Hi
I’m just wondering if anybody else is having a problem with the dewalt flexvolt 12” mitre saw? The problem I have come across is when the power adapter is used with a dust extractor. When the vacuum is switched to tool mode it starts straight away and will not turn off, the saw still works but to stop the vacuum you have to turn it off manually (will not shut off as supposed to). The vacuum is fine it works with all other corded tools.
Any information will be appreciated.
Cheers
Michael
I havent heard of this issue before. I have the saw but use it in cordless mode so I haven’t had a chance to rest vac activation.
Does it have a timer where the vacuum remains in for 10 seconds after the saw is shut off?

Hi mate thanks for the reply, yes that’s what happens with all my other tools.
Not With the dewalt saw tho, when it is shut off the vacuum stays on.

Thanks for the reply mate, if you ever try it out. Let me know how you go.
cheers
Have had three of these saws, all have had a problem and the final one blew up , gone back and I’ve had a full credit.
worked fine with batteries, then when power pack was connected it sounded awful,.
when 110 v power pack was connected it wouldn’t work with festool hoover, found out that a standard 110 v transformer wasn’t powerful enough to run both( useless)
save your money, Dewalt haven’t got it right, shame really as I’ve had the old models before and they were fine
