Operation - DeWalt DW862 Instruction Manual

Water Valve Assembly (Fig. 1)
DW862B
WARNING: Never use water valve assembly without adapter (I).
This could cause damage to the water tubing if excessive pressure
builds up.
1. Never use the saw overhead. When using water, limit cutting to
the horizontal position to reduce the risk of water entering the
tool.
2. Prior to using the tool with the water valve assembly, inspect
water tubing (G) for holes cracks or other damage. Replace with
identical replacement parts if a potential weakened or damaged
area is found. Check connections at the tool inlet (H) and water
tubing adapter (I) for leaks. If the connection is loose or the tubing
is relaxed around barbs, disconnect tubing, trim tubing back
approximately 1" (25.4 mm), then reconnect tubing. Ensure that
tubing is pushed all the way past the barb(s). Check to ensure
tight connection.
3. When using the water kit, always use the water tubing adapter (I)
provided. Attach the tubing adapter to the water source, but do
not overtighten.
Mounting the Wet Cut System (Fig. 1)
DW862B
WARNING: Do not use wet cut system unless tool is protected by
a RCD.
This system minimizes airborne dust particles while improving cutting
quality and blade life.
1. Unclamp the depth adjustment lever (M) and pull shoe to it's
minimum depth of cut position.
2. Using a flat bladed or T20 star screwdriver, remove the tapping
screw (K) located below the depth adjustment lever mounted to
the casting.
3. Position the water valve assembly such that the hole in the water
valve assembly aligns with the screw hole located in the casting
and the forked water valve (L) straddles the blade.
4. Secure in place with tapping screw (K). DO NOT overtighten the
tapping screw; this could damage the water valve assembly.

OPERATION

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect tool from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: Use the appropriate blade. Do not use cracked,
damaged or excessively worn blades.
CAUTION: Wait for the blade to reach the maximum speed and
use a slow even feed for proper cutting.
CAUTION: The DW862 should only be used on horizontal
surfaces (see Water Valve Assembly above).
