Epson DW935 instruction manual Blades, Cutting Depth Adjustment, Bevel Angle Adjustment

Never turn switch on when blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to your saw will result.

Blades

A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient cutting overload on the saw motor, excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback. Please refer to the table on next page for to determine the correct size replacement blade for your model saw.

Model	Blade	Dia.	Teeth	Application
DW930	DW9055	5-3/8"	16	General Purpose Cutting
DW935	DW9054	5-3/8"	24	Smooth/Finish Cutting
DW936	DW9052	5-3/8"	30	Aluminum Cutting
	DW9053	5-3/8"	78	Thin Material Cutting
DW939	DW9155	6-1/2"	16	General Purpose Cutting
	DW9154	6-1/2"	24	Smooth/Finish Cutting

If you need assistance regarding blades, please call 1-800-4-DEWALT (1-800-433-9258).

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive discs or blades for cutting ferrous (steel) materials, masonry, glass or tile materials.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the work piece such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.

Cutting Depth Adjustment

1.TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.

2.Hold the saw firmly and loosen (counterclockwise) the depth adjustment knob and move shoe to obtain the desired depth of cut.

3.Make sure the depth adjustment knob has been retightened (clockwise) before operating saw.

For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth adjustment so that one tooth of the blade will project below the material to be cut. This distance is from the tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of it. This keeps blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust from the cut, results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of kickback. A method for checking for correct cutting depth is shown in FIG. 5. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown, and observe how much tooth projects beyond the material.

NOTE: When using carbide-tipped blades, make an exception to the above rule and allow only one-half of a tooth to project below the material to be cut.

Bevel Angle Adjustment

The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0˚ to 50˚. The quadrant is graduated in increments of 5˚. On the front of the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism (FIG. 5) consisting of a calibrated quadrant and a knob. To set the saw for a bevel cut:

1.TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.

2.Loosen (counterclockwise) the quadrant knob and tilt shoe to the desired angle by aligning the pointer with the desired angle mark. Retighten knob firmly (clockwise).

NOTE: The quadrant pointer, located between the quadrant knob and the quadrant, can be adjusted after loosening its screw. Retighten firmly after adjustment.

Shoe Adjustment for 90˚ Cuts

If additional adjustment is needed:

1.TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.

2.Adjust the saw to 0˚ bevel.

3.Retract blade guard. Place the saw on blade side.

4.Loosen bevel adjustment knob. Place a square against the blade and shoe to adjust the 90˚ setting.

5.Move the adjustment screw so that the shoe will stop at the proper angle.
