Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button 16 . A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level
of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge
will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end‑user application.

saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half
of a tooth projects below the surface of the wood to be cut.
nOTE: A method of checking for the correct cutting depth
is shown in the inset in Figure D. Lay a piece of the material
you plan to cut along the side of the blade and observe how
much tooth projects beyond the material.
Bevel Adjustment (Fig. E)
The bevel angle can be adjusted between 0° and 45°.

Rip Guide Installation and Usage (Fig. A, F)
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrow
strips, cutting the grain lengthways. Hand guiding is more
difficult for this type of sawing and the use of the rip guide
is recommended.

WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction
manual before using any accessory. Failure to heed
these warnings may result in personal injury and serious
damage to the saw and accessory. When servicing this
tool, only use identical replacements.

to the tool.
After installing the rip guide on the saw or after moving the
guide to change the rip width setting, check the operation
of the lower guard before starting the saw and making a
cut to make sure that the rip guide does not affect proper
guard operation.
