protect you under all circumstances. Your safety depends on following all warnings and precautions as well as proper operation of the saw. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use as outlined in Additional Safety Rules for Circular Saws. If the lower blade guard is missing or not working properly, have the saw serviced before using. To assure product safety and reliability, repair, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by an authorized service center or other qualified service organization, always using

Blades

WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the workpiece 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.

CAUTION: Do not cut ferrous metals (steel), masonry, glass, Hardiplank® (or similar masonry-type planking), cement board or tile with this saw.

Do not use abrasive wheels or 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 following table to determine the correct size replacement blade for your model saw.

Model Diameter Arbor

DC300 7-1/4" 5/8"

DC310 6-1/2" 5/8"

Use only DEWALT general purpose cutting, smooth wood cutting, or non-carbide plywood/vinyl cutting blades.

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

1.Hold the saw firmly and loosen

(clockwise) the depth adjustment lever (Fig. 9, D) and move shoe to obtain the desired depth of cut.

2.Make sure the depth adjustment lever has been retightened (counterclockwise) 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 Figure 10. 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.
