English 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. L) Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the lower guard. To clear the guard over the wood, with the motor off and your right hand on the operating handle, place your right thumb outside of the upper portion of the guard and roll the guard up just enough to clear the wood, as shown in Figure L. Release the guard prior to starting the motor. The guard mechanism will function properly during the cut. Only do this when necessary. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before making any adjustments 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. 1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no further maintenance. 2. 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. 3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. To replace the brushes refer to Brushes or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair. A list of service center locations is packed with your tool. Brushes (Fig. Z) 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. Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging the tool, removing the motor end cap 36 by removing the two screws that secure it, and removing the brush cap that holds the spring-loaded brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush in the same orientation in the holder as it was prior to its removal. If the brush is worn down to approximately 1/2" (12.7 mm), the spring will no longer exert pressure and they must be replaced. Use only identical DeWALT brushes. Use of the correct grade of brush is essential for proper operation of electric brake. New brush assemblies are available at DeWALT service centers. The tool should be allowed to "run in" (run at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes. The electric brake may be erratic in operation until the brushes are properly seated (worn in). Always replace the brush inspection cap after inspection or servicing the brushes. While "running in" DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHER­WISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY. Fig. Z 36 Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this procedure. WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
