Bevel Lock Knob (Fig. 3, 6)
The bevel lock allows you to bevel the saw 48° to the left. To adjust the bevel setting, turn the
bevel lock knob (L) counterclockwise to loosen. To tighten, turn the bevel lock knob clockwise.
CAUTION: Pinch hazard. Be sure to tighten bevel lock knob before adjusting overrides.
0° Bevel Stop Override (Fig. 6)
The bevel stop override allows you to bevel the saw up to 3° to the right. Loosen the 0° bevel
stop override screw (AI) until the 0° bevel stop override bracket (AJ) can freely rotate. Turn the
0° bevel stop override bracket to allow the saw to rotate past the zero bevel position, then
retighten the override screw.

45º Bevel Stop Override (Fig. 6)
The bevel stop override allows you to bevel the saw up to 48° to the left. Loosen the 45° bevel
stop override screw (AK) until the 45° stop override bracket (AL) can freely rotate. Turn the 45°
bevel stop override bracket (AL) to allow the saw to rotate past the 45° bevel position, then

Rail Lock Knob (Fig. 3)
The rail lock knob (T) allows you to lock the saw head firmly to keep it from sliding on the rails.
This is necessary when making certain cuts or when transporting the saw.
Lock Down Pin (Fig. 3)
WARNING: The lock down pin should be used ONLY when carrying or storing the saw.
NEVER use the lock down pin for any cutting operation.
To lock the saw head in the down position, push the saw head down, push the lock down pin
(W) in and release the saw head. This will hold the saw head safely down for moving the saw
from place to place. To release, press the saw head down and pull the pin out.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and remove
the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
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. 7)
NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack (P) into the tool handle, align the battery pack with the rails inside
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 (AO) and firmly pull the
battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger
section of this manual.

FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 7A)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights
E
that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button (AP). A combination of the
three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. For the DCS361,
when the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will show one
or no LED lights and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does
not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.
For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please call 1-800-4-D
(1-800-433-9258) or visit our website www.dewalt.com.
Trigger Switch (Fig. 8)
To turn the saw on, push the lock-off lever (R) to the left,
then depress the trigger switch (A). 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 (AR) is provided in the trigger for
insertion of a padlock to lock the switch off.
Your saw is not equipped with an automatic electric blade
brake, but the saw blade should stop within 5 seconds
of trigger release. This is not adjustable. If the stop time
repeatedly exceeds 5 seconds, have the tool serviced by an authorized D
center.
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerf.
