English FIG. 8 3. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of the wood to be cut. 4. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is shown in Figure 8. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown in the figure, and observe how much tooth projects beyond the material. ADJUSTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT LEVER (FIG. 7) It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever (P). It may loosen in time and hit the foot plate before tightening. To tighten the lever, follow the steps below. 1. Hold depth adjustment lever (P) and loosen the locknut (S). 2. Adjust the depth adjustment lever by rotating it in the desired direction about 1/8 of a revolution. 3. Retighten nut. Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. 9) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury. On the front of the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism (G) which consists of an angle quadrant with a pointer (T) and a bevel adjustment lever (F). The angle quadrant allows for coarse adjustment. To achieve better accuracy in cutting, use the fine adjustment markings located on the pivot bracket (U). The full range of bevel adjustment is 0 to 57 degrees. The pivot bracket is graduated in increments of 1 degree. FIG. 9 LOOSEN F TIGHTEN 1. To set the saw for a bevel cut, raise the bevel adjustment lever (F) to loosen the bevel UT G V adjustment. 2. Tilt the foot plate to the desired angle by aligning the pointer (T) with the desired angle mark on the pivot bracket (U). 3. Retighten the bevel adjustment by lowering the lever. Bevel Detent (Fig. 9) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury. The DWE575 and DWE575SB are equipped with a bevel detent feature. As you tilt the foot plate you will hear a click and feel the foot plate stop at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of these is the desired angle, retighten the lever (F) by lowering it. If you desire another angle, continue tilting the foot plate until the coarse bevel pointer (V) or the fine pointer (T) aligns with the desired mark. 9
