SECTION E: CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW DW007
3. Thread on blade clamping screw firmly by hand to hold washer in position.
(Screw has right hand threads and must be turned clockwise to tighten.)
4. Lightly depress the blade lock (A) while turning the spindle until the blade stops
rotating.
5. Tighten blade clamping screw (clockwise) firmly with the blade wrench.
6. To remove blade, turn off the tool and remove the battery pack. Engage the
blade lock (Pic E2 (A)) and unscrew the blade clamping screw by turning it
counterclockwise with the blade wrench.
7. Retract the lower guard and lift blade off spindle.
NOTE: Never engage the blade lock while saw is running, or engage in an effort to
stop the tool. Never turn the tool on while the blade lock is engaged. Serious
damage to your saw will result.
Blades
A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive
splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback. Recommended blades for
use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local retailer or DEWALT
Service Centre.

EWALT offer a range of thin kerf circular saw blades specifically designed for
cordless 6 1/2” circular saws.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive discs or blades for cutting ferrous (steel) materials,
glass or tile.
WARNING: To minimise the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is
a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the work piece such as wire or nails
can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate tool when proper saw blade guard is
in place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a
clean, sharp blade.
It is a good practice to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp blades are available
while the dull ones are being sharpened (See ‘SAWS-SHARPENING’ in the Yellow
Pages). In fact, many lower priced blades can be replaced with new ones at very
little cost over the sharpening price.
Hardened gum on the blade will slow down the cutting. This gum can best be
removed with kerosene, turpentine or oven cleaner.
Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig. E4 (a) (b) (c) & E5)
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.
2. Hold the saw firmly and loosen
(counterclockwise) the depth
adjustment lever (A) and move
shoe (B) up or down, to obtain the
desired depth of cut.
3. Make sure the depth adjustment
lever have been retightened
(clockwise) before operating the
saw.
For the most efficient cutting action, set
the depth adjustment so that one tooth
of the blade will project below the
material to be cut. (Fig. E5) This distance
is from the tip of the tooth (T) to the
bottom of the gullet (G) 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 Fig. E6.
Lay a piece of the material along
the side of the blade, as shown,
and observe how much tooth projects beyond
the material.
NOTE: When using a carbide tipped blade,
make an exception to the above procedure and
allow a full tooth to project below the material,
as shown in Figure E7.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. E8)
TURN OFF THE SAW AND REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK.
The full range of the Bevel Adjustment is from O TO 45 DEGREES. The quadrant is
graduated in increments of 5 degrees.
On the front of the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism consisting of a
calibrated quadrant and a lever or knob. To set the saw for a bevel cut;
