Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from turning (fig. D2). • Remove the blade screw (31) and the outer flange (32) (fig. D1).
ENGLISH Bevel stop adjustment (fig. H1 - H4) Adjusting the bevel stop and pointer to 0° (fig. H1 & H2) • Place the saw in the 0° bevel position (fig. H1). • Push the head fully back and tighten the rail lock knob (20) (fig. H2). • Place a set square (36) on the table and up against the blade (33) (fig. H1). Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows: • Loosen the bevel lever (11) (fig. H2).
ENGLISH If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the bevel and mitre levers are securely tightened. • 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. N4) 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.
ENGLISH • Set the mitre angle to the nearest whole degree desired by aligning the centre mark in the vernier scale, shown in (fig. P1), with the whole degree number etched in the mitre scale. Examine (fig. P1) closely; the setting shown is 24° right mitre. • To set the additional 1/2°, squeeze the mitre arm lock and carefully move the arm to the right until the 1/2° vernier mark aligns with the closest degree mark on the mitre scale.
ENGLISH Maintenance Your DEWALT Power Tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. Lubrication Your Power Tool requires no additional lubrication.
