A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw shoe so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower blade guard retracting lever, retract the
lower blade guard to an upward position. Lower the
rear of the shoe until the blade teeth almost touch the
cutting line.
4. Release the lower blade guard (its contact with the work
will keep it in position to open freely as you start the
cut). Remove your hand from the lower blade guard
retracting lever and firmly grip the auxiliary handle
shown in Figure Q. Position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface
before starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its
shoe rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw
along the cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to
stop completely before withdrawing the blade from
the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat the above steps.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
Lubrication
Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in the
tool and relubrication is not required. However, it is
10
recommended that, once a year, you take or send the tool
to a service center for a thorough cleaning, inspection and
lubrication of the gear case.
Electric Brake (DWE575SB)
Your saw has an automatic electric brake which is designed
to stop the blade from coasting in about two seconds, after
5
you release the trigger switch. It is useful when making
certain cuts in wood where a coasting blade would result in
a wide, imprecise cut.
Occasionally, the brake will not function properly and
won't stop the saw in the 2 seconds discussed above. If this
condition persists, turn the saw on and off four or five times.
If the brake still does not stop the blade in about 2 seconds,
the problem may be worn brushes. Have the brushes
