DeWalt N136651 Spare Part - SPRING TORSION

DeWalt part N136651 — Torsion Spring (original DeWalt)

A small, heavy‑duty torsion spring that provides the return/tension action for the pivot/lever assembly on DeWalt 250mm mitre saws. It’s the coiled spring with two wire legs that sits on the pivot shaft and engages the mitre‑saw lever to keep the guard/lever returning to its home position.

Fits/compatibility (examples): DCS778 (mitre saw) and multiple DWS778 mitre‑saw variants (listed by type on DeWalt parts diagrams). On exploded parts drawings for the DCS778 the spring appears as item 231 (part N136651) next to the pivot shaft and mitre chop‑saw lever.

Why this part matters: when the torsion spring is bent, broken, missing or worn the lever or guard can hang, bind or fail to return properly — replacing this exact DeWalt N136651 restores the designed tension and alignment without modifying the saw.

Note: match the tool’s model/type label (for example “DCS778 Type 1” or the corresponding DWS778 type) to the parts diagram for exact fitment before installation.
