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.

Special Cuts
• All cuts are made with the material secured to the table and against
the fence. Be sure to properly secure workpiece.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in figure 34
and never like that shown in figure 35. Positioning the material
incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near the completion of the
cut.
CUTTING 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.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL
Occasionally a piece of wood will be too large to fit beneath the blade
guard. A little extra height can be gained by rolling the guard up out of
the way, as shown in figure 36. 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.
Dust Extraction (fi g. 2, 3)
• Fit the dustbag (ff) onto the dust spout (n).
WARNING! Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction
device designed in accordance with the relevant regulations
regarding dust emission.
Connect a dust collection device designed in accordance with the
relevant regulations. The air velocity of externally connected systems
shall be 20 m/s ±2 m/s. Velocity to be measured in the connection tube
at the point of connection, with the tool connected but not running.
Transporting (fi g. 4)
In order to conveniently carry the mitre saw, a carrying handle (a) has
been included on the top of the saw arm.
• To transport the saw, lower the arm and depress the lock down
pin (o).
• Always use the carrying handle (a) or the hand indentations (r)
shown in figure 4 to transport the saw.
MAINTENANCE
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long
E
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.
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
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.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean
the table top.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean
the dust collection system.
