BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENTS
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
1. With the saw bevel adjustment set on 90°, retract the blade
guard and place a straight edge guard against the inside of the
blade.
Motor
Your DEWALT tool is powered by a DEWALT motor. Be sure your
power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC/DC
means your saw will operate on alternating or direct current. Lower
voltage can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All
D
EWALT tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate,
check the power supply.
Brushes
DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVIC-
ING
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the
Brush Inspection Cap (Fig. 2) and withdrawing the brush assem-
bly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always
replace a used brush in the same orientation in the holder as it was
prior to removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped
into their sides, and if either brush is worn down to the line closest
to the spring, they must be replaced. Use only identical D
EWALT
brushes. New brush assemblies are available at your local service
center. The tool should be allowed to “run in” (run at no load with-
out a blade) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes.
While “running in” DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE LOCK
THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY.
