Twist-Lock Connector; Cutting Depth Adjustment; Bevel Angle Adjustment - DeWalt DWS535 Instruction Manual

Your saw has a convenient saw hook that allows the saw to hang
from a joist, rafter, or other suitable, stable structure. The saw hook
folds flat against the tool body when not in use.
To use the saw hook, push down on the hook to rotate it away from
the handle until it latches into position.
To return the saw hook to its stored position, pull the hook up until it
latches against the tool body.

The DWS535T is equipped with a twist-lock connector as shown
in Figure 3. This prevents the cord from unplugging if the cord is
inadvertantly pulled. Only plug the twist-lock connector into a 3-wire
extension cord with a female connector.
Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig. 1_ 4_ 5)
1. Hold the saw firmly. Lift the depth adjustment locking lever (B) to
move foot plate to obtain the desired depth of cut.
2. Lower the depth adjustment locking lever and tighten securely to
lock the depth of cut before operating saw.
The length of cut markings on the side of the foot plate are accurate
at full depth of cut only. Setting the saw at the proper cutting depth
keeps blade friction to a minimum, removes sawdust from between
the blade teeth, results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the
chance of kickback.
For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth adjustment so that
half of a blade tooth will project below the material to be cut. This
distance is from the tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front
of it (refer to inset of Figure 5). This keeps blade friction at a minimum,
removes sawdust from the cut, results in cooler, faster sawing and
reduces the chance of kickback. A method for checking for correct
cutting depth is shown in Figure 5. Lay a piece of the material you
plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown, and observe how
much tooth projects beyond the material.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. 1_ 6)
The full range of the FIG. 6
bevel adjustment is from
0° to 53 °. Detents are N
located at 22.5 ° and 45 °.
The angle quadrant is
graduated in increments I
