DW321/DW323 - (fig. A & C)
The D
WALT tool-free system ensures quick and
E
easy changing of saw blades.
• Lift the rotating handle (11) and rotate it
counterclockwise to open the clamp.
• Insert the saw blade into the blade holder (9)
guiding the back of the blade into the groove of
the guide roller (7).
• Turn the rotating handle (11) clockwise until a
click is heard.
• Press the rotating handle down.
• To remove the saw blade proceed in reverse
order.
Setting the mitre angle (fig. D)
The adjustable shoe (6) allows cutting of LH and RH
mitre angles up to 45°. The 0° and 45° positions are
preset.
• Loosen the screw (14) using the Allen key (13)
provided.
• Slide the shoe (6) away from the saw blade.
• Tilt the shoe and set the desired mitre angle with
the help of the scale.
• For intermediate angles, slightly tighten the screw
(14) using the Allen key (13).
• Fine tune the mitre angle and tighten the screw (14).
• To secure the 0° and 45° positions, slide the
shoe back to the front position.
Adjusting the sawdust blower (fig. A)
The sawdust blower conducts an adjustable stream
of air to the saw blade to keep the workpiece clear
of sawdust during operation.
• Adjust the sawdust blower using the lever (10).
It has three levels:
Low
For working with metals, when using
coolants and lubricants and for use with
dust extraction.
Intermediate
For working with wood and similar
materials in low speed.
High
For working with wood and similar
materials in high speed.

Mounting the dust extraction adaptor (fig. E)
• Fit the dust extraction adaptor (5) into the socket.
• Introduce the end of the dust extraction hose into
the adaptor.
• Mount the chip extraction shroud (8) as shown.
• To remove the dust extraction adaptor, press the
lug (16) and pull the adaptor out.
When appropriate, connect a vacuum cleaner
designed in compliance with the applicable
directives regarding dust emission.
Do not use a vacuum cleaner without proper spark
protection when sawing metal.
Mounting and removing the anti-splinter shoe
insert (fig. F)
The anti-splinter shoe insert (17) which fits close to
the saw blade prevents splintering of the workpiece.
• Mount the anti-splinter shoe insert (17) into the
shoe as shown.
• To remove the anti-splinter shoe insert do the
above process in reverse order.
DW321/DW323 - Mounting and removing the
plastic anti-scratch shoe cover (fig. G)
The anti-scratch shoe cover (18) prevents damage
to the surface of (sensitive) workpieces.
• Click the cover onto the shoe as shown.
DW321/DW323 - Setting the electronic sawing
speed (fig. H)
The sawing speed varies with the pressure exerted
on the ON/OFF-switch (1).
• To preset the sawing speed, turn the control dial (2)
to the desired level. The higher the number, the
higher the sawing speed. The required setting
depends on the thickness and kind of material.
After using the tool for an extended
period on low speed settings, run it for
approx. 3 minutes on maximum no-load
speed.
Setting the pendulum stroke (fig. I)
The adjustable pendulum stroke guarantees a
perfect cutting speed for different materials.
