making adjustments or moving the tool.
