I was not aware of this.  I just read up on DWS7085 on the Dewalt website.  Tomorrow I'm buying one.  Thanks KJONES!  You are responsible for ending several years of annoyance for me due to the laser.  Now what to do with this laser?

[Mr. Yellow]

A few questions. The US model has a little knob for the detent override to adjust the miter setting. My saw doesn't have this. Is this an US only feature?
 
Also, all DeWALT mitersaws here have this safety feature below the on/off switch. This is to avoid pushing a running saw down by mistake. It's a lever which you automatically push when placing your hand on the handlebar and the switch. I never see this on the US models...

As far as the "knob" by the detent override, I don't know for sure what you are talking about.  On the US model, there is a little "lever" thing that you can engage to override the detent stops, but I don't know if that is on the EU model or not.

As far as the safety switch, the US model has a whole in the trigger that accepts a lockout key, satisfying US regulations.  If you have a button or switch that is separate from your operating switch, than that means that it was needed for regulatory purposes.  Hope that helps!

[Mr. Yellow]

Thanks.
Yes, I mean the little lever to engage the override. The EU model doesn't have this.

Just what I thought. The safety lever must be for regulation purposes. Was thinking of unscrewing it because it's easier to operate without. But in the event of an accident this might become problematic so I'll best leave it as is.

Does anyone know if a new 10" version is in the works? I have a 708 and although very nice it's dust collection is non existent and buying 12" blades is $$$
