DeWalt DCS571 Instruction Manual

For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth
adjustment so that one-half 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F. 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.

Shoe Adjustment for 90° Cuts (Fig. G, H)
If Additional Adjustment is Needed
1. Adjust the saw to 0°bevel.
2. Retract the lower blade guard. Place the saw on
bladeside.
3. Loosen bevel adjustment knob
11
. Place a square
against the blade and shoe to adjust the 90°setting.
4. Turn the calibration screw
19
so that the shoe will stop
at the properangle.
5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the
squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece ofmaterial.
