Adjustable Shoe (Fig. 9)
CAUTION: Cut hazard. To prevent loss of control, never use tool
without shoe.
Your DCS380 comes with an adjustable
shoe. The shoe will adjust to limit the depth
of cut. Hold the saw with the underside
facing up. Push the button on the hand
grip and slide the shoe out to one of the
three settings and release the button.
Cutting (Fig. 10–13)
WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders
must wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING: Exercise extra caution when cutting towards operator.
Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Before cutting any type of material, 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. Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be
held firmly against the material being cut (Fig. 10). This will prevent
the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage. Any
cuts which put pressure on the blade such as angle or scroll cuts
increase potential for vibration, kickback, and blade breakage.

WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay
particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from
view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and debris ahead of time.
WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water pipes,
or electrical wires before making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do
so may result in explosion, property damage, electric shock, and/or
serious personal injury.
