DeWalt 661454-00 Spare Part - SPRING

DeWalt part 661454-00 — Mitre-saw return (torsion) spring

Restore the lower blade-guard’s smooth, reliable return action with this original DeWalt torsion/return spring (part no. 661454-00). Made from steel in a compact coil form, it replaces a fatigued or broken guard spring to bring back predictable guard movement and safer, more accurate cuts.

Typical fitment (examples)
Direct replacement for a range of DeWalt mitre/compound saws — examples include DW704 and DW705 series, DW706/DW706E, DW715, DW716 (and DW716E / DW716EXPS variants), DW717 / DW717XPS, DW718 / DW718XPS, and larger sliding models such as DWS780 and DHS780. Use this part when the guard does not return cleanly, feels loose, or has uneven resistance.

Notes and cross-references
This spring is listed under DeWalt replacement part references such as N034013 , so you may see those cross‑references in parts lists. Installation is straightforward — the spring fits around the guard/hinge pivot and typically only basic hand tools (pliers and a screwdriver) are needed to replace it.

If the guard on your saw isn’t returning consistently, this original DeWalt spring restores the intended tension and guard action so the saw operates safely and accurately.
