3
,
as shown in FigureG.

Bench Mounting (Fig. A1)
Holes
18
are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Two
different-sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws.
Use either hole; it is not necessary to useboth.
Always mount your saw firmly to a stable surface to prevent movement.
To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 12.7 mm
or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or
moved to other job sites andreclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that
the mounting screws don’t protrude from the bottom of the wood. The
plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to
any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting
screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the
proper operation of thesaw.

CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting
surface is not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the
surface, place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw
sits firmly on the mountingsurface.
Assembling the Base Extensions (Fig. Z)

WARNING: Base extensions must be assembled to both sides of
the saw's base before using thesaw.

WARNING: Be sure to adjust the base extensions using the
mounting holes so they are level with the saw'sbase.
1. Locate the holes above the hand indentations
16
on the side of
thebase.
2. Using the supplied wrench or a T30 wrench, attach the screw
63
through the washer
64
, through the base extension
15
, and into the
holes on thebase.
3. Ensure the extension is secure by pulling on the extension to verify
nomovement.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 on the otherside.
2. Slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool
and ensure that you hear the lock snap intoplace.

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some
DeWALT
battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of
three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the
batterypack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button
61
. A
combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the
level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the
usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
berecharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery
pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based
on product components, temperature and end-userapplication.
