WARNING:
Ensure the saw is mounted firmly to a stable flat surface.
Failure to do so could cause the saw to be unstable and fall causing
personal injury.
4. Place the workpiece to be cut on top of the platform mounted to the
table. Ensure the workpiece is firmly against the back of the base
fence (O) (fig. 28B).
5. Secure the material before cutting. Cut slowly through the material
using a out-down-and-back motion. Failure to clamp securely or cut
slowly could result in the material coming loose and causing injury.
After several cuts are made at various mitre angles other than 0º, the
platform may weaken and not properly support the work. Install a new,
unused platform to the saw after presetting the desired mitre angle.
CAUTION:
Continued use of a platform with several kerfs may cause
loss of material control and possible injury.
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.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no
further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from
around AND UNDER the base and the rotary table.
Even though slots are provided to allow debris to
pass through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years
of use. If they ever need replacement follow the
Brushes
instructions or return the tool to the nearest
service center for repair. Service center locations
are packed with your tool.
Brushes (fig. 1)
Inspect carbon brushes regularly. Keep brushes clean
and sliding freely in their guides.
• Unplug tool, remove the motor end cap (F), lift the
brush spring and withdraw the brush assembly.
• If the brushes are worn down to approximately
12.7 mm (1/2"), the springs will no longer exert
pressure and they must be replaced.
• Use only identical D
E
WALT brushes. Use of the
correct grade of brush is essential for proper
operation of electric brake. New brush assemblies
are available at D
E
WALT service centres.
• Always replace the brush inspection cap after
inspection or servicing the brushes.
• The tool should be allowed to “run in” (run at
no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new
brushes. The electric brake may be erratic in
operation until the brushes are properly seated (worn
in).
• While “running in” DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHER-
WISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY
HAND ONLY.
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
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.
