Don't Purchase this saw

Purchased in October 2014. Saw was delivered and the air hose was broken. Contacted customer service and a replacement was provided. Saw worked great for 1 month then the switch failed. Contacted Delta Customer Service and had the saw in for warranty work locally. Instead of having the the new switch delivered to the service center Delta mailed the switch to my home address. It took over two weeks to have the saw repaired (Not the warranty center fault). Finally got the saw repaired and returned on December 8, the saw has worked great for 2 weeks. The switch failed again December 21.

I'm disappointed with the saw and I'm looking to upgrade to a saw that is more reliable.

I bought this saw but it's going back.  I can't get the shoe to stay at 90 degrees to the blade.  I read about a similar problem with one of their cordless models.  I don't see anything obviously wrong but, it uses a fairly crude sleeve with a t-shaped slot for the base pivot and allen screw to clamp and hold the blade vertical or by sliding the base back moves the slot so the allen is in the cross slot of the T section.  When moved forward to what should be centered vertically the blade is out of vertical by a few degrees.  It's not massively out of square but it is visible to the naked eye and when checked with a square.  May just be a problem with this particular saw but, doesn't look like a very robust design.  It's a shame the rest of the saw looks to be very good quality and runs smooth.  I didn't even try cutting with it.  It would probably only be a 1/32 of an inch off on 1/2 inch ply but, it's hard enough to get straight cuts with a jig saw.  I don't need one that starts off out of vertical.  Maybe being over critical but, it doesn't look right.

I would avoid this product.  We have not yet been able to use this brand new chainsaw since it was broken from the moment it arrived which was November 23, 2015.  I am writing this on March 10, 2016 and we still do not have our chainsaw back.  We took it to an approved repair shop to have it repaired and it took THREE MONTHS for the needed part to come in.  Once the replacement part came in, the shop found that the chainsaw still will not run and is trying to get Poulan to trouble shoot the issue.  We now have to take it to another shop of Poulan's choice.  We are out the money on the chain saw and also several hundreds of dollars on the wood for our wood stove to heat our home that we did not expect to have to spend since we bought a brand new chainsaw.  This is horrible.  Stay away from this brand.  Customer service is awful.  I don't think it is right to take a customer's money and not provide the product that was promised which was a RUNNING chain saw.  This chain saw NEVER ran from the moment it hit our doorstep last NOVEMBER.  It never touched one tree trunk.  We should be due our money back but we are refused.

After reading the descriptive information and other information about this saw online, I felt this saw would be the perfect compliment to my current tools to make simple cuts.  Boy, was I wrong.  After setting the saw up and working with it for 2-3 weeks, I find it is totally useless.  It does not cut easily or straight.  You have to exert SO MUCH pressure on the board to push it through the blade AND the saw vibrates so severly while cutting anything that I'm afraid I'll slip and actually cut myself while cutting something.  I even switched out the blades with a higher-end blade (Bosch T234X Progressor) to no avail. The arm that actually holds the blade is very un-sturdy and sways back/forth while cutting.  The fence is flimsy and almost impossible to fasten down straight because the guides are very hard to see.  The saw is actually made out of molded plastic (which I knew) but I thought it would be more durable that it is.  I feel like I gave it a good try, but am left with utter disappointment on my purchase.  Unfortunately, I do not think I can return this item because my husband inadvertently tossed the box.  If I had the box, it would be on it's way back to Amazon.  Don't waste your money like I did.  I'l probably end up tossing mine because I wouldn't want to give it to any else.

An excellent saw - for as long as it worked.  When it stopped working - after about 2 hours of not too strenuous use - it would mp longer start when plugged in.  I called to find out that my only choice was to fix (maybe a blown fuse?), I was told that my only option was to return for a refund, that no repairs were possible, and that there is NO MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.  Big surprise, big disappointment.  Will go back to one of the lesser quality, but American options.  Husqvarna 316E

I used the saw once on some not so thick tree branches. Essentially for pruning. The bar split down the middle. Very cheap. I am hoping the product is under warranty from the seller. I hope VMinnovations stand behind their refurbished products they sell!

the screws provided are not the proper head size or the holes are not sized correctly. The screw heads do not fit flush thus preventing the proper grip on the saw blade

