Special Cuts

WARNING: Never make any cut unless the material is secured
on the table and against thefence.
Aluminum Cutting (Fig. V1, V2)
ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR
CUTTINGALUMINUM.
Certain workpieces may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent
movement during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting
the thinnest cross section, as shown in FigureV1. FigureV2 illustrates the
wrong way to cut theseextrusions.
Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick
wax directly to the saw blade
44
before cutting. Never apply stick wax to
a moving blade. The wax provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from
adhering to theblade.
Bowed Material (Fig. W1, W2)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in FigureW1 and
never like that shown in FigureW2. Positioning the material incorrectly will
cause it to pinch theblade.
Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood
and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM
ROLLING. This is extremely important when making anglecuts.
Cutting Large Material (Fig.X)
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
1
and roll the guard up just enough to clear the
workpiece, as shown in FigureY. 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.
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.
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 (Fig. A1)
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inlet

HOLES. SPEED RATING MUST BE AT LEAST 4800 RPM. Never use a smaller
diameter blade. It will not be guarded properly. Use crosscut blades only!
Do not use blades designed for ripping, combination blades or blades with
hook angles in excess of 5°.
