DWE397-QS

The DeWalt DWE397-QS 1700 W 430 mm Alligator Saw is a professional-grade masonry saw built for high-performance cutting of hollow blocks, aerated concrete (ACC), clay blocks (like Poroton), and insulation materials. With its robust motor and engineered design, this DeWalt alligator saw offers precision, power, and durability, making it a must-have tool for construction sites, renovation work, and heavy-duty block cutting.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Powerful Motor: The 1700 W motor gives the DWE397-QS ample power to cut through class-12 blocks and dense masonry materials.

  • Dual Counter-Rotating Blades: It comes with two long-life saw blades that move in opposite directions. This design helps prevent the material from shifting during the cut, ensuring straight, accurate cuts.

  • Quick Blade Change System: The saw includes an onboard tool and a quick, tool-assisted blade replacement system, minimizing downtime when changing blades.

  • Ergonomics & Handling: Features an over-moulded rear handle and a bale handle, giving superior grip and reducing operator fatigue during long cutting tasks.

  • Dust-Sealed Gearcase: The gearbox and bearings are sealed against dust, which enhances the tool’s longevity even in harsh, dusty work conditions.

  • Safety Lock-Off Switch: Prevents accidental start-up, making it safer on jobsites.

  • Aluminum Housing: The saw’s aluminum gearbox housing reduces weight (to about 5.5 kg) without compromising on strength.

  • Blade Stop Time: The blade stop is quite fast (0.2 seconds), adding to operator safety
