before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories.
An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION:
Use the appropriate blade. Do not
use cracked, damaged or excessively worn blades.
CAUTION:

maximum speed and use a slow even feed for proper
cutting.
CAUTION:
The DW862 should only be used on
horizontal surfaces.
Depth of Cut Adjustment (Fig. 3)
1. Push the depth adjustment lever (M) down to
release.
2. Move the shoe (A) up or down to desired
position.
3. Pull the depth adjustment lever up to tighten.
TO ADJUST THE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
LEVER POSITION
The depth adjustment lever has been preset for
better positioning. To make any adjustments, use the
following procedure:
1. Firmly tighten the depth adjustment lever.
2. Turn the screw that secures the lever in place
counterclockwise to loosen completely. Remove
the lever and screw together from the nut. (The
screw is spring loaded, try not to separate these
parts).
3. Set the lever to the desired position.
4. Tighten the screw turning it clockwise.
Motor Brushes (FIG.4,5)
1. Remove and check carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they have worn down to about
6mm or less.
2. Keep carbon brushes clean for free movement
in the holder. Both carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
3. Use only DEWALT carbon brushes.
4. Use a screwdriver to remove brush caps (N).
Take out worn brushes, insert new ones(O), and
secure the brush caps.
Straight Cuts (Fig. 6)
1. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area
to be cut. Keep the cutting line straight.
2. Place the shoe of the saw on the workpiece
ensuring that the blade does not touch the
workpiece.
3. Align the edge of the shoe (A) with the cut outline
on the workpiece.
4. Turn the tool on and wait for the blade to reach
its maximum velocity.
5. Move the tool slowly and evenly forward,
following the cut line.
6. Be sure to move the tool gently forward, in
a straight line. Forcing, or exerting excessive
pressure, or allowing the wheel to bend, pinch or
twist in the cut can cause the motor to over heat
and tool to kickback dangerously.
7. When cutting the work piece over 20mm deep,
make 2 or 3 separate cuts to prevent motor
failure.
WARNING:
This tool should only be used on
horizontal surfaces.
