Prior to Operation

WARNING:
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn
blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed
that of thesawblade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively smallpieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do notforce.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles aretight.
• Secure theworkpiece.
• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous
materials,these operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood
only. The sameguide-lines apply to the other materials. Do not cut
ferrous (iron and steel) materials or masonry with this saw! Do not
use any abrasivediscs!
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the
kerf slot is wider than 10mm.
• Placing the workpiece on a piece of wood will increase the
capacities to 300mm.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicableregulations.

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 attention of UK users is drawn to the “woodworking machines regulations
1974” and any subsequentamendments.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms
of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the
operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space around
the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without anyrestrictions.
To reduce effects of increased vibration, make sure the environment is not
too cold, the machine and accessory are well maintained and the workpiece
size is suitable for thismachine.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A)
The lock off switch
30
located on the the on/off trigger switch
1
must be
flipped in order for the saw to turnon.
1. To run the tool, flip the lock off switch
30
and press the on/off trigger
switch
1
.
2. To stop the tool, release thetrigger switch. The lock off switch will
re-engageautomatically.
Use of XPS™ LED Worklight System (Fig. A, R)
NOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a powersource.
The XPS™ LED Worklight System is activated by engaging the trigger or
pressing the XPS button
35
on top of the saw housing.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece ofwood:
1. With the XPS light on, pull down on the operating handle
3
to bring
the saw blade
8
close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will
appear on thewood.
2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade’s shadow. You may
have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order to match the pencil
lineexactly.
Your saw is equipped with a battery fault feature. The XPS™ worklight
begins to flash when the battery is near the end of its useful charge, or
when the battery is too hot. Charge the battery prior to continuing cutting
applications. Refer to Charging A Battery for battery charginginstructions.
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the mitre saw
will make cutting easier, more accurate andsafer.

WARNING:
• Never place your hands near the cuttingarea.
• Place your hands no closer than 150mm from theblade.
• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting.
Keep your hands in position until the switch has been released and
the blade has completelystopped.
• Always make dry runs (without power) before finish
cuts so that you can check the path of theblade.
• Do not cross yourhands.
• Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain properbalance.
• As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly
to the side of the sawblade.
Basic Saw Cuts
Vertical straight cross cut (Fig. A, O)
NOTE: Use 216mm saw blades with 30mm arbor holes to obtain the
desired cuttingcapacities.
1. Slacken the mitre latch
13
and subsequently lift itup.
2. Engage the mitre latch
13
at the 0° position and fasten the mitrelatch.
3. Place the wood to be cut against the fence
16
.
4. Take hold of the carrying handle
3
and press the guard lock up release
lever
2
to release the guard. Extend head of the saw all the wayout.
5. Press the trigger switch
1
to start themotor.
6. Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and
enter the plastic kerfplate
11
.
7. When the head is fully depressed, slowly push it back across to
complete thecut.
8. After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the saw blade
to come to a complete standstill before returning the head to its upper
restposition.

WARNING:
• The lower blade guard is designed to close quickly
when the lever
2
is released. If it does not close within
1 second, have the saw serviced by an authorized
DeWALT
repairagent.
Vertical mitre cross-cut (Fig. A, P)
1. Squeeze the mitre latch
13
. Move the arm left or right to the
requiredangle.
2. The mitre latch will automatically locate at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62°, 45° and
50° both left and right. If any intermediate angle is required hold the
head firmly and lock by fastening the mitrelatch.
3. Always ensure that the mitre lock lever is locked tightly beforecutting.
4. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.

WARNING: When mitring the end of a piece of wood
with a small off-cut, position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to
the side of the blade with the greater angle to the fence, i.e.:
• left mitre, off-cut to the right
• right mitre, off-cut to the left
