Maintenance; Warranty - DeWalt DW715 Instruction Manual

surface finish, may require the use of a clamp or fixture to
prevent movement during the cut. Position the material so
that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as shown
in Figure 19. Figure 19A illustrates the wrong way to cut
these extrusions. Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when
cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax directly to the saw
blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving
blade.
The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial
mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps
chips from adhering to the blade.
Be sure to properly secure workpiece. Refer to page 4 for
correct saw blade.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown
in Figure 20 and never like that shown in Figure 20A.
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 you will encounter a piece of wood a little too
large to fit beneath the blade guard. If this occurs, simply
place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard and
roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as
shown in Figure 16. 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.

Maintenance

1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and
need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even
though slots are provided to allow debris to pass
through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years
of use. If they ever need replacement follow the
instructions on page 7 or return the tool to the nearest
service center for repair. Service center locations are
packed with your tool.
Repairs
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection
and replacement) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service organizations,
always using identical replacement parts.
