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 the sections Further Safety Instructions for All Saws
and Blades for procedures and techniques that will minimise
the occurrence of kickback.
Depth of Cut Adjustment (Fig. F–H)
1. Raise the depth adjustment lever
2. To obtain the correct depth of cut, align the appropriate
mark on the depth adjustment strap
the upper blade guard.
3. Tighten the depth adjustment lever.
4. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped
saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half
of a tooth projects below the surface of the wood to be cut.
5. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is
shown in Fig. H. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut
along the side of the blade, as shown in the Figure, and
observe how much tooth projects beyond the material.
Adjusting Depth Adjustment Lever (Fig. G)
It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever
may loosen in time and hit the base plate before tighten ing.
To Tighten the Lever
1. Hold depth adjustment lever

.
2. Adjust the depth adjustment lever by rotating it in the
desired direction about 1/8 of a revolution.
3. Retighten nut.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. A, I)
The bevel angle adjustment mechanism
between 0° and 57°.
To achieve better accuracy in cutting, use the fine adjustment
markings located on the pivot bracket
1. Raise the bevel adjustment lever
2. Tilt the base plate to the desired angle by aligning the fine
bevel pointer
with the desired angle mark on the pivot

3. Lower the bevel adjustment lever to retighten.
Bevel Detent (Fig. I)
The DCS578 and DCS579 are equipped with a bevel detent
feature. As you tilt the base plate you will hear a click and feel
the base plate stop at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of
these is the desired angle, retighten the lever
If you desire another angle, continue tilting the base plate until
the coarse bevel pointer

or the fine pointer
the desired mark.

is used for cutting parallel to the edge of
the workpiece.

Mounting the Dust Extraction Port
(Fig. A, F, L)
Your DCS578/DCS579 circular saws are supplied with a dust
extraction port.
To Install Dust Extraction Port
1. Fully loosen depth adjustment lever
2. Place base plate
11
in the lowest position.
3. Align the left half of the dust extraction port
blade guard

as shown. Be sure to insert the tab into the
casting notch on the tool. When installed correctly, it will
snap fully over the original depth of cut pointer.
4. Align the right-hand piece with the left.
5. Insert screws and tighten securely.
Guide Rail System (Fig. M)
DCS579
Guide rails, available in different lengths as accessories, allow
the use of the circular saw for precise, straight clean cuts and
simultaneously protect the workpiece surface against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled cuts,
mitre cuts and fitting work can be completed with the guide
rail system.
Clamps
37
are available to secure the guide rail
workpiece
36
(Fig. M). Use of these clamps
guide rail
35
is securely attached to the workpiece
working. Once the guide rail is set to the cut line and securely
fixed to the workpiece, there is no movement during cutting.
IMPORTanT: The height scale on the unit is set for using the
saw without a guide rail. When using the saw on the guide rail
the difference in height will be approximately 5.0 mm.
Setting the Circular Saw To the Guide
Rail (Fig. A, N)
The clearance between the circular saw and the guide rail
(Fig. N,
35
) must be very small to achieve best cutting results.
The smaller this clearance the better the straight line finish will
be on the workpiece.
