CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL (FIG. 27)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit
beneath the lower guard. If this occurs, place your right thumb on
the upper side of the guard (a) and roll the guard up just enough to
clear the workpiece, as shown in figure 27. Avoid doing this as much
as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the
bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD
OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
SPECIAL SET-UP FOR WIDE CROSSCUTS (FIG. 28A, 28B)
Your saw can cut very wide (up to 409 mm [16.1"]) workpieces when a
special set-up is used. To set the saw up for these workpieces, follow
these steps:
1. Remove both left and right sliding fences from the saw and set
aside. To remove them, unscrew the fence adjustment knobs (m)
several turns and slide each fence outward. Adjust and lock the
mitre control so that it is at 0° mitre.
2. Make a platform using a piece of 38 mm (1.5") thick particleboard
or similar flat strong 38 mm thick wood to the dimensions: 368
x 660 mm (14.5" x 26"). The platform must be flat, otherwise the
material could move during cutting and cause injury.
3. Mount the 368 x 660 mm (14.5" x 26") platform to the saw using
four 76.2 mm (3") long wood screws through the holes (a9) in the
base fence (o) (fig. 28A). Four screws must be used to properly
secure the material. When the special set-up is used, the platform
will be cut into two pieces. Ensure the screws are tightened
properly, otherwise material could loosen and cause injury. Ensure
the platform is firmly flat on the table, against the fence, and
centred evenly from left to right.
WARNING: Ensure the saw is mounted firmly to a stable
flat surface. Failure to do so could cause the saw to be
unstable and fall causing personal injury.
4. Place the workpiece to be cut on top of the platform mounted to
the table. Ensure the workpiece is firmly against the back of the
base fence (o) (fig. 28B).
5. Secure the material before cutting. Cut slowly through the material
using a out-down-and-back motion. Failure to clamp securely or
cut slowly could result in the material coming loose and causing
injury.
After several cuts are made at various mitre angles other than 0°, the
platform may weaken and not properly support the work. Install a new,
unused platform to the saw after presetting the desired mitre angle.
CAUTION: Continued use of a platform with several kerfs
may cause loss of material control and possible injury.
MAINTENANCE
Your DEWALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory
operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-
up can cause injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, DO NOT touch the sharp points on the
blade with fingers or hands while performing any
maintenance.
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the
vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the
guard is subject to attack by certain chemicals.
Brushes (fi g. 1A)
Inspect carbon brushes regularly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely
in their guides.
• Unplug tool, remove the motor end cap (f), lift the brush spring and
withdraw the brush assembly.
• If the brushes are worn down to approximately 12.7 mm (1/2"), the
springs will no longer exert pressure and they must be replaced.
• Use only identical D
EWALT brushes. Use of the correct grade of
brush is essential for proper operation of electric brake. New brush
assemblies are available at D
EWALT service centres.
• Always replace the brush inspection cap after inspection or
servicing the brushes.
• The tool should be allowed to “run in” (run at no load) for 10
minutes before use to seat new brushes. The electric brake may be
erratic in operation until the brushes are properly seated (worn in).
• While “running in” DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHER WISE LOCK
THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
Before use, carefully check the upper guard, lower guard and dust duct
to determine that they will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or
workpiece particles do not block of one of the functions.
In case of workpiece fragments jammed between the saw blade and
guards, disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow
the instructions given in Changing or Installing a New Saw Blade.
Remove the jammed parts and reassemble the saw blade.
Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER
the base and the rotary table.
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 and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
WORKLIGHT CLEANING
• Carefully clean sawdust and debris from worklight lens with a
cotton swab. Dust build-up can block the worklight and prevent it
from accurately indicating the line of cut.
• DO NOT use solvents of any kind; they may damage the lens.
• With blade removed from saw, clean pitch and build-up from blade.
DUST DUCT CLEANING
With the saw unplugged and the saw head raised fully, low pressure air
or a large diameter dowel rod can be used to clear the dust out of the
dust duct.
Optional Accessories (fi g. 2–8)
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.
EXTENSION WORK SUPPORT: DE7080-XJ
The extension work support is used to support long workpieces. Your
saw base will accept two work supports (ii), one on each side.
ADJUSTABLE LENGTH STOP: DE7051-XJ
Requires the use of one work support (ii). The adjustable length stop
(jj) is used to make repetitive cuts of the same length from 0 to 107 cm
(42").
CLAMP: DE7082-XJ
The clamp (kk) is used for firmly clamping workpiece to the saw table.
