Accessories

WARNING: Since accessories, other than those
offered by DeWALT, have not been tested with this
product, use of such accessories with this tool could be
hazardous. To reduce the risk of injury, only DeWALT‑
recommended accessories should be used with
thisproduct.

Blades
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the
saw motor, excessive splintering and increase the possibility
of kickback. Change blades when it is no longer easy to
push the saw through the cut, when the motor is straining,
or when excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is a
good practice to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp
blades are available for immediate use. Dull blades can be
sharpened in mostareas.
Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene,
turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti‑stick coated blades
can be used in applications where excessive build‑up is
encountered, such as pressure treated and greentimber.
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.
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
