WARNING: When mitring the end of a piece of wood
with a small off-cut, position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade
with the greater angle to the fence, i.e.:
• left mitre, off-cut to the right
• right mitre, off-cut to the left
Bevel cross-cuts (Fig. P, U)
Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48° to the left. Bevels up to 45° can be cut with the mitre
arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre position right or left.
1. Loosen the bevel clamp handle and set the bevel as desired.

2. Set the override button 31 if required.
3. Hold the head firmly and do not allow it to fall.
4. Tighten the bevel clamp handle 20 firmly.
5. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Quality of Cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, i.e. the material being cut.
When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding andother precision work, a sharp (60-tooth
carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desired results.

WARNING: Ensure that the material does not creep while cutting; clamp it securely
in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising the arm. If small fibres
of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on the
wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape
when finished.
Clamping the Workpiece (Fig. C, X)

WARNING: Always use a material clamp.
For best results use the material clamp

To Install clamp
1. Insert it into the hole behind the fence. The clamp
of the mitre saw. Ensure the groove on the clamp rod is fully inserted into the base of the
mitre saw. If the groove is visible, the clamp will not be secure.
2. Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the mitre saw.
3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use the fine adjust knob to firmly
clamp the workpiece.
nOTE: Place the clamp on the right side of the base when beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS
(UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE CLAMP
DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.
Compound Mitre (Fig. W)
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut. This is the type of cut used to make frames
or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in figure W.

WARNING: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the bevel clamp handle
and the mitre clamping knob are securely tightened. These must be tightened after
making any changes in bevel or mitre.
• The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and mitre settings for
common compound mitre cuts.
• To use the chart, select the desired angle "A" (Fig. W) of your project and locate that angle
on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point follow the chart straight down to find
the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the correct mitre angle.

SET THIS BEVEL ANGLE ON SAW
1. Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts.
2. Practice fitting the cut pieces together.
Example: To make a four-sided box with 25° exterior angles (angle "A") (Fig. W), use
the upper right arc. Find 25° on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line to
either side to get the mitre angle setting on the saw (23°). Likewise follow the vertical
intersecting line to the top or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw (40°).

Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood
to verify the settings on the saw.

WARNING: Never exceed the compound mitre limits of 45° bevel with 45° left or
right mitre.
Support for Short and Long Pieces (Fig. C, D)
Cutting Short Material
It is advisable to use the length stop 41 for short workpieces both for batch sawing and
for short individual workpieces of different lengths. The length stop can only be used in
conjunction with a pair of optional guide rails
Cutting Large Material

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always support long workpieces.
Figure C shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when the saw is used free-
standing (all items available as an option).
These items (except the legstand and the material clamp) are required both on the infeed and
the outfeed side:
- Legstand 40 (supplied with mounting instructions).
- Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm) 35 .
Stands to support the guide rails. Do not use the stands to support the machine!
- 39
The height of the stands is adjustable.
- Material support plates 36 .
- Table end plate 34 for supporting the rails (also when working on an existing bench).
- Material clamp 17 .
Swivelling stop .
- 38
1. Place your saw on the legstand and fit the guide rails.
2. Firmly screw the material support plates
3. The material clamp 17 now functions as a length stop.
4. Install the table end plates 34 .
5. Install the swivelling stop 38 to the rear rail.
6. Use the swivelling stop 38 to adjust the length of medium and long workpieces. It can be
adjusted sideways or swung out of the way when not in use.
Dust Extraction (Fig. A, K)

WARNING: Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance
with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Connect a dust collection device designed in accordance with the relevant regulations. The air
velocity of externally connected systems shall be 20m/s +/- 2 m/s. Velocity to be measured in
the connection tube at the point of connection, with the tool connected but not running.
nOTE: The DWV9000 twist-lock quick connector
accessory to connect to the dust extraction device.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a
special vacuum cleaner.
Transporting (Fig. A, B)

WARNING: In order to conveniently carry the mitre saw, the base is provided with two
hand indentations 32 . Never use guards to lift or transport the mitre saw.
1. To transport the saw, set the bevel and mitre positions to 0°.
2. Press the lower guard lock up release lever
3. Press the head down and press the lock down button
4. Bring the saw blade to rest position and press the traverse lock
MAINTENANCE
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
e
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: If the saw blade is worn replace it with a new sharp blade.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
