service personnel. Always use identical replacement parts. (Refer to Brushes for brush replacement information.)

Brushes

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.

Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the end cap 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, the brushes must be replaced. Use only identical DEWALT brushes. New brush assemblies are available at your local service center. Always replace the end cap after inspecting or servicing brushes. 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

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.

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 follow the directions below:

ADJUSTING FOR 90 DEGREE CUTS

1.Return the saw to 0 degrees bevel.

2.Place the saw on its side, and retract the lower guard.

FIG. 14

3.Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (L). Place a square against the blade and the shoe as shown in Figure 14.

4.Using a hex wrench, turn the set screw on the underside of the shoe until the blade and the shoe are both in flush contact with the square. Retighten the bevel adjustment lever.

ADJUSTING BEVEL ADJUSTMENT AND DEPTH ADJUSTMENT LEVERS

It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever or the bevel adjustment lever. They may loosen in time and hit the shoe before tightening. To tighten the levers, follow the steps below.

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER (DW368, DW369)

NOTE: The following instructions also apply to adjusting the DW367 and DW368 depth adjustment lever.

1.Using a small screwdriver, pry the lock ring off.

2.Remove the lever and rotate it in the desired direction about 1/8 of a revolution.

3.Reinstall the lock ring with the concave side against the lever.

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.

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.
