Important Safety Instructions for all ToolsWARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before operating the sliding

compound miter saw. Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury and seriousdamage to the saw. When servicing this tool, use only identical replacement parts. Havedamaged cords replaced by an authorized service center. DOUBLE INSULATIONDouble insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electricalinsulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tools electrical system.Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool isequipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern formaintaining a ground connection.NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operatingthis tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possibleelectrical insulation failure within the tool.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repairor replace damaged cords.POLARIZED PLUGSTo reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider thanthe other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully intothe outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the properoutlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed toreduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following: KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys

and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. DONT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Dont use power tools in damp or wet

locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lighted. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter

keys. DONT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed. USE RIGHT TOOL. Dont force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current yourproduct will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss ofpower and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending oncord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. Thesmaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Minimum Gage for Cord SetsVolts Total Length of Cord in Feet120V 0-25 26-50 51-100 101-150Ampere RatingMore Not more AWGThan Than12 - 16 14 12 Not Recommended

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear isrecommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often covermoving parts and should also be avoided.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation isdusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safetyglasses.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or vise when you cannot secure the workpiece on thetable and against the fence by hand or when your hand will be dangerously close to theblade (within 6)

DONT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades,

clamps, extensions, and the like. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off

position before plugging in. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for

recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury topersons.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cuttingtool is unintentionally contacted.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that isdamaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly andperform its intended functioncheck for alignment of moving parts, binding of movingparts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Dont leavetool until it comes to a complete stop.

REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.Additional Safety Rules for Sliding Compound Miter Saw Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. . Keep hands out of path of saw blade. NEVER CUT A PIECE WHERE HAND WOULD BE

6" (152 mm) OR LESS FROM BLADE. Do not operate saw without guards in place. Do not perform any operation freehand, that is without holding or clamping the workpiece

against the fence and saw blade. Never reach in back of the saw blade. Turn off the tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving the workpiece or changing

settings. Disconnect power before changing the blade or servicing. Blade adjustment is to be made only with the power off and the blade stopped. Never use the saw without the kerf plate. Replace the kerf plate when it is worn. To reduce risk of injury, return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut

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

breaker. DO-Make certain the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the teeth at the bottom

of the blade are pointing to the rear of the sliding compound miter saw. DO use stabilizer bar at all times. DO-Be sure all clamp handles and knobs are tight before starting any operation. DO-Be sure all blade and clamp washers are clean and recessed sides of collars are

against blade. Tighten arbor screw securely. DO- Keep the saw blade sharp and properly aligned. DO-Keep the motor air slots free of chips and dirt. DO-Use the blade guard at all times.

DO-Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. DO-Shut off power, disconnect cord from power source and wait for the saw blade to stop

before servicing or adjusting tool. DO-Support long work with an outboard tool rest. DONT-Attempt to operate on anything but designated voltage. Incorrect voltage may result

in shock, fire, or unpredictable operation. DONT-Operate unless all knobs and clamp handles are tight. DONT- Use blades larger or smaller than those which are recommended. DONT- Wedge anything against fan to hold motor shaft. DONT-Force cutting action. Allow motor to reach full speed before cutting. Stalling

or partial stalling of motor can cause major damage. DONT- Cut ferrous metals (those with any iron or steel content), any masonry, or fiber

cement products. DONT-Use abrasive wheels. The excessive heat and abrasive particles generated by

them will damage the saw. DONT -Use any abrasive blades. DONT-Allow anyone to stand behind saw. DONT-Apply lubricants to the blade when its running. DONT-Place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source. DONT-Use blades rated less than 4800 R.P.M. DONT-Attempt to cut small pieces 6" (152mm) without clamping. DONT-Place hands closer than 6 inches from the saw blade. DONT - Reach behind or underneath the saw unless it is turned off and unplugged. DONT - Move either hand from saw or workpiece or raise the saw arm until the blade has

stopped.CAUTION: Do not connect unit to electrical power source until complete instructions are

read and understood.CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions

and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or otherreproductive 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 (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. Toreduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work withapproved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter outmicroscopic particles. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areaswith soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin maypromote absorption of harmful chemicals.

