B. Green lumber (material freshly cut or not kiln dried)

C. Pressure treated lumber (material treated with preservatives or anti-rot chemicals)

5.USE OF DULL OR DIRTY BLADES

Dull blades cause increased loading of the saw. To compensate, an operator will usually push harder which further loads the unit and promotes twisting of the blade in the kerf. Worn blades may also have insufficient body clearance which increases the chance of binding and increased loading.

6.LIFTING THE SAW WHEN MAKING BEVEL CUTS

Bevel cuts require special operator attention to proper cutting techniques – especially guidance of the saw. Both blade angle to the shoe and greater blade surface in the material increase the chance for binding and misalignment (twist) to occur.

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 Additional Safety Instructions 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 all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic 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.

Electric Brake (DW369 Only)

Your saw has an automatic electric brake which is designed to stop the blade from coasting in about two seconds, after you release the trigger switch. It is useful when making certain cuts in wood where a coasting blade would result in a wide, imprecise cut.

Occasionally, the brake will not function properly and won’t stop the saw in the 2 seconds discussed above. If this condition persists, turn the saw on and off four or five times. If the brake still does not stop the blade in about 2 seconds, the problem may be worn brushes. Replace the brushes as described below and try the saw again. If the problem still persists, have the tool serviced at a DEWALT certified service center.

Repairs

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by a DEWALT factory service center, a DEWALT authorized service center or other qualified

DW369, DW367 specifications

The DeWalt DW367 and DW369 are two powerful tools in the extensive lineup of DeWalt’s woodworking and construction equipment. Designed with durability and performance in mind, these models deliver impressive features and advanced technologies to cater to both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.

The DeWalt DW367 is a lightweight, cordless saw designed for versatility and ease of use. One of its primary features is its high-performance 18V battery, which offers extended run time and rapid charging capabilities. This allows users to work longer without the interruption of frequent battery changes. The DW367 is equipped with a powerful motor that generates sufficient speed and torque, enabling it to cut through various materials, including wood, metal, and composites, with precision.

One of the standout technologies integrated into the DW367 is its ergonomic design. The saw comes with a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during prolonged use, making it ideal for extensive projects. Additionally, the built-in LED light illuminates the cutting area, ensuring accuracy and visibility even in low-light conditions. The tool also features a tool-free blade change system, allowing users to switch blades quickly and efficiently without the need for additional tools.

On the other hand, the DeWalt DW369 is engineered for more demanding tasks. This model boasts advanced electronics that provide overload protection, preventing the motor from overheating and extending the tool's lifespan. It also offers a higher cutting capacity, making it suitable for thicker materials and more intricate cuts.

A notable characteristic of the DW369 is its adjustable bevel and depth cut features. These allow users to make precise bevel cuts and adjust the depth of the cut according to the material being worked with. This flexibility is essential for professionals who require accuracy and versatility in their work.

Both models leverage DeWalt's commitment to safety, incorporating an electric brake that instantly stops the blade upon disengaging the switch, minimizing the risk of accidents. Furthermore, each tool comes with a robust housing that enhances durability, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of job site conditions.

In summary, the DeWalt DW367 and DW369 are exemplary tools that combine power, versatility, and safety. With their advanced features and reliable technologies, both models can meet the diverse needs of users, making them invaluable additions to any workshop or job site. Their focus on user comfort and operational efficiency speaks to DeWalt's dedication to quality and innovation in the power tools industry.
