      Answer This Question

      Yes, a left-handed person can use this saw.

      By|Feb 13, 2026

        Yes but it's dangerous and you'll probably only have one hand left.

              Will this saw work with the 20 volt Max Preium 5ah battery? https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-20V-MAX-Premium-Lithium-Ion-5-0Ah-Battery-Pack-DCB205/205227130

              Answer This Question

              No, The DCB205 5AH battery doesn't work with this DCS578 because this saw is 60V and the 5AH battery is 20V. Use only FLEXVOLT batteries with this DCS578.

                No must be a 60 volt. 60 volt batteries will work with 20 volt tools but 60 volt tools will only work with a 60 volt battery.

                  The DCS578B is compatible with the DEWALT FLEXVOLT 20/60V MAX batteries.

                  By|Apr 26, 2025

                    The battery must be a FlexVolt type. Operates on 60 volts.

                      where was this made? you answered "The DCF889B is made in Mexico." but dcf889B is not a flexvolt battery, so what do you refer to?

                      Answer This Question

                      We apologize for the confusion. The DCS578 60V MAX* Brushless 7-1/2 in. circular saw is manufactured in China. The DCB609 FLEXVOLT® 9.0Ah Battery is manufactured in South Korea. We are proud of our global manufacturing operations, and we remain a strong manufacturer in the U.S.

                        Best Saw I Have Ever Owned!
                        I bought my saw several years ago and it is still going strong. I have had many circular saws before but this Dewalt is the best I have used. The saw itself is well made and extremely well balanced. I have used it for many project and have not once had an issue. The battery on this saw outlasts me and will not leave a job half done. I have many Dewalt tools, and they have all done for better than my expectations. Thank You Dewalt!

                          I’ve only used the battery once. It delivered more than enough power. If there’s one downfall, it’s that it made the saw a little heavy. I’m using this battery with a 7 1/4 inch circular saw. So if you have to do cuts where you hold the salt up in the air, it is a little difficult. Other than that it’s great, I store it with the red cap on it to keep the cells separate. I also bring it in out of the extreme cold, extreme hot to lengthen its life. The charger is very fast and gets it back up and ready in no time great product!

                          I thought this was a great promotion. I have several 60 Flex tools in which these are required however they also work really well with the 20V tools providing extended run time and performance. Black Friday and the holiday season in general are a great time to pick up not only new tools but as in this case an opportunity to buy additional consumable items like batteries, saw blades and drill bits. Well certainly on the high side of affordability, this BOGO deal was an opportunity to get that extra battery while also getting a saw I had wanted at a great price.

                          Better then a corded circular saw
                          All I have to saw is WOW, absolutely worth the money to get the 60v instead of the 20v, I’ve used both and the 60v is by far superior, I made 100 or more cuts and the 60v battery didn’t even go down a bar!! And the power is sooo good you can cut through a 2x12 like it’s butter, don’t listen to the bad reviews, there’s always gonna be a few duds and like everyone I was skeptical to buy but this product is 100% worth the money

                            A monster
                            This saw crosscuts and rips faster than my blue corded saw. I like the easy-to-read sole plate, with the zero mark corresponding perfectly to your cut line, The saw is hefty, but well balanced so it doesn't wear you out. The sawdust chute on the side works well and your work area isn't covered with flying dust. I cut all the lumber for a 4 x 6 floating deck and screwed the boards together with the same fully charged 9 ah battery and the fuel gauge showed I still had three bars. Love this saw!

                              Why no Rip Fence
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the saw, extremely frustrated there's no rip fence!!

                                Very impressed with this saw
                                I was tired of my corded circ saw even though it was a Bosch(really nice saw) and wanted something that would come close to the power of what I already had. I have other Dewalt products and they perform well but this is my first cordless. So far it has exceeded my expectations. It cut all of the wood in the picture on one charge. Small cuts but there are hundreds of them. Solid cutting from the first to the last. While probably not for everyone, I think this is going to be perfect for my needs.