StabilizerYour saw includes one base stabilizer. This must be installedbefore using your saw. Insert the stabilizer into the holes inthe back of the unit, as shown in figure 5. Move the stabilizerin or out until it contacts the work surface. Then tighten thescrews in the base to fasten the stabilizer.Bench MountingHoles are provided to facilitate bench mounting, as shown infigure 4. (Two different sized holes are provided toaccommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole, it isnot necessary to use both.) Always mount your saw firmly toprevent movement. To enhance the tools portability, it can bemounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7mm) or thicker plywood whichcan then be clamped to your work support or moved to otherjob sites and reclamped. NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood,make sure that the mounting screws dont protrude from thebottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the worksupport. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamponly on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holesare located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with theproper operation of the saw.

CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be surethe mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven. Ifthe saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece of materialunder one saw foot so that the saw sits firmly on the mountingsurface.Transporting the Saw

Use the lock down pin shown in figure 4 when carrying thesaw from one place to another. The lock down pin is not tobe used for any cutting operation, and is for carrying andstorage only. When transporting the saw, always lock thehead in the down position, miter the saw fully to the right(60 miter), lock the miter adjustment/lock handle, lock therail lock knob with the head fully forward, slide the fencescompletely inward, and lock the bevel adjustment/lockhandle with the saw at a 0 bevel. Always use the carryinghand holds in the base to transport the saw. Carry the sawas shown in figure 1A.Adjustments

CAUTION: Disconnect the saw from the power supplybefore moving it or making any adjustments.NOTE: Your sliding compound miter saw is fully and accu-rately adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture. Ifreadjustment due to shipping and handling or any otherreason is required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw.Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate.MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENTPlace a square against the saws base, fence and blade, asshown in figure 6. Do not touch the tips of the blade teethwith the square because this will cause an inaccuratemeasurement. Lift the miter clamp handle and swing the miterarm until the miter latch locks it at the 0 miter position. Checkthat the saw blade is exactly perpendicular (square) to thefence. You will know the blade is perpendicular to the fencewhen no gap is visible between the blade and the square orthe fence and the square. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence,loosen the four screws that hold the miter scale to the baseshown in figure 7 and move the scale/miter arm assemblyleft or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, asmeasured with the square. Retighten the four screws. Payno attention to the reading of the miter pointer at this time.

MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENTLift the miter adjustment/lock handle and move the miter armto the zero position, as shown in figure 8. With the miteradjustment/lock handle loose allow the miter latch to snap intoplace as you rotate the miter arm to zero. Observe the pointerand miter scale. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero,loosen the screw that holds the pointer in place and gentlymove the pointer left or right. Retighten the screw after settingthe pointer to zero.MITER LOCK/DETENT ROD ADJUSTMENTThe miter lock/detent rod should be adjusted if the table of thesaw can be moved when the miter adjustment/lock handle islocked down.To adjust the miter lock/detent rod, put the miter adjust-ment/lock handle in the up, unlocked position. Using a slottedscrewdriver, tighten the lock rod by turning it clockwise asshown in figure 9. Turn the lock rod until it is tight, then turncounterclockwise 1/4 turn.

