how and where do you install this light on the scrool saw
1852718
light comes with bracket to go on rear right side of body, you will see to holes to mount it to.

As you face the saw, on the left side at the very back of the arm there are two holes 1" apart. This is where the light is secured to the saw.

There are screws on the upper side of the saw. Remove those, place the light's mount into place, and return the screws through the mount into the original holes.

Yes, a nice bright one. Unfortunately, I have mine set up in a stand. With the blade vertical, it casts a shadow over my cut line and I find this very annoying. I wish there was some way to turn the light off other than releasing the trigger. I get around this problem by setting up a halogen desk lamp next to the saw and adjusting it to counter the shadow. I' sure this would not be an issue using the saw freestyle as it was designed, I just prefer having it full time in a stand because it is so darn convenient .... I use mine every day, wish I could say the same about some of my other tools. Yes, a nice bright one. Unfortunately, I have mine set up in a stand.

I used a 1 3/4 inch hole saw. The bezel is 1 15/16. I initially tried a smaller hole but with the springs that hold the light in place, it wouldn't clear the hole.

I assume your reference to "bore the holes" means the ceiling holes through which the light is to be installed. That is simple and the spring clamps work well. The light itself is connected to it's small control box on a short cable with a connector. I placed a small (single gang) plastic electrical box close to each light location as the wires provided are very short. Code says any wiring connection should be in an electrical box, so if the wires are there, put the little light control box in a (new?) junction box, connect two wires with small twist connectors and cover. Then install the light in the hole and plug in to the short cable connector. This is repeated at each light location. (I had three) I think this is simple. If you have never wired anything perhaps help from a friend is in order? Hard to judge for another, what is simple ?

Not sure on the type but mine has a sticker on it saying it "Accepts DEwault Miter saw XPS cross cut positioning LED work light system (DWS7085)". I am guessing that'd accomplish the same thing? In my opinion the laser is a gimmick, you can bring the blade down prior to your cut and see EXACTLY the spot the blade will hit.

From looking at the installation instructions on the internet I find that the wire attachment board screws that the sensor wires go to white and gray and the light wires go to the same terminals. The white from parking light to the 'white' screw nearest to the gray position and the white/black stripe wire goes to the gray screw. At least that where my lasar light is connected to on my Craftsman opener.

From what I've seen in woodworking stores, it doesn't look like it... But they may have NOS (new old stock) that doesn't reflect any improvements. A bigger issue now, than the light not holding itself up, is finding a replacement filament bulb, which is technology that's on it's way out. There are numerous clamp-on flexible neck LED and Halogen work lights sold on amazon for propane BBQ grills, that can be readily adapted for use with the DeWalt saw. If I can't modify my light to use a different light source, I'm seriously considering scraping it for one of the BBQ lights.

Hi there, I didn't want a LED light system so I don't miss it. My drill press came with one, but it's basically useless so I removed it. Dunno if the ones for miter saws are better.

Take the wrench out of its holder and loosen up bolt holding the blade. You will have to engage the blade stop that is located on the front side of the saw. Remove the bold and blade and then to install a new blade just reverse this procedure making sure you install the blade in the correct rotation.

It has a bracket connecting to the light, with a bolt washer and nut to mount

It's turned on by centrifical force. Turning the saw on turns the light on.

The black thing on the end screws right on the dremel. you need to take off the end of the dremel tool as for the saw you have to use your own tools to replace it.

Yes. It is fairly easy. Just follow directions carefully when setting the laser so that you "tune" in all angles. Be careful you do not strip out the threaded holes on the saw blade guard while installing laser as the castings on the Dewalt saws, in my opinion > are junk. Also, if you have a problem with the plastic guard rubbing against the laser you'll have 2 choices: Take the saw to a Dewalt repair shop or put washers between the guard and the shield. I used washers. If I had to do it over again, I would NOT install the laser. I rarely even use it.

All this takes to install, is one screw. Can not remember if it came with the screw or not.. Easily done. Decide location, get a screw driver and screw it in. And this light is quite a bit more than I thought it was going to be. Don't get me wrong, it is not a spot light. It gets the job done.

I mounted the solar panel to the exterior of my wood fance using a L shape braket and screwed the light on the inside of the wood fence, you can get creative!

You will need to get a weather tight box to make the connection to the pig tail supplied with the light . The pig tail is too short to attach a standard three prong plug to it. Mount the light on the back of the box with 2 each self tapping screws into the blank hole in the back of the die cast section of the box . Use a standard 4x4 box screw a 1/2 inch cord grip in the back of the box. The pig tail will just barely fit. The n make the splice inside the box and use another cord grip to attach the cord for the three prong plug.

By screws of sticky back tape. Your choice. Best light if you don't have an outlet nearby. Only comes on in dark and only with motion. Good price too
