Dust Extraction (Fig. A, I)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments, performing any cleaning or maintenance, 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.
Your saw has a built-in dust port
14
bag
37
or a shop vacuum system to be connected.
To Attach the Dust Bag
1. Fit the dust bag
37
to the dust port
To Empty the Dust Bag
1. Remove dust bag
37
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 trash can or dust receptacle.
CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless the dust bag or
D
WALT dust extractor is in place. Wood dust may create a
e
breathing hazard.
Cutting With Your Saw (Fig. A)
If you cannot secure the workpiece on the table and against the fence by
hand (irregular shape, etc.), or your hand would be less than 100 mm from
the blade, a clamp or other fixture must be used. Refer to Clamping the
Workpiece for more information.
If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is pushed back as far as
possible and the rail lock knob
20
from sliding along its rails as the workpiece is engaged.
nOTE: DO nOT cUT METALs OR MAsOnRY WITH THIs sAW. Do not use
any abrasive blades.
nOTE: Refer to Guard Actuation and Visibility in the Adjustments section
for important information about the lower guard before cutting.
Crosscuts
straight cut (Fig. A, G1, G2)
A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any angle. A
straight crosscut is made with the mitre arm at the zero degree position.
Set and lock the mitre arm at zero, hold the wood firmly on the table and
against the fence. With the rail lock knob

When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower the arm
smoothly and slowly to cut through the wood. Let the blade come to a full
stop before raising arm.
When cutting anything larger than a 51 mm x 102 mm, use an out-down-
back motion with the rail lock knob
you, lower the saw head down toward the workpiece, and slowly push
the saw back to complete the cut. Do not allow the saw blade to contact
the top of the workpiece while pulling out. The saw may run toward you,
possibly causing personal injury or damage to the workpiece.
WARNING: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce
the risk of workpiece damage and personal injury, if your hands are
required to be within 100 mm of the blade during the cut.

Mitre cuts (Fig. J, k)
Mitre crosscuts are made with the mitre arm at some angle other than zero.
This angle is often 45º for making corners, but can be set anywhere from
zero to 48º left or 48° right. To mitre the saw, loosen the mitre lock knob
by turning it anticlockwise. Pull up on the mitre lock knob to move the
mitre arm

to the mitre angle desired on the mitre scale
lock knob clockwise to tighten. Make the cut as described above.
When performing a mitre cut on workpieces wider than 51 mm x 102 mm
that are shorter in length, always place the longer side against the fence
(Fig. K).
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood, match the angle
as close as possible. Cut the wood a little too long and measure from the
pencil line to the cut edge to determine which direction to adjust the
mitre angle and recut. This will take some practice, but it is a commonly
used technique.
Bevel cuts (Fig. L1, L2)
A bevel cut is a crosscut made with the saw blade leaning at an angle to
the wood. In order to set the bevel, loosen the bevel lock knob
move the saw to the left as desired. Once the desired bevel angle has been
set, tighten the bevel lock firmly. Bevel angles can be set from 0º right to
48º left.
To set the bevel angle past 45º to 48º,
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob
12
2. Tilt the saw head slightly to slide the bevel override
3. Move the saw head to 48º.
4. Tighten the bevel lock knob.
Quality of Cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables. Things like
material being cut, blade type, blade sharpness and rate of cut all contribute
to the quality of the cut.
When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other precision work,
a sharp (60 tooth carbide tip) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will
produce the desired results.
Ensure that the material does not move or creep while cutting; clamp it
securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising arm.
If small fibers of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece
of masking tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the
tape and carefully remove tape when finished.
For varied cutting applications, refer to the list of recommended saw blades
for your saw and select the one that best fits your needs. Refer to Saw
Blades under Optional Accessories.
Clamping the Workpiece
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments, performing any cleaning or maintenance, or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure
before a cut may become unbalanced after a cut is completed. An
unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the saw is attached to,
such as a table or workbench. When making a cut that may become
unbalanced, properly support the workpiece and ensure the saw is
firmly bolted to a stable surface. Personal injury may occur.
WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the base of
the saw whenever the clamp is used. Always clamp the workpiece to
the base of the saw – not to any other part of the work area. Ensure
the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of the base of the saw.
WARNING: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce
the risk of workpiece damage and personal injury, if your hands are
required to be within 100 mm of the blade during the cut.
