DeWalt DCS575 Manual

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 hang 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 hang hook ( )
that allows it to hang on a suitable, stable structure
between uses. The hang 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 center 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
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or
other flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw base plate so the blade cuts at
desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the base
plate on material to be cut.
3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade
guard to an upward position. Lower rear of
base plate until blade teeth almost touch cutting
line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the
work will keep it in position to open freely as you
start the cut). Remove hand from guard lever
and firmly grip auxiliary handle (F), as shown in
Figure 27. 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 base plate rests flat on the material to
be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until
cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop
completely before withdrawing the blade from
the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
Dust Extraction (Fig. 30)
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
A dust extraction port (AG) is supplied with yourtool.
The Dust Extraction Adaptor 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.
HANG HOOK (FIG.1)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, do not use the tool's
hang hook to hang the tool from your
body. DO NOT use the hang hook for
tethering or securing the tool to a person
or object during use. DO NOT suspend
tool overhead or suspend objects from
the hanghook.
