Cutting Crown Moulding (Fig. A, Z, AA)
Your mitre saw is well suited to the task of cutting crown moulding. In order to fit properly,
crown moulding must be compound mitred with extreme accuracy.
Your mitre saw has special pre-set mitre latch points at 31.62° left and right for cutting crown
moulding at the proper angle and bevel stop pawls at 33.86° left and right. There is also a
mark on the bevel scale 16 at 33.9°. The chart below gives the proper settings for cutting
crown moulding.
nOTE: Pretesting with scrap material is extremely important!
Instructions for Cutting Crown Moulding Laying Flat and Using the
Compound Features (Fig. Z)
1. Moulding should lay flat with the broad back surface down on the saw table
2. Place the top of the moulding against the fence
3. The settings below are for 45° sprung crown moulding.

Alternative Method for Cutting Crown Moulding
Cutting crown moulding using this method does not require a bevel cut. Minute changes in
the mitre angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. When corners other than 90°
are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for them.
Instructions for Cutting Crown Moulding Angled Between the Fence and
Base of the Saw for All Cuts (Fig. AA)
1. Angle the moulding so the bottom of the moulding (the part which goes against the wall
when installed) is against the fence 15
table 61 .
2. The angled "flats" on the back of the moulding must rest squarely on the fence and
saw table.

Special Cuts

WARNING: Never make any cut unless the material is secured on the table and
against the fence.
Aluminum Cutting (Fig. BB, CC)
ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR
CUTTING ALUMINUM.
Certain workpieces may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement during the
cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as shown in
Figure BB. Figure CC illustrates the wrong way to cut these extrusions.
Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax directly to the
saw blade 47 before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade. The wax provides
proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.
Bowed Material (Fig. DD, EE)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure DD and never like that
shown in Figure EE. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade.

Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED OR
HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important when
making angle cuts.
Cutting Large Material (Fig. FF)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the lower
guard. If this occurs, place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard
guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in Figure FF. Avoid doing this as much
as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE,
TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
Dust Extraction (Fig. A, HH)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and remove
the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,
cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carcinogenic, especially
in connection with wood-treatment additives.
• Always use dust extraction.
• Provide for good ventilation of the work space.
• It is recommended to wear an appropriate respirator.

CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless a dust bag or D
in place. Wood dust may create a breathing hazard.

CAUTION: Check and clean the dust bag each time after using.

WARNING: When sawing aluminium, remove the dust bag, or disconnect the dust
extractor to avoid the risk of fire.
Your mitre saw has a built-in dust port 25
nozzles) or direct attachment to the D WALT AirLock (DWV9000-XJ)
e
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
To Attach the Dust Bag
1. Fit a dust bag to the dust port 25 .
To Empty the Dust Bag
1. Remove dust bag from the saw and gently shake or tap the dust bag to empty.
2. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This will not affect cutting
performance but will reduce the saw's dust collection efficiency. To restore your saw's dust
collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap
it on the side of the waste bin or dust receptacle.
External Dust Extraction
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a
special dust Class M vacuum cleaner.
connecting to an AirLock compatable Dust Extractor (Fig. HH)
The dust port 25 on your mitre saw is compatable with the D
system. The AirLock allows for a fast, secure connection between the dust extractor hose and
the mitre saw.
1. Ensure the collar on the AirLock connector
collar and AirLock connector as shown for unlock and lock positions.
2. Push the AirLock connector onto the dust port
3. Rotate the collar to the locked position.
nOTE: The ball bearings inside collar lock into slot and secure the connection.The mitre
saw is now securely connected to the dust extractor.
MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and remove
the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,
cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO NOT touch the sharp
points on the blade with fingers or hands while performing any maintenance.
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic
guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain chemicals.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
Before use, carefully check the upper guard, lower guard and dust duct to determine that they
will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particles do not block of one of
the functions.
