Maintenance - DeWalt DW715 Instruction Manual

FIG. 21A
FIG. 22A
FENCE
Refer to Saw Blades under Accesseries for correct saw blade.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 22 and never like that
shown in 22A. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near the
completion of the cut.

CORRECT
INCORRECT
CU'R'ING PLASTIC PIPE OR OTHER ROUND MATERIAL
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED
OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely
important when making angle cuts.
CU'I-FING LARGE MATERIAL
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the blade guard.
If this occurs, simply place your right thumb on the upper side of the lower blade guard and
roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in Figure 18. Release the
lower blade guard before turning the saw on and beginning the cut. Avoid doing this as much
as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE,
TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic
guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain chemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the
rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust
will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. To replace the brushes refer
to Brushes or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair.
