nOTE: Certain special cuts of large material will require that you manually raise the guard.
Refer to Cutting large Material under Special Cuts.
The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting. Although the louvers
dramatically reduce flying debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be
worn at all times when viewing through the louvers.
Miter Lock Adjustment (Fig. A, J)
The miter lock rod 40 should be adjusted if the table of the saw can be moved when the
miter lock handle 7 is locked (down). To adjust the miter lock
in the unlocked (up) position. Using a slotted screwdriver, adjust the lock rod in 1/8 clockwise
turn increments to increase the lock force. To ensure the miter lock is functioning properly,
re-lock the miter lock handle to a non-detent miter angle – for example , 34° - and make sure
the table will not rotate.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off, and remove
the battery pack before transporting, making any adjustments, cleaning,
repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.
Bevel Lock Knob (Fig. A)
The bevel lock knob allows you to bevel the saw 49° left or right. To adjust the bevel
13
setting, turn the knob counterclockwise. The saw head bevels easily to the left or to the right
once the 0° bevel stop 25 is in the 0° bevel override position. To tighten, turn the bevel lock
knob clockwise.
0° Bevel Override (Fig. A)
The bevel stop override allows you to bevel the saw to the right past the 0° mark.
When engaged, the saw will automatically stop at 0° when brought up from the left. To move
past 0° to the right, pull the 0° bevel stop
and let go for the spring loaded pin to lock in.
To return the bevel to 0° bevel stop, pull the 0° bevel stop, rotate 90° (either clockwise or
counterclockwise) and let go for the spring loaded pin will lock in.
45° Bevel Stop Override (Fig. I)
There are two bevel stop override sliders
left or right past 45°, loosen the 45° bevel stop screw
rearward. Retighten the 45° bevel stop screw. When in the rearward position, the saw can
bevel past these stops. When the 45° stops are needed, loosen the 45° bevel stop screw and
slide the 45° bevel stop slider forward. Retighten the 45° bevel stop screw.
Crown Bevel Pawls (Fig. I)
When cutting crown molding laying flat, your saw is equipped to accurately and rapidly set
a crown stop, left or right (refer to Instructions for Cutting Crown Molding Laying Flat
and Using the Compound Features). The crown bevel pawl
the crown adjustment screw 38 . The saw is factory set to be used for typical crown in North
America (52°/38°), but can be reversed to cut non-typical (45°/45°) crown. To reverse the
crown bevel pawl, remove the retaining screw, the 22.5° bevel pawl and the 33.9° crown bevel
pawl. Flip the crown bevel pawl so the 30°  is facing up. Reattach the screw to secure the
22.5° bevel pawl and the crown bevel pawl. The accuracy setting will not be affected.
22.5° Bevel Pawls (Fig. I)
Your saw is equipped to rapidly and accurately set a 22.5° bevel, left or right. The 22.5° bevel
pawl 39 can be rotated to contact the crown adjustment screw.

Automatic Electric Brake

Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake which stops the saw blade within
5 seconds of trigger release. This is not adjustable.
On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to brake engagement. On rare
occasions, the brake may not engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop.
If a delay or "skipping" occurs, turn the saw on and off 4 or 5 times. If the condition persists,
have the tool serviced by an authorized D
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerf. The brake
is not a substitute for guards or for ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your
complete attention.

WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders must wear eye protection
that conforms to ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3).

WARNING: To ensure the blade path is clear of obstructions, always make a dry run of the
cut without power before making any cuts on the workpiece.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. A)

WARNING: Ensure the tool/appliance is in the off position before inserting the
battery pack.
nOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack
the tool's handle and slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool
and ensure that it does not disengage.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release button
battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger
section of this manual.
Body and Hand Position (Fig. K)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position
as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation
of a sudden reaction.
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting
has been

easier, more accurate and safer. Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer
than 4" (100 mm) from the blade. Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence
when cutting. Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has
completely stopped. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT
YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS ARMS, AS SHOWN IN FIGURE K.
Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you move the miter arm
19
left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. View through the guard
louvers when following a pencil line.
Trigger Switch (Fig. L)
To turn the saw on, push the lock-off lever
The saw will run while the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full operating
speed before making the cut. To turn the saw off, release the switch. Allow the blade to stop
before raising the saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A hole
provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the switch off.
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerf.
Dust Extraction (Fig. M)

CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless the dust bag or D
in place. Wood dust may create a breathing hazard.
Your saw has a built-in dust port that allows an Airlock™ compatible dust collection system
to be connected. Use of a non-Airlock dust collection system requires the use of the supplied
vacuum adapter.
Our recommended optimal solution:
• Vacuum (DXV14P)
• Separator (DXVCS003)
• 2-½" x 7' Hose (DXVA19-2501)
• Vacuum Adapter: Used for DXV series vacuums and other non-Airlock
compatible vacuums.
To Attach the Dust Bag (Fig. N)
1. Fit the dust bag
To Empty the Dust Bag (Fig. N)
1. Remove dust bag
2. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This will not affect cutting
performance but will reduce the saw's dust collection efficiency. To restore your saw's dust
collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap
it on the side of the trash can or dust receptacle.
Through‑Cutting Operations (Fig. A)
nOTE: Although this saw will cut wood and many non-ferrous materials, we will limit our
detailed discussion to the cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other
materials. DO NOT CUT FERROUS (IRON AND STEEL) MAT ERIALS OR MASONRY WITH THIS
SAW. Do not use any abrasive blades.
nOTE: Refer to guard Actuation and Visibility in the Adjustments section for important
information about the lower guard before cutting.
Crosscuts (Fig. A, O)
A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any angle. A straight crosscut is made
with the miter arm at the 0° position. Set and lock the miter arm at 0°, hold the wood firmly on
the table and against the fence. Turn on the saw by squeezing the trigger switch
Figure A.
When the saw comes up to speed (about 2 seconds) lower the arm smoothly and slowly to cut
through the wood. Let the blade come to a full stop before raising arm.
Cutting of multiple pieces is not recommended but can be done safely by ensuring that each
piece is held firmly against the table and fence.
nOTE: To provide greater crosscut capacity with reduced stroke, the blade on the DCS714
extends deeper into the table. As a result, a greater lifting force on the workpiece may be
experienced during the cut.
