DeWalt DWE560 Manual De Instrucciones página 48

Remember the blade is exposed until this occurs. Never reach under
the work for any reason. When you have to retract the telescoping
guard manually (as is necessary for starting pocket cuts) always use
the retracting lever.
NOTE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that small cutoff
pieces don't hang up on inside of lower guard.
RIPPING (FIG. 17)
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower strips
– cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more difficult for this
type of sawing and the use of D
recommended.
MOUNTING
1. Insert rip guide adjustment knob (X) into the hole (AA) keeping the
knob loose to allow the rip guide to slide into base plate.
2. Insert the rip guide (W) into the base plate (H).
3. Tighten the rip guide adjustment knob (X).
ADJUSTING
1. Loosen the rip guide knob (X) and set the rip guide (W) to the
desired width. The adjustment can be read on the rip guide scale.
2. Tighten the fence adjustment knob (X).

POCKET CUTTING (FIG. 18)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised position. Never
move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This may cause the
unit to raise up off the work surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in
a floor, wall or other flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw foot plate
so the blade cuts at desired
depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest
front of the foot plate on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower guard lever,
retract lower blade guard to an
upward position. Lower rear
of foot plate until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep it
in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove hand
from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary handle (E), as shown in
Figure 18. 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 foot plate
rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting
line until cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
