Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig.I)
The bevel angle adjustment mechanism
8
can be adjusted
between 0° and 57°.
To achieve better accuracy in cutting, use the fine adjustment
markings located on the pivot bracket

stop at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of these is the desired
angle, retighten the lever
7
by lowering it. If you desire another
angle, continue tilting the base plate until the coarse bevel
pointer
23
or the fine pointer
21
aligns with the desiredmark.
Cut Length Indicator (Fig.J)
The markings on the side of the base plate show the length of
the slot being cut into the material at the full depth of the cut.
The markings are in increments of 5mm.
Mounting and Adjusting the Parallel Fence

Mounting the Dust Extraction Spout
(Fig.A,F,L)
Your DWE575 circular saw is supplied with a dust
extractionspout.
To Install Dust Extraction Spout
1. Fully loosen depth adjustment lever
17
.
2. Place base plate
9
in the lowestposition.
3. Align the left half of the dust extraction spout
26
over
upper blade guard
13
as shown. Be sure to insert the tab
into the casting notch on the tool. When installed correctly,
it will snap fully over the original depth of cutpointer.
4. Align the right-hand piece with theleft.
5. Insert screws and tightensecurely.
Using the Kerf Indicator (Fig.M)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator for vertical and
bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along
cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The indicator
lines up with the left (inner) side of the saw blade, which makes
the slot or "kerf" cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the
indicator. The notches on the base plate indicate 0˚ and 45˚.
Prior to Operation
• Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly. The saw
blade guard must be in closedposition.
• Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of the arrow
on theblade.
• Do not use excessively worn sawblades.