Adjust so that the kerf plate is as close to the blade aspossible without interferring with the blades movement. RAIL GUIDE ADJUSTMENTPeriodically check the rails for any play or clearance. The toprail can be adjusted with the two right set screws shown infigure 14. To reduce clearance, use a 4 mm hex wrench androtate the set screws clockwise gradually while sliding thesaw head back and forth. Reduce play while maintainingminimum sliding force. Guard Actuation and VisibilityThe blade guard on your saw has been designed toautomatically raise when the arm is brought down and tolower over the blade when the arm is raised.The guard can be raised by hand when installing orremoving saw blades or for inspection of the saw. NEVERRAISE THE BLADE GUARD MANUALLY UNLESS THESAW IS TURNED OFF.NOTE: Certain special cuts will require that you manuallyraise the guard. See the heading Cutting Large Material onpage 12.The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility whilecutting. Although the louvers dramatically reduce flyingdebris, they are openings in the guard and safety glassesshould be worn at all times when viewing through the louvers.

CAUTION: Unplug the saw before cleaning.If the guard becomes dirty, clean with a dry cloth or a water-dampened cloth.

CAUTION: Do not use lubricants or cleaners, particularlyspray or aerosal cleaners, in the vicinity of the plastic guard.The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject todeterioration by certain chemicals. Automatic Electric BrakeYour saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brakewhich stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of trigger release.This is not adjustable.On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release tobrake engagement. On rare occasions, the brake may notengage at all and the blade will coast to a stop.If a delay or skipping occurs, turn the saw on and off 4 or 5times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by anauthorized DEWALT service center.Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it fromthe kerf. The brake is not a substitute for guards. Ensureyour own safety by giving the saw your complete attention. Brushes

CAUTION: Disconnect the saw from the power supplybefore moving it or making any adjustments.Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool,removing the motor end cap shown in figure 3 and with-drawing the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and

sliding freely in their guides. Always insert a replacementbrush in the same orientation in the holder as the usedbrush was prior to its removal. Carbon brushes have varyingsymbols stamped into their sides, and if the brush is worndown to the line closest to the spring, brushes must bereplaced. Use only identical DEWALT brushes. Use of thecorrect grade of brush is essential for proper operation ofelectric brake. New brush assemblies are available atDEWALT service centers. The tool should be allowed torun in (run at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seatnew brushes. The electric brake may be erratic in operationuntil the brushes are properly seated (worn in).

CAUTION: While running in DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OROTHERWISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLDBY HAND ONLY.OPERATIONPlug the saw into 60 Hz power source. Be sure the cord willnot interfere with your work.SwitchTo turn the saw on, depress the trigger switch shown infigure 15. To turn the tool off, release the switch. There is noprovision for locking the switch on, but a hole is provided inthe trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the saw off.Cutting with Your SawNOTE: Although this saw will cut wood and many non-ferrousmaterials, we will limit our discussion to the cutting of woodonly. The same guidelines apply to the other materials. DONOT CUT FERROUS (IRON AND STEEL) MATERIALS,MASONRY, OR FIBER CEMENT PRODUCTS WITH THISSAW. Do not use any abrasive blades.

CrosscutsA crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at anyangle. A straight crosscut is made with the miter arm at thezero degree position. Set and lock the miter arm at zero, holdthe wood firmly on the table and against the fence. With therail lock knob tightened, turn on the saw by squeezing thetrigger switch shown in Figure 15.When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower thearm smoothly and slowly to cut through the wood. Let theblade come to a full stop before raising arm. When cutting anything larger than a 2x4, use an out-down-back motion with the rail lock knob loosened. Pull the saw out,toward you, lower the saw head down toward the workpiece,and push the saw back to complete the cut. Do not allow thesaw to contact the top of the workpiece while pulling out. Thesaw may run toward you, causing personal injury or damageto the workpiece.NOTE: The rail lock knob shown in figure 4 must be loose toallow the saw to slide along its rails.Miter crosscuts are made with the miter arm at some angleother than zero. This angle is often 45 for making corners,but can be set anywhere from 50 left to 60 right. Afterselecting the desired miter angle, be sure to lock down themiter adjustment/lock handle. Make the cut as describedabove.NOTE: Cutting of multiple pieces is not recommended, butcan be done safely by ensuring that each piece is held firmlyagainst the table and fence.BEVEL CUTSA bevel cut is a crosscut made with the saw blade at a bevelto the wood. In order to set the bevel, unlock the beveladjustment/lock handle and move the saw to the left or rightas desired. Once the desired bevel angle has been set, lockthe bevel adjustment/lock handle firmly.

