Maintenance - DeWalt XR Li-Ion DCS373-XE Instruction Manual

CAUTION: Do not cut through bolts with the metal-cutting saw. Damage to the saw
or personal injury could result.
Maximizing Blade Life
To extend blade life, follow these practices:
• Do not force the blade through the metal. The saw must cut at its own pace and
at a constant rate.
• Change blades when it is no longer easy to push the saw through the cut, when
the motor is straining, or when excessive heat is built up in the blade.
• Keep base of the saw firmly against metal you are cutting.
• If the metal you are cutting is vibrating or shaking, clamp the material as close to
the cut as possible and slow down the cutting rate.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or
when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Replacing Sight Window (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate the saw with a damaged or missing sight window.

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
certified service center for a thorough cleaning, inspection, and lubrication of the gear
case.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once
a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear AS/NZS1337 approved eye
protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-
metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic 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.
CAUTION: Do not use any cleaning fluids on the sight window to avoid clouding
it and compromising the safe operation of the saw. Use compressed air to remove
accumulated dust from the inside of the sight window. Wear safety glasses when
performing this.
