Accessories
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are
available at extra cost from your local service center.
CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended
accessory such as dado sets, molding cutters, or
abrasive wheels may be hazardous.
If you need assistance in locating any accessory, please
contact D
E WALT Industrial Tool Co., 701 East Joppa
Road, Baltimore, MD 21286 or call 1-800-4-D E WALT
(1-800-433-9258).
Bench Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench
mounting, as shown in Figure 2. (Two different sized
holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of
screws. Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.)
Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To
enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a
piece of 1/2" or thicker plywood which can then be
clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of
plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don’t
protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must
sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to
any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping
at any other point will surely interfere with the proper
operation of the saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be
sure the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise
uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin
piece of material under one saw foot until the saw sits
firmly on the mounting surface.
Installing a New Saw Blade (Fig. 5)
(UNPLUG THE MITER SAW)
DO NOT CUT FERROUS METAL (THAT WITH AN
IRON OR STEEL CONTENT) OR MASONRY WITH
THIS MITER SAW.
With the saw arm in the upper position, raise the lower
guard as far as possible. Loosen (but do not remove) the
guard bracket screw, until the guard bracket can be
raised enough to permit access to the blade screw. The
blade guard will be held in the raised position by the
guard bracket screw. Depress the spindle lock button.
Use the supplied blade wrench in the other hand to
loosen (clockwise) the left hand threaded blade screw.
NOTE: To use the spindle lock, depress the button as shown
and rotate the blade by hand until you feel the lock engage.
Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from
turning. Remove the blade screw and the blade.
