Thanks for the review. The rip fence you listed does not fit the DCS391, according to the description and Q&A on Amazon. It appears that these are the 3 items that are needed. Fence #381091-00, Spring #58287-00 and Knob #396992-02.
Dave Schreiner Thank you so much for the info I just haven’t had a chance to look into it but that seems a little sucky all that for a simple rip fence. Looks like that’s a thumbs down on Dewalt not making it more simplified. But good to know I appreciate that information and thank you for viewing
I have the same saw I've used it on job sites and it bounces around in the back of my truck for 3 years now and the allen wrench is still attached to it, I had the same worry about it falling off but so far I've had good luck with it
The 7.5 inch version has the angled markings and detents in the 0, 22.5, and 45 degree marks that you wish this one had. I guess they think the contractors will have the bigger saw and need those.
ZEUS0080 you are welcome congrats on your new saw. Its so nice not to worry about a courd. I find myself using this more & more. My poor reliable Skill saw is getting dusty. Thanks for viewing.
viivan morrell you are welcome. I'm honored to help just a little FIY the rip guide doesnt fit as i origanilly thought. it turns out you have to buy 3 items Fence #381091-00, Spring #58287-00 and Knob #396992-02.the only thumbs down on this saw. Thanks for viewing
Good review, I use this saw and battery kit whenever I need cuts. I like my Kobalt corded 7-1/4" a lot because of the higher RPM and LED light but, hauling around an extension cord and dealing with an 11lbs saw is tiring. The cordless we use is just so much better for moving about and it's pretty slick on making joints too. I just do multiple cuts after adjusting the blade height and use my speed square like a chisel. I need a chisel lol.
Micheal Melton thank you. I have to say I use this more and more. My corded Skill saw is collecting dust lately. so easy to grab this and cut. Take a moment and go buy a chisel your speed square will thank you. LOL thanks for viewing.
i ran mine with the 18V 1.3Ah Battery - there is no power in the cut and it is empty after a few minutes. Is that better with new batteries (20V or even 54V)?
Martin W you definitely need a 20V 5ah battery or more to optimize this circular saw. Anything less will do just what you’re having issues with, no power and runs out quickly. I think even in the directions it calls for a 5 ah battery
Joni English Thank you but unfortunately the rip fence isn't what I thought. A viewer found out it actually take 3 different items to configure it. His comment is as follows, "according to the description and Q&A on Amazon. It appears that these are the 3 items that are needed. Fence #381091-00, Spring #58287-00 and Knob #396992-02." I was not aware it too 3 different parts to complete a rip fence for this saw. Luckily for me I never use them. I make my own track type saw guide to use when I need to have a more accurate cut.
oscar c. its really personal preference. I wanted something lighter and compact but yet still able to tackle my needs. This fit that for me. I have my corded Skill saws (7-1/4") for the big jobs that are more demanding, this fills the need for the rest.
I have the same saw. when I brought mine it came with the rip fence, but I brought the saw only, yours may be because it was part of a deal they were not in the box ( they got to cut costs some ware lol )
dusty fog you may be right but this was a bare bones tool only. you may of had an upgraded kit but it stinks they don't have an guide for this. One of the viewers found you have to but 3 items for it to work. the guide i had noted doesn't work. Bad DeWalt. Thanks for the info and thanks for viewing

I bought one a week ago and have been using it like crazy,
Perfect for my RV projects,
Very thorough review, nice work but most of all I love when you hid behind the boxes in the beginning. I am glad I SAW this video. Thanks Brotha
Dale Fanella you are welcome. Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for viewing.
Thank you for amazing review! Helped me with my new Dewalt Saw!
Galina Hoppe You are very welcome. Congrats on the new toy(tool). I know you will enjoy it and do some great projects.
Another great thorough review. Thank you! DeWalt should be paying you sir.

ricky reliford wow, I would never of guessed. That’s good to know. I’m glad it withstood the test of time. Thanks for the info.
And the plastic blade guard hasn't broken? Must be tough plastic.
Cordless is the way to go buddy. Time for these old school work horses to be put on display for future generations

Speculation waffle on the Allen key mines still stays there perfect after a year of use

thank you. I'm by far a pro but i can give my unbiased opinion strait forward review. Thank you for viewing.
Can you cut a 45°on a 2x4 with it?
Herbert Herbo Moore i double checked and yes 1-1/2" is the thickest it will cut at a 45
No dust bag port for it😓
Great review