I bought this damn thing thinking I could tune it up for hobby furniture building (simple bookshelfs, picnic table, garden boxes, ect) . The first thing I noticed was the fence had a ridge on the far end rendering it unusable and dangerous(kickback)! I called customer service and Dewalt replaced it no questions asked. 2nd, the miter sled had close to 1/8 of slop in the slot (they wouldnt replace it and referred me to a Dewalt service center 2.5 hours away). So, I bought an aftermarket miter with zero slop ($130), and tuned up the saw (blade to the miter slot, and fence to the blade). After a few hours of tuning, everything was absolutely square.  However, when I made test cuts they weren't square. It took many frustrating hours of measuring, retuning, reading, retuning, watching you tube videos, and retuning before I realized the top is not flat, and the miter slots are not straight!... they were off enough that I wouldnt suggest using this saw for any purpose, even roughcutting a fence... it was off enough to keep me from buying another Dewalt product.

I purchased this wg305 14 inch model at walmart after being a bit sceptical about the reviews and..... The reviews don't lie.

The box states the saw can cut up 28inches. I tried to cut a 11 inch tree and after every cut i had to take the chain tensioner off and put it back on. The auto tensioner was not working.

After 5 cuts, the saw started to smoke. After inspection, the bottom of the chainsaw motor was melting out the bottom.

i immediately returned the chainsaw back to walmart and the manager returned it with no questions and stated they would file a fire hazard complaint about the device.

I've owned many DeWalt tools and I'm typically the first to brag about their durability. DeWalt missed the mark on this tool, it flat out sucks. The blade release mechanism stopped functioning correctly after about a dozen uses. The tool is also quite underpowered, it's not difficult to overwhelm the motor and way too many vibes. I will not be purchasing another DeWalt reciprocating saw anytime soon. Truly not a "contractor" grade tool, might be suitable for H.O. use. DeWalt can have this one back. Spend your money elsewhere.

I'm not sure if I can purchase power tools on Amazon again after my experience. This saw made me so frustrated I smashed it and I don't normally get frustrated easily. The saw wouldn't cut anything. It constantly would stop after cutting an inch of plywood. Save yourself the time, headache and effort. Go to Lowes and buy a Dewalt. I was sent a dud from Amazon and you might to.

Cut a lot of wood and flooring with this cheap saw; the cuts were never precision but usable. Blade that came with the saw finally dulled to the point the motor would labor during a cut so I ordered a high-dollar 80-T blade on Amazon. When I went to remove the old blade I ran into not one, but two screws that were a headache. The first screw had to be cross-cut across the head in able to get a meaty flat blade screw driver to work as the puny Phillips notches only resulted in stripping the head of the screw. It finally came out. Next screw was the bolt that actually held the blade in place so that I could change it. It required far more torque than merely using an Allen wrench in the end of the motor to scotch it. I used a small screw driver inserted through a small hole in the blade in order to keep it from turning. After trying a basic box wrench with no luck I moved up to a 1/2-inch drive with a breaker bar. Screw finally started to give and then broke off. Saw is now in the trash as it is not usable. Junk. I will buy a better saw, this time, even though I will use it very infrequently. Shame on Delta! I feel very generous giving this device even two stars but they are for the service it provided, not the problematic servicing of the unit.

I ordered one of these and the body was out of square (i.e. it would rock back and against the fence and base of miter saw).  The result was 45degree cuts didn't add up to a 90degree corner (due to the 1/8" that the body was out of square).  I am sure that if I would have adjusted miter saw to produce a compound angle cut I could have fixed it, but that would defeat the whole purpose of purchasing the jig.

I ordered a replacement and received it promptly.  Unfortunately, it too was out of square!

i just got this today at target (first mistake, i always get my electronics and everything thru amazon, but i was in a rush to finish a project.  unfortunately, i don't think i'll be able to finish it because this saw simply will die mid-sawing--even when it's plugged in.  at first i thought the battery was dying, but even when i plug it in, it starts off strong, then dies.  i'm totally returning this...i was stoked on getting my own saw, especially one that is cordless and hand-held, but this is a disappointing--too bad, 'cause i know black and decker makes really good hardware.

Did not work.  I thought it would be ideal, but it ruined my new chainsaw.  I had to replace the saw.  I would never use it again.  I would not recommend it.
