• When mitring to the left:
– increase the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate
vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the left.
– decrease the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the
appropriatevernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to
the right.
Cutting Base Mouldings
The cutting of base moulding is performed at a 45° bevel angle.
• Always make a dry run without power before making any cuts.
• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying flat on the saw.

Cutting Crown Mouldings
The cutting of crown moulding is performed in a compound mitre. In order
to achieve extreme accuracy, your saw has pre-set angle positions at 31.62°
mitre and 33.85° bevel. These settings are for standard crown mouldings
with 52° angles at the top and 38° angles at the bottom.
• Make test cuts using scrap material before doing the final cuts.
• All cuts are made in a left bevel and with the back of the moulding
against the base.

Transporting (fig. A2, B)
In order to conveniently carry the mitre saw, a carrying handle (9) has been
included on the top of the saw arm.
• To transport the saw, lower the head and depress the lock down pin (18).
• Always use the carrying handle (9) or the hand indentations (22) shown

MAINTENANCE
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period
E
of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation

and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups
or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF
position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
Before use, carefully check the upper blade guard, movable lower blade
guard as well as the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate
properly. Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particle cannot lead to
blockage of one of the functions.
In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw blade and guards
disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow the instructions
given in section Mounting the Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and
reassembling the saw blade.