Bevel angles can be set from 48 left to 48 right and can becut with the miter arm set between 50 left and 60 right.Ensure the fence has been adjusted properly. When per-forming right bevel cuts, or right miter compound cuts, it maybe necessary to remove the right adjustable fence.Quality of CutThe smoothness of any cut depends on a number ofvariables. Things like material being cut, blade type, bladesharpness and rate of cut all contribute to the quality of thecut.When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and otherprecision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slow,even cutting rate will produce the desired results.To ensure that material does not creep while cutting, clamp itsecurely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stopbefore raising the arm. If small fibers of wood still split out atthe rear of the workpiece, apply a piece of masking tape onthe wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tapeand carefully remove tape when finished.For varied cutting applications, refer to the list of re-commended saw blades for your saw and select the one thatbest fits your needs.Body and Hand Position (Figure 16)Proper positioning of your body and hands when operatingthe sliding compound miter saw will make cutting easier,more accurate and safer. Never place hands near cuttingarea. Place hands no closer than 6" (152mm) from the blade.Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence whencutting. Keep hands in position until the trigger has beenreleased and the blade has completely stopped. ALWAYSMAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTSSO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE.DO NOT CROSS HANDS.Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain properbalance. As you move the miter arm left and right, follow itand stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. Sight throughthe guard louvers when following a pencil line.Clamping the Workpiece

CAUTION: Disconnect the saw from the power supplybefore moving it or making any adjustments.If you cannot secure the workpiece on the table and againstthe fence by hand, for instance, when cutting an irregularlyshaped piece, or when your hand would be less than 6from the blade, a clamp or other fixture should be used.For best results use the DW7082 clamp made for use withyour saw. It is available through your local retailer orDEWALT service center at extra cost.Other aids such as spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clampsmay be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes ofmaterial. Use care in selecting and placing these clamps.Take time to make a dry run before making the cut. Thefences will slide from side to side to aid in clamping.

The attachment is available forpurchase from your dealer. Support long workpieces usingany convenient means such as sawhorses or similar devicesto keep the ends from dropping. The base top is 3.5" tall,allowing a 4x4 or 2 2x4s to be used on a long table or bench.

Precision CuttingCUTTING PICTURE FRAMES, SHADOW BOXES ANDOTHER FOUR SIDED PROJECTSTo best understand how to make the items listed here, wesuggest that you try a few simple projects using scrap wooduntil you develop a feel for your saw.Your saw is the perfect tool for mitering corners like the oneshown in figure 17. Sketch A in figure 17 shows a joint madeby using the bevel adjustment to bevel the edges of the twoboards at 45 each to produce a 90 corner. For this joint the

miter arm was locked in the zero position and the beveladjustment was locked at 45. The wood was positioned withthe broad flat side against the table and the narrow edgeagainst the fence. Alternatively, the cut could also be made bymitering right and left with the broad surface against the fenceand the narrow edge against the table.

CUTTING TRIM MOLDING AND OTHER FRAMESSketch B shows a joint made by setting the miter adjustmentat 45. The wood is positioned with the broad flat side on thetable and the narrow edge against the fence. Mitering theboards forms a 90 corner.The two sketches in figure 17 are for four sided objects only. As the number of sides changes, so do the miter and bevelangles. The following chart gives the proper angles for avariety of shapes.(The chart assumes that all sides are of equal length.) For ashape that is not shown in the chart, use the followingformula: 180 divided by the number of sides equals themiter or bevel angle.

