B. Green lumber (material freshly cut or not kiln dried)
C. Pressure treated lumber (material treated with preservatives
or anti-rot chemicals)
5. USE OF DULL OR DIRTY BLADES
Dull blades cause increased loading of the saw. To compensate,
an operator will usually push harder which further loads the
unit and promotes twisting of the blade in the kerf. Worn blades
may also have insufficient body clearance which increases the
chance of binding and increased loading.
6. LIFTING THE SAW WHEN MAKING BEVEL CUTS
Bevel cuts require special operator attention to proper cutting
techniques – especially guidance of the saw. Both blade angle
to the shoe and greater blade surface in the material increase
the chance for binding and misalignment (twist) to occur.
7. RESTARTING A CUT WITH THE BLADE TEETH JAMMED
AGAINST THE MATERIAL
The saw should be brought up to full operating speed before
starting a cut or restarting a cut after the unit has been stopped
with the blade in the kerf. Failure to do so can cause stalling and
kickback.
Any other conditions which could result in pinching, binding,
twisting, or misalignment of the blade could cause kickback. Refer
to Additional Safety Instructions and Operation for procedures and
techniques that will minimize the occurrence of kickback.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before
making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry
air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic 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.
Lubrication
Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in the tool and
relubrication is not required. However, it is recommended that, once
a year, you take or send the tool to a service center for a thorough
cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear case.
Electric Brake (DW369 Only)
Your saw has an automatic electric brake which is designed to stop
the blade from coasting in about two seconds, after you release the
trigger switch. It is useful when making certain cuts in wood where
a coasting blade would result in a wide, imprecise cut.
Occasionally, the brake will not function properly and won't stop the
saw in the 2 seconds discussed above. If this condition persists,
turn the saw on and off four or five times. If the brake still does
not stop the blade in about 2 seconds, the problem may be worn
brushes. Replace the brushes as described below and try the
saw again. If the problem still persists, have the tool serviced at a
D WALT certified service center.
