Operation - DeWalt DCS570H2T Original Instructions Manual

Kerf Indicator (Fig. I)
The front of the saw base plate has a kerf indicator
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw
along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The kerf
indicator lines up with the left (outer) side of the saw blade,
which makes the slot or "kerf" cut by the moving blade fall to the
right of the indicator. Guide along the penciled cutting line so
that the kerf falls into the waste or surplus material.

NOTICE: Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when the saw
blade touches the workpiece or other materials.
Workpiece Support (Fig. J–M)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, support the work properly and hold the saw
firmly to prevent loss of control.
Figures J and K show proper sawing position. Figures L and M
show an unsafe condition. Hands should be kept away from
cutting area.
To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR the
cut, (Fig. J and K). DON'T support board or panel away from the
cut (Fig. L and M). When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and prevent it from becoming hung up on
the work piece.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUST-
MENTS! Place the work with its "good" side—the one on which
appearance is most important—down. The saw cuts upward,
so any splintering will be on the work face that is up when you
saw it.
Cutting (Fig. J)

WARNING: Never attempt to use this tool by resting it
upside down on a work surface and bringing the material
to the tool. Always securely clamp the workpiece and bring
the tool to the workpiece, securely holding the tool with
two hands as shown in Figure J.
Place the wider portion of the saw base plate on that part of
the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section
that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Figure J
illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board. Always
clamp work. Don't try to hold short pieces by hand! Remember
