MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.
Dust Extraction(Fig.I)
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation.To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dustmask.
A dust extraction port
22
is supplied with yourtool.
The dust extraction port allows you to connect the tool
to an external dust extractor, either using the AirLock™
system(DWV9000‑XJ), or a standard 35mm dust
extractorfitment.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed
in compliance with the applicable directives regarding
dust emission when sawing wood.Vacuum hoses of most
common vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the dust
extractionoutlet.
Pocket Cutting (Fig.Q)
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket
cutting. This may cause the saw to raise up off the work
surface, which could causeinjury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flatsurface.
1. Adjust the saw shoe so the blade cuts at desireddepth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material
to becut.
3. Using the lower blade guard retracting lever, retract the
lower blade guard to an upward position. Lower the rear of
the shoe until the blade teeth almost touch the cuttingline.
4. Release the lower blade guard (its contact with the work
will keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
Remove your hand from the lower blade guard retracting
lever and firmly grip the auxiliary handle
12
, as shown in
FigureQ. Position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback if itoccurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before
startingsaw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its shoe
rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along the
cutting line until cut iscompleted.
7. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to stop
completely before withdrawing the blade from thematerial.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat the abovesteps.
Optional Accessories
WARNING: Since accessories, other than those offered
by
DeWALT
, have not been tested with this product, use
of such accessories with this tool could be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, only
DeWALT
recommended
accessories should be used with thisproduct.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriateaccessories.
Lower Guard
The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from
a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct
operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and letting
it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely, it will need
cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it functions
correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft brush to
remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the path of
the guard and from around the guard spring. Should this not
correct the problem, it will need to be serviced by an authorised
servicecentre.
D
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.
C
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
Ripping (Fig.P)
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more difficult
for this type of sawing and the use of a
DeWALT
rip fence
isrecommended.
DO NOT USE WATER FEED ATTACHMENTS WITH THISSAW.
VISUALLY EXAMINE CARBIDE BLADES BEFORE USE.REPLACE
IFDAMAGED.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
