cut along the side of the blade, as shown in the figure, and
observe how much tooth projects beyond thematerial.
Adjusting Depth Adjustment Lever (Fig. E)
It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever
4
. It
may loosen in time and hit the base plate beforetighten ing.
To Tighten the Lever:
1. Hold depth adjustment lever
4
and loosen the locknut
18
.
2. Adjust the depth adjustment lever by rotating it in the
desired direction about 1/8 of arevolution.
3. Retightennut.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. A, G)
The bevel angle adjustment mechanism can be adjusted
between 0° and 57°.
To achieve better accuracy in cutting, use the fine adjustment
markings located on the pivot bracket
21
.
1. Raise the bevel adjustment lever
10
toloosen.
2. Tilt the base plate to the desired angle by aligning the fine
bevel pointer
22
with the desired angle mark on the pivot
bracket
21
.
3. Lower the bevel adjustment lever toretighten.
Bevel Detent (Fig. A, G)
The DCS570 is equipped with a bevel detent feature. As you
tilt the base plate
5
you will hear a click and feel the base
plate stop at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of these is the
desired angle, retighten the lever
10
by lowering it. If you
desire another angle, continue tilting the base plate until the
coarse bevel pointer
23
or the fine pointer
22
aligns with the
desiredmark.
Cut Length Indicator (Fig. A)
The markings on the side of the base plate
5
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.
Kerf Indicator (Fig. I)
The front of the saw base plate has a kerf indicator
9
for vertical
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw
along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The kerf
indicator lines up with the left (outer) side of the saw blade,
which makes the slot or “kerf” cut by the moving blade fall to
the right of the indicator. Guide along the penciled cutting line
so that the kerf falls into the waste or surplus material.
Mounting and Adjusting the Parallel Fence
(Fig. N)
The parallel fence
28
is used for cutting parallel to the edge of
theworkpiece.
Mounting
1. Slacken the parallel fence adjustment knob
27
to allow the
parallel fence topass.
2. Insert the parallel fence
28
in the base plate asshown.
3. Tighten the parallel fence adjustment knob
27
.
Adjusting
1. Slacken the fence adjustment knob
27
and set the parallel
fence
28
to the desired width. The adjustment can be read
on the parallel fencescale.
2. Tighten the fence adjustment knob
27
Mounting the Dust Extraction Port
(Fig. A, P)
Your circular saw is supplied with a dust extractionport.
To Install the Dust Extraction Port
1. Fully loosen depth adjustment lever
4
.
2. Place the base plate
5
in the lowestposition.
3. Align the left half of the dust extraction port
29
over upper
blade guard
7
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
30
with theleft.
5. Insert screws and tightensecurely.
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.
