Guard Actuation and Visibility
The blade guard on your saw has been designed to
automatically raise when the arm is brought down and to
lower over the blade when the arm is raised.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or
removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw. NEVER
RAISE THE BLADE GUARD MANUALLY UNLESS THE SAW IS
TURNED OFF.
NoTE: Certain special cuts will require that you manually
raise the guard. The front section of the guard is louvered
for visibility while cutting. Although the louvers dramatically
reduce flying debris, they are openings in the guard and
safety glasses should be worn at all times when viewing
through the louvers.
Automatic Electric Brake
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake
which stops the saw blade within 10 seconds of trigger
release. This is not adjustable.
On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to
brake engagement. On rare occasions, the brake may not
engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop.
If a delay or "skipping" occurs, turn the saw on and off 4 or 5
times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by an
authorized D
WALT service center.
e
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it
from the kerf. The brake is not a substitute for guards or for
ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your complete
attention.
Brushes (Fig. A)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn off the tool and disconnect it from
the power source before attempting to move it,
change accessories or make any adjustments.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging the tool,
removing the motor end cap
cap that holds the spring-loaded brush assembly. Keep
brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always
replace a used brush in the same orientation in the holder
as it was prior to its removal.
Use only identical D
WALT brushes. Use of the correct grade
e
of brush is essential for proper operation of electric brake.
New brush assemblies are available at D
centers. The tool should be allowed to "run in" (run at no
load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes. The
electric brake may be erratic in operation until the brushes
are properly seated (worn in). Always replace the brush
inspection cap after inspection or servicing the brushes.
While "running in" DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE LOCK
THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY.
OPERATION
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.

WALT service
e
Plug the saw into any household power source. Refer to the
nameplate for voltage. Be sure the cord will not interfere
with your work.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic
conditions in terms of table height and stability. The
machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a
good overview and enough free surrounding space around
the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without
any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment
temperature is not too cold, machine and accessory is
well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for
this machine.
Prior to Operation
WARNING:
•
Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use
excessively worn blades. The maximum rotation
speed of the tool must not exceed that of the
saw blade.
•
Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
•
Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
•
Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
•
Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles
are tight.
•
Secure the workpiece.
•
Although this saw will cut wood and many
nonferrous materials, these operating instructions
refer to the cutting of wood only. The same
guidelines apply to the other materials. Do not cut
ferrous (iron and steel) materials or masonry with
this saw! Do not use any abrasive discs!
•
Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the
machine if the kerf slot is wider than 0.4" (10 mm).
Switching On and Off (Fig. W)
A hole

is provided in the on/ off switch
of a padlock to lock the tool.
1. To run the tool, press the on/off switch
2. To stop the tool, release the switch.
Fig. W
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating
the mitre saw will make cutting easier, more accurate
and safer.
•
Never place your hands near the cutting area.
•
Place your hands no closer than 6" (150 mm) from
the blade.
