Blades; Adjusting For 90 Degree Cuts; Adjusting Bevel Adjustment Lever; Recommended Blade Tyres - DeWalt DWE575 Instruction Manual

Your hot plate has been factory set to assure that the blade is
perpendicular to the foot plate. If after extended use you need to
re-align the blade, follow the directions below:
ADJUSTING FOR 90 DEGREE CUTS (FIG. 1, 20)
1. Return the saw to FIG.20
0 degrees bevel.
2. Place the saw on its side, _.:_
and retract the lower ....
guard.
3. Set the depth of cut
at approximately 2"
(51 mm).
4. Loosen the bevel
adjustment lever (F).
Place a square against ',
the blade and the Y
foot plate as shown in
Figure 20.
5. Using a hex wrench, turn the set screw (Y)on the underside of the
foot plate until the blade and the foot plate are both in flush contact
with the square. Retighten the bevel adjustment lever.
ADJUSTING BEVEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER
It may be desirable to adjust the
bevel adjustment lever. It may
loosen in time and hit the foot plate
before tightening.
To tighten the lever, follow the
steps below.
1. Hold bevel adjustment lever (F)
and loosen the Iocknut (Z).

2. Adjust the bevel adjustment lever by rotating it in the desired
direction about 1/8 of a revolution.
3. Retighten nut.
Blades
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor,
excessive splintering and increase the possibility of kickback. Change
blades when it is no longer easy to push the saw through the cut,
when the motor is straining, or when excessive heat is built up in the
blade. It is a good practice to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp
blades are available for immediate use. Dull blades can be sharpened
in most areas; see SAWS-SHARPENING in the yellow pages.
Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene,
turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades can be used
in applications where excessive build-up is encountered, such as
pressure treated and green lumber.
