Clamping
(Fig. 2)
(DW303)
TO INSTALL BLADE INTO SAW
1. Loosen set screw (B).
2. Insert blade shank (C) from the front between the reciprocating shaft (D) and the blade clamp
(E). Locate hole in blade (F)over pin (G) on reciprocating shaft.
3. Tighten set screw. If the blade should break off and the shank does not come out of the clamp,
be sure the set screw is loose and eject the shank with a nail or pointed object.
.& CAUTION: THE BLADE GUARD IS THERE FOR YOUR SAFETY. DO NOT REMOVE IT.

OPERATION
J_WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect
it from power
source before installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury,
Cutting
with
Blade
in Horizontal
Position
(Fig. 4)
(DW304P,
DWE304,
DWE305)
Installing a blade in the horizontal orientation allows cutting close to floors, walls or ceilings where
limited clearance is available. Ensure that the Blade Guard is pressed against the framing to avoid
kickback.
Flush-To
Cutting
(Fig. 5)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and spindle housing permits extremely close cutting
to floors, corners and other difficult areas.
J_CAUTION: When sawing into walls, floors or wherever "live" electrical wires may be encountered,
DO NOT TOUCH ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic
handle and housing to prevent electric shock if you saw into a "live" wire.
_CAUTION:
Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool
Wood Cutting
(Fig. 6)
Before cutting any type of wood, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping. Place
blade lightly against work to be cut, switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed
before applying pressure. Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting. Whenever possible,
the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from
jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.
Metal
Cutting
(Fig.
7)
This unit has different metal cutting capacities depending upon type of blade used and the metal
to be cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials. In thin
gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides of sheet. This will insure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember not to force cutting blade as this
reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you should spread a thin film of oil or
other coolant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life.
Pocket
Cutting
(Fig. 8)
(Wood
Only)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk or scriber. Insert pocket cutting blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely.
Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is resting on the work surface. Now
switch motor on, always permitting blade to attain maximum speed. Grip handle steadily and begin
a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw. Blade will begin to feed into material.
Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibilty is limited, use the edge of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines for
any given cut should be extended beyond edge of cut to be made.
MAINTENANCE
A WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect
it from power
source before installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury,
