Maintenance - DeWalt DCS570H2T Original Instructions Manual

EnGLIsH
to support cantilevered and overhanging material. Use caution
when sawing material from below.
Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts material
to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material to be cut
or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback. Push the
saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to cut without
laboring. Hardness and toughness can vary even in the same
piece of material, and knotty or damp sections can put a heavy
load on the saw. When this happens, push the saw more slowly,
but hard enough to keep working without much decrease
in speed. Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy,
kickback, and over-heating of the motor. Should your cut begin
to go off the line, don't try to force it back on. Release the switch
and allow blade to come to a complete stop. Then you can
withdraw the saw, sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside
the wrong one. In any event, withdraw the saw if you must shift
the cut. Forcing a correction inside the cut can stall the saw and
lead to kickback.
IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND BACK THE SAW
UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND
CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEFORE RESTARTING.
As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to
stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw,
the spring-tensioned telescoping guard will automatically close
under the blade. Remember the blade is exposed until this
occurs. Never reach under the work for any reason. When you
have to retract the telescoping guard manually (as is necessary
for starting pocket cuts) always use the retracting lever.
nOTE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that small
cutoff pieces don't hang up on inside of lower guard.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. O)

WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket
cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off the work
surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw base plate so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the base plate on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade guard to an
upward position. Lower rear of base plate until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep
it in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove
hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary handle
as shown in Figure O. Position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before
starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its base
plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.

Dust Extraction (Fig. Q)

WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
A dust extraction port
The dust extraction port allows you to connect the tool
to an external dust extractor, either using the AirLock™
system (DWV9000-XJ), or a standard 35 mm dust
extractor fitment.

WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed
in compliance with the applicable directives regarding
dust emission when sawing wood. Vacuum hoses of most
common vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the dust
extraction outlet.

MAINTENANCE

Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate
e
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
Lubrication
Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in the tool and
relubrication is not required. However, it is recommended that,
once a year, you take or send the tool to a service centre for a
thorough cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear case.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing this procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these
parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild
soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
12 ,
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
Lower Guard
The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from
a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct
operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and letting
it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely, it will need
cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it functions
correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft brush to
remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the path of
the guard and from around the guard spring. Should this not
