7.RESTARTING A CUT WITH THE BLADE TEETH JAMMED AGAINST THE MATERIAL

The saw should be brought up to full operating speed before starting a cut or restarting a cut after the unit has been stopped with the blade in the kerf. Failure to do so can cause stalling and kickback.

Any other conditions which could result in pinching, binding, twisting, or misalignment of the blade could cause kickback. Refer to the sections on Adjustments And Set-Up and Operation for procedures and techniques that will minimize the occurrence of kickback.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when performing this procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Lubrication

Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in the tool and relubrication is not required. However, it is recommended that, once a year, you take or send the tool to a service center for a thorough cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear case.

Brushes

Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the End Cap (Detail Page 5) and withdrawing 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 to removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped into their sides, and if either brush is worn down to the line closest to the spring, they must be replaced. Use only identical DEWALT brushes. New brush assemblies are available at your local service center. The tool should be allowed to “run in” (run at no load without a blade) for 5 minutes before use to seat new brushes.

While “running in” DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY.

Shoe Adjustment

Your shoe has been factory set to assure that the blade is perpen- dicular to the shoe. If after extended use, you need to re-align the blade as follows:

ADJUSTING FOR 90º CUTS (FIG. 8, 13, 14)

1.Return the saw to 0º bevel.

2.Loosen the bevel adjustment knob (C, Fig. 8). Place a square (M) against the blade and the shoe.

3.Adjust screw (O) until pointer (L) aligns with 0°, then tighten nut

(P).

4.Retighten the bevel adjust knob (C).
