installing 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.
The Quick-Change blade clamp requires no tools to
change the blade.
1. Push in wheel lock lever (l) and rotate
wheel (j) by hand until wheel lock lever
engages slot in inside flange (z) to lock wheel.
Loosen the Quick-Change blade clamp (q)
counterclockwise. Clamp has right-hand thread.
2. Remove the Quick-Change blade clamp (q),
blade clamp washer (aa) and old wheel (j) by
hand.
3. Make sure flange surfaces are clean and flat.
Install the new abrasive wheel by reversing the
above steps.
4. Tighten the Quick-Change blade clamp
clockwise until the knob clicks as least three
times to ensure the knob is tight. The Quick-
Change blade clamp cannot be overtightened.
NOTE: Do not overtighten bolt. An extra blade bolt
(o) and blade bolt washer (p) are stored on the back
of the motor arm. The bolt and washer must be
used together to safely clamp blade.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
Check the work surface that the chop
saw rests on when replacing with a
new abrasive wheel. It is possible that
the wheel may contact ANY ITEMS OR
STRUCTURE THAT EXTENDS ABOVE
work surface (under the base) when the
arm is fully lowered.
Mounting (fi g. 8, 9)
CAUTION: Tool must be supported on
stable, level, non-skid surface to prevent
unexpected movement when operating.
PROCEDURE FOR PERMANENT MOUNTING
1. Drill four holes 8 mm (5/16") through the work
surface (fig. 8).
2. Insert 1/4-20 screws down through the holes in
the base and through holes in
mounting surface. The approximate length
of the screws should be the thickness of the
mounting surface plus 101.6 mm (4").
CRADLE MOUNTING
1. Cut two boards approximately 508 x 50.8 x
101.6 mm (20" long x 2" high x 4") wide.

2. Place chop saw at desired work location.
3. Place boards tightly along side, and nail to work
surface (fig. 9).
Operation Tips for More
Accurate Cuts
• Allow the wheel to do the cutting. Excessive
force will cause the wheel to glaze
reducing cutting efficiency and/or to deflect
causing inaccurate cuts.
• Properly adjust fence angle.
• Make sure material is laying flat across base.
• Properly clamp material to avoid movement and
vibration.

MAINTENANCE

Your D WALT power tool has been designed to
E
operate 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
injury, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source before
installing 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.
NOTE: Unit may be converted to a three-wire twist
lock cord set at an authorized service center.
Lubrication
Closed-type, grease-sealed ball bearings are
used throughout. These bearings have sufficient
lubrication packed in them at the factory to last the
life of the chop saw.
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.