DUAL RANGE MITER SCALEThe 0 scale (larger numbers closest to the front edge of themiter guide) is designed for use when considering exteriorangles like those labeled angle a in figure 19. Setting themiter angle to these exterior angles yields the correct miterangle for the frames shown in figure 19. The 90 scale is usedwhen considering interior angles like those labeled angle b infigure 19. To use the 90 scale to make a frame like thosepictured in figure 19, divide the measured angle b by 2. VERNIER SCALEYour saw is equipped with a vernier scale for added precision.The vernier scale allows you to accurately set miter angles tothe nearest 1/4 degree. To use the vernier scale follow thesesteps.

CAUTION: Disconnect the saw from the power supplybefore moving it or making any adjustments.

2. To set the the saw to miter an additional 1/4, move the firstmark to the right or left of center on the vernier scale until italigns with the closest degree mark on the miter scale. Toset the saw to miter 24-1/4 right, move the first mark to theright of center on the vernier scale so that it aligns with theclosest degree mark on the miter scale: 25. Figure 21shows a setting of 24-1/4 right miter.

3. To set the saw to miter an additional 1/2 , align the secondmark to the right or left of center on the vernier scale(marked 1/2) with the nearest whole degree mark on themiter scale. For example, to miter 24-1/2 to the right, movethe second mark to the right of the center to the right untilthe 1/2 vernier mark aligns with the closest degree markon the miter scale.

4. To set the saw to an additional 3/4, align the third mark tothe right or left of center on the vernier scale with thenearest whole degree number. For example, to miter 24-3/4 to the right, move the third mark to the right of centeron the vernier scale to the right until it aligns with theclosest degree mark on the miter scale.

Save the right side of the cut.Material up to 4-1/4" (108mm) can be cut as described above.For wider boards [up to 5.25" (133mm)] the procedure isdifferent in two ways. First, you must raise the guard to beginthe cut. Second, you must position the workpiece so that itdoes not interfere with the gearcase.When cutting a board between 4-1/4" (108mm) and 5-1/4"(133mm) in width the roller on the tip of the guard will hang upon the workpiece. To avoid this, raise the guard to begin thecut. To raise the guard, follow these directions. Use one hand to roll the guard up out of the way as shown infigure 24. Trap the guard with the index finger of the handoperating the trigger. Use the other hand to hold theworkpiece at a safe distance from the blade. Avoid doing thisas much as possible. However, the saw will operate properlyand make the deeper cut with the guard rolled up. NEVERTIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPENWHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.When mitering to the right side of a base molding wider than4-1/4" (108mm) standing vertically against the fence as inFigure 24, the saw can only cut through the board up to 1 inchfrom the end of the board. Trying to cut more than an inchwill cause the saws gear case to interfere with the workpiece.If you want to cut base molding between 4-1/4" (108mm) and5-1/4" (133mm) wide vertically, avoid the interference of thegear case by following the directions below.Cutting 4-1/4" 5-1/4" (108mm-133mm) Base MoldingVertically Against the FencePosition molding with the back against the fence. Either thetop or the bottom of the molding will be against the base of thesaw.NOTE: If the cut must be made somewhere other than 1"(25.4mm) from the right end of the molding as you look at the

A third method of cutting wide boards (figure 25) is to make a0 miter, 45 bevel cut. Your saw can cut a bevel in a board12" (305mm) wide.Cutting Base Molding Laying Flat and Using the BevelFeaturePosition the back of molding laying flat on the saw and thebottom of the molding against the fence, as shown in figure25. make all cuts with the saw set at 45 bevel and 0 miter.TO CUT AN INSIDE CORNER:Cut the Left side:1.

