If the bevel pointer

does not indicate zero, loosen the screw

that holds it in place and

move the pointer as necessary. 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 (Fig. A, I, J)

NOTE: Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing the 0° bevel angle and pointer

adjustment. Ensure the 45° bevel override levers

20

are pushed inward to obtain an

accurateadjustment.

To adjust the left 45° bevel stop, first loosen the bevel lock knob

11

and tilt the head to the left.

If the bevel pointer

does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the left bevel stop screw until the

pointer reads45°.

Fence Adjustment (Fig. K)



WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and

disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change

accessories or make anyadjustments.

In order that the saw can bevel to a full 48° left, the fences can be adjusted to provide clearance.

To adjust a fence, loosen the fence lock knob

14

, 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 max imum 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 the guide groove

becomes clogged, use a stick, low pressure air or a vacuum toclear.

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.

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 kerf plate. The brake is not a

substitute for guards or for ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your completeattention.

Guard Actuation and Visibility (Fig. L)



CAUTION: Pinch Hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, keep thumb underneath the handle

when pulling the handle down. The lower guard will move up as the handle is pulled down

which could causepinching.

The blade guard on your saw has been designed to automatically raise when the arm is brought

down and to lower over the blade when the arm israised.

The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the

saw. NEVER RAISE THE BLADE GUARD MANUALLY UN LESS THE SAW IS TURNEDOFF.

NOTE: Certain special cuts of large material will require that you manually raise the guard. The

front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting. Although the louvers dramatically

reduce flying debris, there are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all

times. Refer to Cutting Large Material under SpecialCuts.

detent override switchupward.

Bevel Lock (Fig. J)

The bevel lock knob

11

handle and adjust the bevel setting, turn the handle counter clock wise, the saw head bevels easily

to the left. To tighten, turn the handle clockwise. Bevel degree markings are on the bottom front

of the saw arm (Fig.H).
