have to retract the telescoping guard manually (as is necessary
for starting pocket cuts) always use the retracting lever.
nOtE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that small
cutoff pieces don't hang up on inside of lower guard.
Ripping
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more difficult
for this type of sawing and the use of a D
(Fig. K,
23
) is recommended.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. R)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This
may cause the unit to raise up off the work surface which
could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw foot plate so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the foot plate on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade guard to an
upward position. Lower rear of foot plate until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep
it in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove
hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary handle
shown in Figure R. Position your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before
starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its foot
plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
Dust Extraction (Fig. S)
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
A dust extraction spout

is supplied with your tool.
Vacuum hoses of most common vacuum extractors will fit
directly into the dust extraction spout.
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 operate
e
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 tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the
trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
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.
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.
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.
Blades
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the
saw motor, excessive splintering and increase the possibility
of kickback. Change blades when it is no longer easy to push
the saw through the cut, when the motor is straining, or when
