English Fig. H 32 Bevel Pointer (Fig. I) If the bevel pointer 29 does not indicate zero, loosen the screw 30 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. Fig. I turn the crown adjustment screw 43 contacting the pawl with a 7/16" (10 mm) wrench until the bevel pointer reads 22.5°. • To adjust the right 22.5° bevel angle, flip out the right 22.5° bevel pawl. Loosen the bevel lock knob and pull the 0° bevel stop to override the 0° bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 22.5°, turn the crown adjustment screw contacting the pawl with a 7/16" (10 mm) wrench until the bevel pointer indicates exactly 22.5°. • To set the 33.9° bevel angle, flip out the stop pawls 41 42 . Loosen the bevel lock knob 11 and tilt the head to the left. If the pointer does not indicate exactly 33.9°, turn the screw contacting the pawl until the pointer reads 33.9°. • To adjust the right 33.9° bevel angle, flip out the stop pawl. Loosen the bevel lock knob 11 and pull the bevel stop override button 31 to override the 0° bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right, if the pointer does not indicate exactly 33.9°, turn the screw contacting the pawl until the pointer indicates 33.9°. Fence Adjustment (Fig. K) 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 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 the guide groove becomes clogged, use a stick, low pressure air or a vacuum to clear. Fig. K 30 14 29 Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 45° Left or Right (Fig. J) NOTE: Adjust the 45° bevel angles 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 right 45° bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock knob 11 and pull the bevel stop override knob 31 to override 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 19 until the pointer indicates 45°. To adjust the left 45° bevel stop, first loosen the bevel lock knob 11 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°. Fig. J 43 41 41 42 19 31 42 11 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. Ensure 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 UN­LESS 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. Fig. L 20 Adjusting the Bevel Stop to 22.5° (or 33.9° and 30°) (Fig. A, J) 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 41 . Loosen the bevel lock knob 11 and tilt the head fully to the left. If the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 22.5°, 6
