Product Description
DeWalt DCS397N 54V XR Flexvolt Alligator Saw (Body Only)
The DeWalt DCS397N 54V XR FLEXVOLT Alligator Saw (Body Only) is a heavy-duty cordless saw designed for rapid cutting of aerated concrete, clay block, timber and insulation on professional sites. Part of the XR FLEXVOLT range, it delivers 54V performance comparable to corded alligator saws while offering the freedom of cordless operation for work anywhere on the jobsite. A durable brushless motor drives a 430mm bar with dual counter-running blades, providing fast, controlled cuts with reduced vibration and minimal material movement. The 40mm stroke length and high stroke rate support efficient progress on large sections, while the thick, torsion-resistant bar helps maintain accuracy through long cuts. A dust-sealed aluminium gearcase, overmoulded rear handle and front bale handle are optimised for durability and comfortable handling in tough conditions. Safety is enhanced by a lock-off switch and rapid electronic brake. The DeWalt DCS397N 54V XR FLEXVOLT Alligator Saw is supplied as a bare unit, compatible with DeWalt XR FLEXVOLT 54V batteries and does not include batteries, charger or blades.
