Miter Lock Adjustment (Fig. M)
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 position. 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 properly, re-lock miter lock handle to a non-detent
miter angle.

Controls
Your compound miter saw has several main controls, which will be discussed briefly here. For
more information on these controls, see the respective sections later in the manual.
Miter Control (Fig. A)
The miter lock lever

and miter detent latch
To miter the saw, unlock miter lock lever
miter detent latch
and set the miter angle desired on the miter scale. Lock miter lock knob by

rotating clockwise until tight. Override the miter detent by rotating the miter detent override
Use of CUTLINE LED Worklight System (Fig. A)
DWs716XPs OnlY
nOTE: The miter saw must be connected to a power source.
The CUTLINE LED Worklight System is equipped with an ON/OFF switch
Worklight System is independent of the miter saw's trigger switch.
The light does not need to be on in order to operate the saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood, turn on the CUTLINE system, then
pull down on the operating handle to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of
the blade will appear on the wood. This shadow line represents the material that the blade will
remove when performing a cut. To correctly locate your cut to the pencil line, align the pencil
line with the edge of the blade's shadow. Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the miter or
bevel angles in order to match the pencil line exactly.
Bevel Lock (Fig. J)
The bevel lock knob
11
allows you to bevel the saw 48° left or right. To loosen the handle and
adjust the bevel setting, turn the handle counter clock wise, the saw head bevels easily to the
left or to the right once the bevel stop override knob
clockwise. Bevel degree markings are on the bottom front of the saw arm.
0° Bevel Override (Fig. J)
The bevel stop override knob
31
allows you to bevel the saw to the right past the 0° mark.
The saw will automatically stop at 0° when brought up from the left. To move past 0° to the right,
pull the bevel stop knob. The stop knob can be locked out by pulling the knob out and rotating
it 180°.
45° Bevel Stop Overrides (Fig. J)
The 45° bevel override levers
are held secure with their attachment screw to prevent
20
inadvertent movement. Use the bit on the blade wrench to loosen the attachment screw. This
allows the slides, to be pulled outward and the saw head to pivot past the 45° mark. Be sure to
retighten the attachment screw when finished.
Crown Bevel Pawls (Fig. J)
When cutting crown molding laying flat, your saw is equipped to accurately and rapidly set
a crown stop, left or right (refer to Instructions for Cutting Crown Molding Laying Flat and
Using the Compound Features). The crown bevel pawl
adjustment screw. The saw is factory set to be used for typical crown in North America (52/38),
but can be reversed to cut non-typical (45/45) crown. To reverse the crown bevel pawl, remove
the retaining screw, the 22.5° bevel pawl and the 33.9° crown bevel pawl. Flip the crown bevel
pawl so the 30° text is facing up. Reattach the screw to secure the 22.5° bevel pawl and the crown
bevel pawl. The accuracy setting will not be affected.
22.5° Bevel Pawls (Fig. J)
Your saw is equipped to rapidly and accurately set a 22.5° bevel, left or right. The 22.5° bevel
pawl
41
can be rotated to contact the crown adjustment screw.
Head Lock Down Pin (Fig. A)
WARNING: The lock down pin should be used ONLY when carrying or storing the
saw. NEVER use the lock down pin for any cutting operation.
To lock the saw head in the down position, push the head down, push the head lock pin
and release the saw head. This will hold the saw head safely down for moving the saw from place
to place. To release, press the saw head down and pull the pin out.

OPERATION
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.
WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders must wear eye protection
that conforms to ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3).
Plug the saw into any household 60 Hz power source. Refer to the nameplate for voltage. Be sure
the cord will not interfere with your work.
Body and Hand Position (Fig. N1–N4)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position
as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of
a sudden reaction.
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting
easier, more accurate and safer. Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than
4" (100 mm) from the blade. Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting.
Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE
PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS ARMS, AS SHOWN IN FIGURE N3.
Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you move the miter arm
left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. Sight through the guard
louvers when following a pencil line.

Trigger Switch (Fig. O)
To turn the saw on, push the lock-off lever
saw will run while the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full operating speed
before making the cut. To turn the saw off, release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before
raising the saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A hole
