Miter Scale Adjustment; Miter Pointer Adjustment; Bevel Square To Table; Bevel Pointer - DeWalt DW716 Manual De Instrucciones

Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate.
Take a little time now to follow these directions carefully to
maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.
MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5)
Place a square against the saw's fence and blade. (Do not
touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. To do so
will cause an inaccurate measurement.) Unlock miter lock
lever (J) and swing the miter arm until the miter latch locks
it at the 0 miter position. Do not lock miter lock lever (J). If
the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence,
loosen the three screws that hold the miter scale to the
base and move the scale left or right until the blade is per-
pendicular to the fence, as measured with the square.
Retighten the three screws. Pay no attention to the read-
ing of the miter pointer at this time.
MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5, 6)
To unlock, lift the miter lock lever (J) up and squeeze the
miter latch (K) to move the miter arm to the zero position.
With the miter lock lever unlocked allow the miter latch to
snap into place as you rotate the miter arm to zero.
Observe the pointer and miter scale through the viewing
opening 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 (FIG. 7)
To align the blade square to the rotary table, lock the arm
in the down position. Place a square against the blade
taking care to not have the square on top of a tooth.
Loosen the bevel lock knob (L) and ensure the arm is
firmly against the 0˚ bevel stop. Move the 0˚ bevel stop
adjusting screw (T) as necessary so that the blade is at
zero degrees bevel to the table.
BEVEL POINTER (FIG. 7)
If the bevel pointer (M) does not indicate zero, loosen the
screw that holds it in place and move the pointer as nec-
essary. Do not remove the steel plate in front of the bevel
pointer. This plate prevents wood resin from accumulating
on the bevel scale during use.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL STOP TO 45˚ LEFT OR
RIGHT (FIG. 8)
NOTE: Adjust the 45˚ bevel angles only after performing
the 0˚ bevel angle and pointer adjustment. Ensure the 45˚
bevel override levers (N) are pushed inward to obtain an
accurate adjustment.
To adjust the right 45˚ bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock
knob (L) and pull the bevel stop override knob (S) to over-
ride the 0˚ bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if
the pointer does not indicate exactly 45˚, turn the right
bevel stop screw (O) until the pointer indicates 45˚.
To adjust the left 45˚ bevel stop, first loosen the bevel lock

knob (L) and tilt the head to the left. If the pointer does not
indicate exactly 45˚, turn the left bevel stop screw until the
pointer reads 45˚.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL STOP TO 33.85˚ (FIG. 8)
NOTE: Adjust the 33.85˚ bevel angles only after performing
the 0˚ bevel angle and pointer adjustment.
To set the 33.85˚ bevel angle, flip out the stop pawls (P).
Loosen the bevel lock knob (L) and tilt the head to the left.
If the pointer does not indicate exactly 33.85˚, turn the
screw contacting the pawl until the pointer reads 33.85˚.
To adjust the right 33.85˚ bevel angle, flip out the stop
pawl. Loosen the bevel lock knob (L) and pull the bevel
stop override button (S) to override the 0˚ bevel stop.
When the saw is fully to the right, if the pointer does not
indicate exactly 33.85˚, turn the screw contacting the pawl

until the pointer indicates 33.85˚.

FENCE ADJUSTMENT

Turn Off and Unplug the Miter Saw
In order that the saw can bevel to a full 48 degrees left or
right, the fences can be adjusted to provide clearance. To
adjust a fence, loosen the plastic knob (Figure 8, R), 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 support, 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
trigger release. This is not adjustable.
T
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
M
5 times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by
an authorized D
E
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it
from the kerf. The brake is not a substitute for guards.
Ensure your own safety by giving the saw your complete
attention.
