Dust Extraction (Fig.DD)

WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dustmask.
A dust extraction port
34
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.
Rafter Hook (Fig.A)
(Included with some models)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
do not use the tool's rafter hook to hang the tool from your
body. DO NOT use the rafter hook for tethering or securing
the tool to a person or object during use. DO NOT suspend
tool overhead or suspend objects from the rafterhook.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from the circular
saw falling on operators or bystanders, make sure it is
supported securely when using the rafter hook, or resting
in a secure and stable location when not in use. Be sure
to keep the area below clear to reduce the risk of the
tool or off-cut material falling and striking someone or
somethingbelow.
The circular saw has a convenient rafter hook
4
that allows it
to hang on a suitable, stable structure between uses. The rafter
hook is not for tethering or securing the tool to a person or
object during use whenelevated.
MAINTENANCE
Your
DeWALT
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.

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.
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 centre for a
thorough cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gearcase.
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.
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.
Base Plate Adjustment (Fig.E,BB,CC)
Your base plate has been factory set to assure that the blade is
perpendicular to the base plate. If after extended use you need
to re-align the blade, follow the directions below:
