GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-

operated (cordless) powertool.

Work Area Safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents.

b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

orfumes.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to losecontrol.

Electrical Safety

d ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electricshock.

e ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed

orgrounded.

f ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electricshock.

g ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of electricshock.

h ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.

i ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground

fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of

electricshock.

Personal Safety

j ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personalinjury.

k ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.

l ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the

switch on invitesaccidents.

m ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a

key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personalinjury.

n ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations.

o ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

movingparts.

p ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

relatedhazards.

q ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become

complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury

within a fraction of asecond.

Power Tool Use and Care

r ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.

ENGLISH

s ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.

t ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,

if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power toolaccidentally.

u ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.

v ) Maintain power tools and accesories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained powertools.

w ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

x ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardoussituation.

y ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in

unexpectedsituations.

Battery Tool Use and Care

z ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

batterypack.

aa ) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire.

ab ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or afire.

ac ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.

ad ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk ofinjury.

ae ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire

or temperature above 265 °F (130°C) may causeexplosion.

af ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside

the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of

fire.

Service

ag ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.

ah ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed

by the manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.

Safety Instructions for Miter Saws

a ) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used

with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs,

etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive

cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plasticparts.

b ) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the

workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 4" (100 mm) from

either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to

be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,

there is an increased risk of injury from bladecontact.

c ) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and

the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way.

Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causinginjury.

d ) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To

make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting,

start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece.

Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece

and violently throw the blade assembly towards theoperator.

e ) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the

saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right

of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is verydangerous.

f ) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side

of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade

is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and

you may be seriouslyinjured.

g ) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp

it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there

is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or

warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw

blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in theworkpiece.

h ) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except

for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the

revolving blade can be thrown with highspeed.

i ) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately

clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift duringcutting.

j ) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use.

A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becomingunstable.

k ) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make sure

the fence will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning

the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete

simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting thefence.

l ) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece

that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the miter

saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the

lower guard or be thrown by the spinningblade.

m ) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional

support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to

shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinningblade.

n ) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the

spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged

against the blade and thrownviolently.

o ) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such

as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite”

and pull the work with your hand into theblade.

p ) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk

of the workpiece beingthrown.

q ) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off. Wait for all

moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove

the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a

jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitersaw.

r ) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for

the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the

coasting blade isdangerous.

s ) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the

switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of

the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk ofinjury.

Additional Safety Rules for Miter Saws

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to replace

safety rules. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict

severeinjury.

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury

couldresult.

• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to

the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause seriousinjury.

• OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not

thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge issafety.

• FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock

or electrocution. Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere time-delay fuse or a

circuitbreaker.

• MAKE CERTAIN the blade rotates in the correct direction. The teeth on the blade should point in

the direction of rotation as marked on thesaw.

• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, knobs and levers prior to operation. Loose clamps can cause

parts or the workpiece to be thrown at highspeeds.

• BE SURE all blade and blade clamps are clean, recessed sides of blade clamps are against blade

and arbor screw is tightened securely. Loose or improper blade clamping may result in damage

to the saw and possible personalinjury.

• DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE for the saw.

Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury mayoccur.

• DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold the motor shaft. Damage to tool and

possible personal injury mayoccur.

• NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS or masonry. Either of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off

the blade at high speeds causing seriousinjury.

• NEVER PLACE HANDS CLOSER THAN 4" (100 mm) FROM THEBLADE.

• NEVER HAVE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN LINE WITH THE PATH OF THE SAW BLADE.

Personal injury willoccur.

• NEVER APPLY BLADE LUBRICANT TO A RUNNING BLADE. Applying lubricant could cause

your hand to move into the blade resulting in seriousinjury.

• DO NOT place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source.

Inadvertent blade activation may result in seriousinjury.

• NEVER REACH AROUND OR BEHIND THE SAW BLADE. A blade can cause seriousinjury.

ENGLISH

• DO NOT REACH UNDERNEATH THE SAW unless it is unplugged and turned off. Contact with

saw blade may cause personalinjury.

• SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can possibly cause

the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing seriousinjury.

• USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES recommended for miter saws. For best results, do not

use carbide tipped blades with hook angles in excess of 7 degrees. Do not use blades with deep

gullets. These can deflect and contact the guard, and can cause damage to the machine and/or

seriousinjury.

• USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE specified for this tool to prevent

damage to the machine and/or seriousinjury.

• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage prior to operation. A cracked or damaged

blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury. Replace

cracked or damaged bladesimmediately.

• CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS prior to operation. Cleaning the blade and blade

clamps allows you to check for any damage to the blade or blade clamps. A cracked or damaged

blade or blade clamp can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing

seriousinjury.

• DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from vibration. A

vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or seriousinjury.

• DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic

guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certainchemicals.

• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in workingorder.

• ALWAYS USE THE KERF PLATE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE WHEN DAMAGED. Small chip

accumulation under the saw may interfere with the saw blade or may cause instability of

workpiece whencutting.

• USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL to prevent damage to the machine

and/or seriousinjury.

• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can cause the

machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which could cause

seriousinjury.

• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION. Severe personal injury mayresult.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is

unintentionallycontacted.

• WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other materials may cause melted

material to accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk

of blade overheating and binding whilecutting.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED

SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these chemicalsare:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treatedlumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with

soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmfulchemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious

and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory

protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face andbody.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection during use. Under some

Electrical Connection

Be sure your power source agrees with the nameplate marking. AC means that your saw will

operate on alternating current. Do not operate with DC power. A voltage decrease of 10 percent

or more will cause a loss of power and overheating. All DeWALT tools are factory tested. If this

tool does not operate, check the powersupply.

This miter saw operates on either two 60V battery packs or by using the DeWALT corded

powersupply.

Using the Corded Power Supply (Fig. B)

The DeWALT corded power supply is designed to provide power for DeWALT 120V Max*

FLEXVOLT cordless tools. Insert the corded power supply into the miter saw battery slot (refer to

Installing and Removing the Corded Power Supply into and from Tool and plug the power

supply into an AC outlet. The power supply will act as the power source to the tool. Your DeWALT

corded power supply should only be used with standard household power or a generator.

The corded power supply is suitable for use with both grounded and double insulated tools.

When the power supply is utilized with a grounded tool, the tool inlet will be equipped with a

ground prong that allows the ground path from the tool to connect to the power supply. When

the power supply is used with this double insulated miter saw, no ground connection is made

from the tool to the power supply as no ground connection isrequired.

can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack

in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,

keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals

inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand

tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations

(HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in carry-on

baggage UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting

individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well

insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit.

NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in checkedbaggage.

Shipping the DeWALT FLEXVOLT® Battery

The DeWALT FLEXVOLT® battery has two modes: Use and Shipping.

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT® battery stands alone or is in a DeWALT 20V Max* product, it will

operate as a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT® battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two

60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max* battery.

Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT®

battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode. Strings of cells are

electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three

batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one

battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity

of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping

regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hourbatteries.

The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery

is shipped, the appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping

requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt

hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be

considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.

USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh

Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking

For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours

each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. C)

Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that

indicate the level of charge remaining in the batterypack.

The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack

according to the followingindicators:

75–100% charged

51–74% charged

< 50% charged

Pack needs to be charged

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three

green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in

the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need

to berecharged.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the battery pack,

charger and power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result

in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in

this manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to worktogether.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging DeWALT

rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the

risk of damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or

otherwise subjected to damage orstress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension

cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry location and use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electricshock.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that

might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger

in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and

the bottom of thehousing.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord orplug.

• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise

damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized servicecenter.

• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an authorized service center when service

or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution

orfire.

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce

the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce thisrisk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power. Do not

attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicularcharger.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock

mayresult.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid

to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic

housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center forrecycling.

ENGLISH

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DeWALT rechargeable

battery packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst resulting in personal injury

and propertydamage.

NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the

charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such

as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of

metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger

from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before

attempting toclean.

Charging a Battery (Fig. D)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting batterypack.

FIG. D

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the

charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process

hasstarted.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The

battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove

the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button on the battery pack and

then slide the battery pack out of thecharger.

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery

pack fully before firstuse.

Charger Operation

Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the batterypack.

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

Charging

Fully Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132: The red light will continue to blink,

but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has

reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume

the chargingprocedure.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty

battery pack by refusing tolight.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.

If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an

authorized servicecenter.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a

Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate

temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature

ensures maximum battery packlife.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will

charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum

charge rate even if the battery packwarms.

The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan

will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to becooled.

Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked.

Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack

against overloading, overheating or deepdischarge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs,

place the lithium-ion battery pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.

Wall Mounting

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If

wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or

other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the

location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws

(purchased separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35"

(7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of

the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully

engage them in theslots.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt

and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-

metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaningsolutions.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the

air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack

below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will prevent serious

damage to the batterypack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a

normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery

pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a

metal shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you

turn out the lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is

approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local

servicecenter.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which

were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the

charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no

adverse effect on the batterypack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal

chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away

from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no

battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting toclean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any otherliquid.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat

orcold.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place

out of the charger for optimalresults.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will

need to be recharged beforeuse.

Automatic Electric Blade 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 rare occasions the brake may not engage

and the blade will coast to a stop. If this occurs, wait for several minutes before continuing use.

ENGLISH

If the condition persists, there may be a fault condition. Have the tool serviced by an authorized

DeWALT servicecenter.

Always be sure the blade has stopped before raising the arm and removing the blade from the

kerf plate. The brake is not a substitute for guards. Ensure your own safety by giving the saw your

completeattention.

Guard Actuation and Visibility

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. Refer

to Cutting Large Material under SpecialCuts.

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

dramatically reduce flying debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be

worn at all times when viewing through thelouvers.

Bevel Stop 45º Right and Left Adjustment (Fig.H, I)

There are two bevel stop override levers, one on each side of thesaw.

To adjust the right 45° bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock knob26 and pull the 0° bevel override

lever29 to override the 0° bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer16

does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the left 45° bevel adjustment screw35 with the 1/2" blade

wrench until the bevel pointer indicates 45°.

To adjust the left 45° bevel angle, first loosen the bevel lock knob26 and tilt the head to the

left. If the bevel pointer16 does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the right 45° bevel adjustment

screw35 until the bevel pointer reads 45°.

Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 33.9°) (Fig.H, I)

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

pointeradjustment.

To set the left 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the left 22.5° bevel pawl32. Loosen the bevel lock

knob26 and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel pointer16 does not indicate exactly 22.5°,

turn the crown adjustment screw33 contacting the pawl with a 7/16" wrench until the bevel

pointer reads 22.5°.

To adjust the right 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the right 22.5° bevel pawl32. Loosen the bevel

lock knob26 and pull the 0° bevel override lever29 to override the 0° bevel stop. When the

saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer16 does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown

adjustment screw33 contacting the pawl with a 7/16" wrench until the bevel pointer indicates

exactly 22.5°.

Fence Adjustment (Fig.H)

In order that the saw can bevel to many bevel positions, one of the fences may have to be

adjusted to provide clearance. To adjust each fence, loosen the fence adjustment knob53 and

slide the fence14 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 the fence adjustment knob

securely. When the bevel operations are complete, don’t forget to relocate thefence.

For certain cuts, it may be desirable to bring the fences closer to the blade. To use this feature,

back the fence adjustment knobs out two turns and move the fences closer to the blade past the

normal limit, then tighten the fence adjustment knobs to keep the fences in this location. When

using this feature, make a dry cut first to ensure the blade does not contact thefences.

NOTE: The tracks of the fences can become clogged with sawdust. If you notice that they are

becoming clogged, use a brush or some low pressure air to clear the guidegrooves.

Rail Guide Adjustment (Fig.A)

Periodically check the rails for any play or clearance. The right rail can be adjusted with the rail

adjustment screw23 shown in FigureA. To reduce clearance, use a 4 mm hex wrench and

rotate the rail adjustment screw clockwise gradually while sliding the saw head back and forth.

Reduce play while maintaining minimum slideforce.

To turn the saw on, push the lock-off button3 to the left, then depress the trigger switch2.

The saw will run while the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full operating speed

before making the cut. To turn the saw off, release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before

raising the saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A hole45 is provided in the

trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the switchoff.

Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from thekerf.

Fig. V

Body and Hand Position (Fig. W, X)

Proper positioning of your body and hands is crucial when operating the miter saw. Never place

hands inside the cutting area between the two red lines on the base while the blade is turning.

Clamp or hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. Keep both hands

in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped. ALWAYS

MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF

THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS HANDS, AS SHOWN IN FIGUREX.

Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you move the miter arm

left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. Sight through the guard

louvers when following a pencilline.

Through-Cutting Operations

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

the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,

cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental

start-up can causeinjury.

If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is pushed back as far as possible and the rail

lock knob (22, Fig.A) is tightened. This will prevent the saw from sliding along its rails as the

workpiece isengaged.

NOTE: Although this saw will cut wood and many non-ferrous materials, we will limit our

detailed discussion to the cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other materials.

DO NOT CUT FERROUS (IRON AND STEEL) MAT ERIALS, MASONRY OR FIBER CEMENT WITH

THIS SAW. Do not use any abrasiveblades.

NOTE: Refer to Guard Actuation and Visibility in the Features and Controls section for

important information about the lower guard beforecutting.

Crosscuts (Fig. A, Y)

A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any angle. A straight crosscut is made

with the miter arm at the zero degree position. Set and lock the miter arm at zero, hold the wood

firmly on the table and against the fence. With the rail lock knob22 tightened, turn on the saw

by squeezing the trigger switch shown in FigureA.

When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower the arm smoothly and slowly to cut

through the wood. Let the blade come to a full stop before raisingarm.

Fig. Y

When cutting anything larger than a 2 x 8 (51 x 203mm [2 x 6 (51 x 152) at 45º miter]) use an

out-down-back motion with the rail lock knob22 loosened. Pull the saw out, toward you, lower

the saw head down toward the workpiece, and slowly push the saw back to complete the cut.

Do not allow the saw to contact the top of the workpiece while pulling out. The saw may run

toward you, possibly causing personal injury or damage to theworkpiece.

Cutting of multiple pieces is not recommended but can be done safely by ensuring that each

piece is held firmly against the table andfence.

NOTE: To provide greater crosscut capacity with reduced stroke, the blade on the saw extends

deeper into the table. As a result, a greater lifting force on the workpiece may be experienced

during thecut.

CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of workpiece

damage and personal injury, if your hands are required to be within 4" (100 mm) of the blade

during thecut.

NOTE: The rail lock knob22 shown in FigureA must be loose to allow the saw to slide along

itsrails.

Miter crosscuts are made with the miter arm at some angle other than zero. This angle is often

45º for making corners, but can be set anywhere from zero to 50º left or 60° right. Make the cut as

describedabove.

When performing a miter cut on workpieces wider than a 2 x 6 that are shorter in length, always

place the longer side against thefence.

To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood, match the angle as close as possible.

Cut the wood a little too long and measure from the pencil line to the cut edge to determine

which direction to adjust the miter angle and recut. This will take some practice, but it is a

commonly usedtechnique.

Bevel Cuts

A bevel cut is a crosscut made with the saw blade leaning at an angle to the wood. In order to

set the bevel, loosen the bevel lock (26, Fig.A), and move the saw to the left or right as desired.

(It is necessary to move the fence to allow clearance.) Once the desired bevel angle has been set,

tighten the bevel lock firmly. Refer to the Features and Controls section for detailed instructions

on the bevelsystem.

Bevel angles can be set from 49º right to 49º left and can be cut with the miter arm set between

50º left or 60º right. At some extreme angles, the right or left side fence might have to be

removed. To remove the left or right fence, unscrew the fence adjustment knob several turns and

slide the fenceout.

NOTE: Refer to Fence Adjustment in the Adjustments section for important information on

adjusting the fences for certain bevelcuts.

Quality of Cut

The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables. Things like material being cut,

blade type, blade sharpness and rate of cut all contribute to the quality of thecut.

When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth

carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desiredresults.

Ensure that the material does not move or creep while cutting; clamp it securely in place. Always

let the blade come to a full stop before raisingarm.

If small fibers of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape

on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape

whenfinished.

For varied cutting applications, refer to the list of recommended saw blades for your saw and

select the one that best fits your needs. Refer to Saw Blades underAccessories.

ENGLISH

Non-Through-Cutting (Grooving and Rabbeting)

Instructions in the Crosscuts, Bevel Cuts and Cutting Compound Miters sections are for cuts

made through the full thickness of the material. The saw can also perform non-through cuts to

form grooves or rabbets in thematerial.

Groove Cut (Fig. A)

Refer to Depth Stop for detailed instructions for setting Hold the wood firmly on the table

and against the fence14 . Align the cut area underneath the blade. Position the saw arm fully

forward, with blade in down position. Turn on the saw by squeezing the trigger switch2 shown

in FigureA. Smoothly, push saw arm rearward to cut a groove through the workpiece.

Release the trigger switch with the saw arm down. When saw blade has completely stopped,

raise the saw arm. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising thearm.

To widen the groove, repeat steps 1–4 until the desired width isobtained.

Clamping the Workpiece

WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure before a cut may become

unbalanced after a cut is completed. An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the

saw is attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut that may become

unbalanced, properly support the workpiece and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable

surface. Personal injury mayoccur.

WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the base of the saw whenever the

clamp is used. Always clamp the workpiece to the base of the saw – not to any other part of

the work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of the base of thesaw.

CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of workpiece

damage and personal injury, if your hands are required to be within 4" (100mm) of the blade

during thecut.

If you cannot secure the workpiece on the table and against the fence by hand (irregular shape,

etc.), or your hand would be less than 4" (100 mm) from the blade, a clamp or other fixture must

beused.

Use the material clamp provided with your saw. To purchase the material clamp, contact your

local retailer or DeWALT servicecenter.

Other aids such as spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes

and shapes of material. Use care in selecting and placing these clamps. Take time to make a dry

run before making the cut. The left or right fence will slide from side to side to aid inclamping.

To Install Clamp

1. Insert it into the hole (27, Fig.A) behind the fence. The clamp should be facing toward the

back of the miter saw. The groove on the clamp rod should be fully inserted into the base.

Ensure this groove is fully inserted into the base of the miter saw. If the groove is visible, the

clamp will not besecure.

2. Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the mitersaw.

3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use the fine adjust knob to firmly

clamp theworkpiece.

NOTE: Place the clamp on the opposite side of the base when beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY

RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE

CLAMP DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW ORGUARDS.

Support for Long Pieces

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

the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,

cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental

start-up can causeinjury.

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONGPIECES.

Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension, as additional support for a

workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table or to help feed, support or pull

theworkpiece.

For best results, use the DW7080 extension work support to extend the table width of your saw,

available from your dealer at extra cost. Support long workpieces using any convenient means

such as sawhorses or similar devices to keep the ends fromdropping.

Cutting Picture Frames, Shadow Boxes And Other Four-Sided

Projects (Fig.Z,AA)

To best understand how to make the items listed here, we suggest that you try a few simple

projects using scrap wood until you develop a “feel” for yoursaw.

Your saw is the perfect tool for mitering corners like the one shown in FigureZ. Sketch 1 in

FigureAA shows a joint made by using the bevel adjustment to bevel the edges of the two

boards at 45º each to produce a 90º corner. For this joint the miter arm was locked in the zero

position and the bevel adjustment was locked at 45º. The wood was positioned with the broad

flat side against the table and the narrow edge against the fence. The cut could also be made by

mitering right and left with the broad surface against thefence.

Fig. Z

Fig. AA

Cutting Trim Molding And Other Frames (Fig.AA)

Sketch 2 in FigureAA shows a joint made by setting the miter arm at 45º to miter the two boards

to form a 90º corner. To make this type of joint, set the bevel adjustment to zero and the miter

arm to 45º. Once again, position the wood with the broad flat side on the table and the narrow

edge against thefence.

The two sketches in FigureAA are for four-sided objectsonly.

As the number of sides changes, so do the miter and bevel angles. The chart below gives the

proper angles for a variety ofshapes.

– EXAMPLES –

NUMBER OF SIDES MITER OR BEVEL ANGLE

4 45°

5 36°

6 30°

7 25.7°

8 22.5°

9 20°

10 18°

The chart assumes that all sides are of equal length. For a shape that is not shown in the chart,

use the following formula: 180º divided by the number of sides equals the miter (if the material is

cut vertically) or bevel angle (if the material is cut laying flat).

Cutting Compound Miters (Fig.BB)

A compound miter is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This is

the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in FigureBB.

NOTE: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the bevel lock knob and the miter

lock handle are securely locked. These must be locked after making any changes in bevel

ormiter.

The chart at the end of this manual (Table 1) will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and

miter settings for common compound miter cuts. To use the chart, select the desired angleA

(Fig.BB) of your project and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point

follow the chart straight down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the

correct miterangle.

Fig. BB

Angle “A”

Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts. Practice fitting the cut pieces

together until you develop a feel for this procedure and feel comfortable withit.

Example: To make a 4-sided box with 26º exterior angles (Angle A, Fig.BB), use the upper right

arc. Find 26° on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to get miter

angle setting on saw (42°). Likewise, follow the vertical intersecting line to the top or bottom to

get the bevel angle setting on the saw (18°). Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to

verify the settings on thesaw.

Cutting Base Molding (Fig.K, CC)

ALWAYS MAKE A DRY RUN WITHOUT POWER BEFORE MAKING ANYCUTS.

Straight 90º cuts:

Position the wood against the fence and hold it in place as shown in FigureCC. Turn on the saw,

allow the blade to reach full speed and lower the arm smoothly through thecut.

Cutting Base Molding from 3" UP TO 6.75" (76 mm to 171 mm) High Vertically Against

the Fence

NOTE: Use the slide lock lever43, shown in FigureK, when cutting base molding measuring

from 3" to 6.75" (76 mm to 171 mm) high vertically against thefence.

Position material as shown in FigureCC.

Cutting Crown Molding

Your miter saw is well suited to the task of cutting crown molding. In order to fit properly, crown

molding must be compound mitered with extremeaccuracy.

The two flat surfaces on a given piece of crown molding are at angles that, when added together,

equal exactly 90º. Most, but not all, crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits flat

against the ceiling) of 52º and a bottom rear angle (the part that fits flat against the wall) of38º.

Your miter saw has special pre-set miter latch points at 31.62º left and right for cutting crown

molding at the proper angle and bevel stop pawls at 33.9º left and right. There is also a mark on

the bevel scale at 33.9º.

The chart below gives the proper settings for cutting crown molding. (The numbers for the miter

and bevel settings are very precise and are not easy to accurately set on your saw.) Since most

rooms do not have angles of precisely 90º, you will have to fine tune your settingsanyway.

PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

When setting bevel and miter angles for all compound miters, remember that:

The angles presented for crown moldings are very precise and difficult to set exactly. Since they

can easily shift slightly and very few rooms have exactly square corners, all settings should be

tested on scrapmolding.

Fence

Table

Crown molding flat on table and against fence

PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

Alternative Method for Cutting Crown Molding (Fig. EE)

Place the molding on the table at an angle between the fence and the saw table, as shown in

FigureEE. Use of the crown molding fence accessory (DW7084) is highly recommended because

of its degree of accuracy and convenience (Refer to Optional Accessories). The crown molding

fence accessory is available for purchase from your localdealer.

The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel cut is required.

Minute changes in the miter angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. This way,

when corners other than 90º are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for

them. Use the crown molding fence accessory to maintain the angle at which the molding will

be on thewall.

Instructions for Cutting Crown Molding Angled Between the

Fence and Base of the Saw For All Cuts

1. Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (part which goes against the wall when

installed) is against the fence and the top of the molding is resting on the saw table, as

shown in FigureEE.

2. The angled “flats” on the back of the molding must rest squarely on the fence and sawtable.

Aluminum Cutting (Fig. FF, GG)

ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR CUTTING ALUMINUM. These

are available at your local DeWALT retailer or DeWALT service center. Certain workpieces, due to

their size, shape or surface finish, may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement

during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as

shown in FigureFF. FigureGG illustrates the wrong way to cut theseextrusions.

Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax cutting lubricant

directly to the saw blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade. The wax,

available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication

and keeps chips from adhering to theblade.

Be sure to properly secureworkpiece.

Refer to Saw Blades under Optional Accessories for correct sawblade.

Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material

Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED OR

HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important when

making anglecuts.

Cutting Large Material (Fig. JJ)

Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the lower guard.

If this occurs, simply place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard and roll the guard up

just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in Figure JJ. Avoid doing this as much as possible,

but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR

OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THISSAW.

MAINTENANCE

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

the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,

cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental

start-up can causeinjury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO NOT touch the sharp

points on the blade with fingers or hands while performing anymaintenance.

DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic

guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certainchemicals.

• All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no furthermaintenance.

• Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the

rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust

willaccumulate.

Removing and Replacing Belt (Fig.A, KK)

The belt is designed to last the life of the tool. However, abuse of the tool could cause the belt

tofail.

If the blade does not turn when the motor is running, the belt has failed. To inspect or replace

the belt, remove the belt cover screws. Remove the belt cover. Inspect the ribs of the belt for

wear or failure. Check belt tension by squeezing the belt. The belt halves should almost touch

when squeezing firmly with the thumb and index finger. To adjust the tension, loosen, but do not

remove, the four crosshead screws62. Then rotate the set screw63 on the top of the motor

plate casting until the proper tension is achieved. Tighten the four screws securely and replace

the beltcover.

NOTICE: Overtightening the belt will cause premature motorfailure.

Dust Duct Cleaning

Depending on your cutting environment, saw dust can clog the dust duct and may prevent dust

from flowing away from the cutting area properly. With the battery pack or corded power supply

removed and the saw head raised fully, low pressure air or a large diameter dowel rod can be

used to clear the dust out of the dustduct.

CUTLINE™ LED Worklight Cleaning

For the best worklight performance, perform the following maintenance regularly with the

battery or corded power supplyremoved.

• Carefully clean sawdust and debris from worklight lens with a cottonswab.

• DO NOT use solvents of any kind, they may damage thelens.

• Dust build-up can block the worklight and prevent it from accurately indicating the line
