Cutting Depth Adjustment - DeWalt DW930 Guide D'utilisation

Never turn switch on when blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to
your saw will result.
Blades
A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient cutting overload on the saw
motor, excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of
kickback. Please refer to the table on next page for to determine the
correct size replacement blade for your model saw.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive discs or blades for cutting ferrous
(steel) materials, masonry, glass or tile materials.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye
protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the
work piece such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only
operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade
securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a clean,
sharp blade.

Cutting Depth Adjustment

1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.
2. Hold the saw firmly and loosen (counterclockwise) the depth
adjustment knob and move shoe to obtain the desired depth of cut.
3. Make sure the depth adjustment knob has been retightened
(clockwise) before operating saw.

WALT
E
For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth adjustment so that
one tooth of the blade will project below the material to be cut. This
distance is from the tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of
it. This keeps blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust from the
cut, results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of
kickback. A method for checking for correct cutting depth is shown in
FIG. 5. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of the
blade, as shown, and observe how much tooth projects beyond the
material.
NOTE: When using carbide-tipped blades, make an exception to the
above rule and allow only one-half of a tooth to project below the
material to be cut.
Bevel Angle Adjustment
The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0˚ to 50˚. The quadrant
is graduated in increments of 5˚. On the front of the saw is a bevel
angle adjustment mechanism (FIG. 5) consisting of a calibrated
quadrant and a knob. To set the saw for a bevel cut:
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.
2. Loosen (counterclockwise) the quadrant knob and tilt shoe to the
desired angle by aligning the pointer with the desired angle mark.
Retighten knob firmly (clockwise).
NOTE: The quadrant pointer, located between the quadrant knob and
the quadrant, can be adjusted after loosening its screw. Retighten
firmly after adjustment.
Shoe Adjustment for 90˚ Cuts
If additional adjustment is needed:
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.
2. Adjust the saw to 0˚ bevel.
3. Retract blade guard. Place the saw on blade side.
4. Loosen bevel adjustment knob. Place a square against the blade
and shoe to adjust the 90˚ setting.
5. Move the adjustment screw so that the shoe will stop at the proper
angle.
