NOTE: The guide groove of the fences can become
clogged with sawdust. If you notice that it is becoming
clogged, use a stick or low pressure air to clear the guide
groove.
WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and
bystanders must wear eye protection that conforms to
ANSI Z87.1. (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC BRAKE
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade
brake which stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of
trigger release. This is not adjustable.
On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to
brake engagement. On rare occasions, the brake may not
engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop.
If a delay or "skipping" occurs, turn the saw on and off 4 or
5 times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by
an authorized DEWALT service center.
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it
from the kerf. The brake is not a substitute for guards or for
ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your complete
attention.
GUARD ACTUATION AND VISIBILITY
The blade guard on your saw has been designed to auto-
matically raise when the arm is brought down and to lower
over the blade when the arm is raised.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or
removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw. NEVER
RAISE THE BLADE GUARD MANUALLY UNLESS THE
SAW IS TURNED OFR
NOTE: Certain special cuts of large material will require
that you manually raise the guard. See page 11.
The front section of the guard is Iouvered for visibility
while cutting. Although the louvers dramatically reduce
flying debris, they are openings in the guard and safety
glasses should be worn at all times when viewing
through the louvers.
MITER LOCK ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 10)
The miter lock rod should be adjusted if the table of the
saw can be moved when the miter lock handle is locked
down. To adjust, put the miter lock handle in the up posi-
tion. Using a 3/32 hex wrench, loosen the set screw (W)
on the pivot pin. Using a slotted screwdriver, adjust the
lock rod in 1/8 clockwise turn increments to increase the
lock force. To ensure the miter lock is functioning proper-
ly, re-lock miter lock handle to a non-detent miter angle.
Tighten set screw.
Brushes
DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool,
removing the motor end cap (Fig. 2), lift the brush spring
and withdraw the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean
and sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used
brush in the same orientation in the holder as it was prior
