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
and roll the guard up just enough to clear the
1
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 D
WALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period
e
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
Outside Corner
guards, disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow the
Mitre left at 45°
instructions given in Changing or Installing a New Saw Blade. Remove
Save right side of cut
the jammed parts and reassemble the saw blade.
Mitre right at 45°
Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the

base and the rotary table.

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

sAW BLADEs: ALWAYS USE 305 mm SAW BLADES WITH 30 mm ARBOUR
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°.
Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.
Protecting the Environment
electrical products and batteries according to local provisions. Further
information is available at www.2helpU.com.
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.
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.
