foot plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance
saw along the cutting line until cut iscompleted.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performingthis.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
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.
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 certified service center for a thorough cleaning,
inspection and lubrication of the gear case.
To Check Oil

WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Motor and
surrounding parts are very hot. Do not touch. Allow
motor to cool prior to servicing.

WARNING: Be careful, gear oil may be hot! Contact
with hot oil may result in personal injury.
NOTICE: Ensure there is gear oil in the saw before
operating the saw or tool damage may occur.
NOTE: Gear oil contains substances that are regulated
and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state,
provincial and federal laws and regulations.
1. Place saw on a stable, level surface so the table of the
saw sits flush against the surface.
2. With the wrench provided, turn the oil plug
19
(Fig. A)
counterclockwise to remove.
3. Due to settling, even though the correct amount of oil
may be present in the crankcase it may not be visible
looking into the oil fill hole.
a. With the tool turned off and disconnected from the
power source, rotate blade and look into oil fill hole.
b. If no oil is visible as the gears turn, it needs to be
added.
4. To add oil, slowly add 85W-140 gear oil or equivalent
until it reaches the lowest plug hole thread. 85W-
140 gear oil or equivalent is available from your local
DeWALT
service center.
