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 serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
Lubrication
Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in the tool and
relubrication is not required. However, it is recommended that,
once a year, you take or send the tool to a service center for a
thorough cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gearcase.
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 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 authorized
servicecenter.
Base Plate Adjustment (Fig.G, H)
Your base plate has been factory set to assure that the blade is
perpendicular to the base plate. If after extended use you need
to re-align the blade, follow the directions below:
Adjusting for 90 Degree Cuts
1. Return the saw to 0degreesbevel.
2. Place the saw on its side, and retract the lowerguard.
3. Set the depth of cut to 51mm.
4. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (
13
, Fig.G). Place a
square against the blade and the base plate as shown in
FigureH.
5. Using a wrench, turn the set screw (
29
, Fig. H) on the
underside of the base plate until the blade and the base
plate are both in flush contact with the square. Retighten
the bevel adjustmentlever.
Adjusting Bevel Adjustment Lever
It may be desirable to adjust the bevel adjustment lever
13
. It
may loosen in time and hit the base plate beforetighten ing.
To Tighten the Lever:
1. Hold the bevel adjustment lever
13
and loosen the bevel
locknut
28
.
2. Adjust the bevel adjustment lever by rotating it in the
desired direction about 1/8 of arevolution.
3. Retightennut.
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.
