Dust Extraction (Fig. 30)
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
A dust extraction port (AG) is supplied with
your tool.
The Dust Extraction Adaptor allows you to connect
the tool to an external dust extractor, either using
the AirLock™ system (DWV9000-XJ), or a standard
35 mm dust extractor fitment.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum
extractor designed in compliance with
the applicable directives regarding dust
emission when sawing wood. Vacuum
hoses of most common vacuum
cleaners will fit directly into the dust
extraction outlet.
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
serious personal injury, turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
Lubrication
Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in
the tool and relubrication is not required. However,
it is recommended that, once a year, you take or
send the tool to a service center for a thorough
cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear
case.
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.
WARNING: Never use solvents or
other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild
soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
LOWER GUARD
The lower guard should always rotate and close
freely from a fully open to fully closed position.
Always check for correct operation before cutting
by fully opening the guard and letting it close. If the
guard closes slowly or not completely, it will need
cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it
functions correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air
or a soft brush to remove all accumulated sawdust
or debris from the path of the guard and from
around the guard spring. Should this not correct the
problem, it will need to be serviced by an authorized
service center.
Base Plate Adjustment (Fig. 5, 28, 29)
Your base plate has been factory set to assure that
the blade is perpendicular to the base plate. If after
extended use you need to re-align the blade, follow
the directions below:
ADJUSTING FOR 90 DEGREE CUTS
1. Return the saw to 0 degrees bevel.
2. Place the saw on its side, and retract the lower
guard.
3. Set the depth of cut to 51 mm.
4. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (Fig. 29, G).
Place a square against the blade and the base
plate as shown in Figure 28.
5. Using a wrench (W, Fig. 5), turn the set screw
(AN, Fig. 28) on the underside of the base plate
until the blade and the base plate are both in
flush contact with the square. Retighten the
bevel adjustment lever.
