Once made, these adjustments
should remain a ccurate.
Take alittle time now tofollow these directions carefully to
maintain theaccuracy ofwhich y our s awiscapable.
MITER SCALE
A DJUSTMENT
(FIG. 5)
Place a square against the saw's fence and blade, as
shown. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the
square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.)
Loosen the miter lock handle and swing the miter arm
until the miter latch locks it at the 0 miter position. Do
not tighten the lock handle. If the saw blade is not exactly
perpendicular
to the fence, loosen the four screws that
hold the miter scale to the base and move the scale left
or right until the blade is perpendicular
to the fence, as
measured with the square. Retighten the four screws.
Pay no attention to the reading of the miter pointer at this
time.
MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT
(FIG. 6, 7)
Loosen the miter lock handle to move the miter arm to
the zero position. With the miter lock handle loose allow
the miter latch to snap into place as you rotate the miter
arm to zero. Observe the pointer and miter scale shown
in Figure 6. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero,
loosen the screw holding the pointer in place, reposition
the pointer and tighten the screw.
BEVEL SQUARE TO TABLE ADJUSTMENT
(FIG. 8)
To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the
down position. Place a square against the blade and table
taking care to have the square not touch a blade tooth.
Loosen the bevel lock handle and ensure the bevel latch
has firmly snapped into place at 0°. If the saw blade is not
exactly perpendicular
to the table, loosen the three nuts
which hold the bevel detent plates to the table. Adjust the
center nut to allow slight drag between it and the table.
Gently tap the motor or the belt cover to move the upper
assembly until the blade is square to the table. Tighten the
center nut. The 45 bevel stops require adjustment after the
bevel square to table adjustment is complete.
BEVEL POINTER (FIG. 8)
If the bevel pointers do not indicate zero, loosen each
screw that holds each bevel pointer in place and move
them as necessary.
BEVEL STOP 45 ° RIGHT AND LEFT ADJUSTMENT
(FIG. 8)
Your saw has two 45 ° bevel adjustments, one for the right,
and one for the left. The procedure is the same for each.
To align the 45 ° stops, lock the arm in the down position.
Place a speed square against the blade and table taking
care to have the square not touch a blade tooth. Loosen
the bevel lock lever and ensure the bevel latch has firmly
snapped into place at 45 ° . If the saw blade is not 45 ° to the
table, loosen the nut which holds the 45 bevel latch plate
to the table. Rotate the adjustment screw counterclock-
wise one or two turns so that the blade is less than 45 ° to

FENCE ADJUSTMENT
(FIG. 9)
i_ WARNING: Turn off tool and disconnect
from power
source before attempting to move it, changing accesso-
ries or making any adjustments accept as written in laser
adjustment instructions.
In order that the saw can bevel to a full 48 ° left or right,
one of the fences can be adjusted to provide clearance.
To adjust the fences, loosen a plastic knob and slide the
fence outward. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and
check for clearance. Adjust the fence to be as close to the
blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece sup-
port, without interfering with arm up and down movement.
Tighten knob securely. When the bevel operations
are
complete, don't forget to relocate the fence.
NOTE: The guide groove
of the fences
can become
clogged with sawdust.
If you notice that it is becoming
clogged, use a stick or some low pressure air to clear the
guide groove.
AUTOMATIC
ELECTRIC BRAKE
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade
brake which stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of trig-
ger release. This is not adjustable.
On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to
brake engagement. On rare occasions, the brake may not
engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop.
If a delay or "skipping" occurs, turn the saw on and off 4 or
5 times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by
an authorized DEWALT service center.
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it
from the ken<. T he brake is not a substitute for guards or for
ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your complete
attention.