Save the left side of the cut.CUTTING MOLDING RETURNSA return is cut to finish the end of achair rail or base molding as shown infigure 26. This piece is a form ofoutside miter cut in which one piece isvery short. To make this cut, place apiece of molding with a square cut endinto the saw. Set the miter angle to 45left. Slowly pull the blade through themolding, stopping before the piece iscut through. Before stopping the motor,lift the sawhead up slightly and then release the trigger. Thiswill leave the return still connected to the molding by a smallpiece of wood. Remove the wood from the saw and breakthe return from the molding. This procedure preventschipping of the small piece of molding.CUTTING CROWN MOLDINGCrown molding must be cut with extreme accuracy to fitproperly. On crown molding (figure 27) , the two flat surfacesdesigned to fit against the ceiling and the wall are milled incomplementary angles to the front of the molding. Comple-mentary angles, when added together, equal exactly 90. Inmost crown molding, the surface that fits flat against theceiling and the back of the molding form an angle of 52.The bottom surface that fits flat against the wall and theback of the molding form an angle of 38. Your sliding compound miter saw has special pre-set miterlatch points at 31.6 degrees left and right for cutting crownmolding flat at the proper angle. There is also a mark on thebevel scale at 33.9 degrees.

and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. Fromthat point, follow the vertical line that intersects the arc at thatpoint straight down to find the correct bevel angle. Then followthe horizontal line that intersects the arc straight across to findthe correct miter angle. NOTE: Reference points marked on the arcs are at intervalsof 5. The distance between each reference mark is not equal,and the arc is not part of a circle. Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trialcuts. Practice fitting the cut pieces together until you develop afeel for this procedure and feel comfortable with it.EXAMPLE: To make a 4-sided box with 55 exterior angles(angle A, figure 29), use the upper right arc. Find 55 on thearc scale. Follow the vertical intersecting line to the top orbottom of the graph to get the bevel angle setting on the saw(35.4). Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side toget miter angle setting on saw (29.8). Always try the cuts onscrap pieces of wood to verify settings on saw.NOTE: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check thatthe bevel adjustment/lock handle and the miter adjust-ment/lock handle are securely tightened. These handles mustbe tightened and locked after making any changes in bevel ormiter.

Special CutsCAUTION: Never make any cuts unless the material is

secured against the table and fence. Certain workpieces, dueto their size, shape or surface finish, may require the use of aclamp or fixture to prevent movement during the cut.ALUMINUM CUTTINGPosition the material so that you will be cutting the thinnestcross section, as shown in Figure 30. Figure 31 illustratesthe wrong way to cut these extrusions. Use a wax lubricantwhen cutting aluminum such as Johnsons Stick Wax No.140. Apply the stick wax directly to the saw blade beforecutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade.The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrialmill supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keepschips from adhering to the blade.Be sure to properly secure workpiece. Refer to page 6 forcorrect saw blade.BOWED MATERIALWhen cutting bowed material always position the workpiece as shown in figure 32 and never like that shown in figure 33.Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch theblade near the completion of the cut.

The inset box on page 14 gives the proper settings for cuttingcrown molding. (The angles for the miter and bevel settingsare very precise and are not easy to accurately set on yoursaw.) Since most rooms do not have angles of precisely 90degrees, you will have to fine tune your settings anyway.NOTE: Pretesting with scrap materials is extremely important.CUTTING CROWN MOLDING ANGLED BETWEEN THEFENCE AND TABLE (NESTED)Use of the crown molding fence accessory (DW7084) ishighly recommended because of its accuracy and conven-ience. The crown molding fence accessory is available forpurchase from your local dealer.The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method isthat no bevel cut is required. Minute changes in the miterangle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. Thisway, when corners other than 90 are encountered, the sawcan be quickly and easily adjusted for them. Use the crownmolding fence accessory to maintain the angle at which themolding will be on the wall. To use the accessory, place themolding on the table at an angle between the fence and thesaw table, as shown in figure 28.Instructions for Cutting Crown Molding Angled betweenthe Fence and Base of the Saw1. Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (part which

goes against the wall when installed) is against the fenceand the top of the molding is resting on the base of thesaw, as shown in figure 28.

2. The angled flats on the back of the molding must restsquarely on the fence and base of the saw.

CUTTING COMPOUND MITERSA compound miter is a cut made using a miter angle and abevel angle at the same time. This is the type of cut used tomake frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shownin figure 29.The graph shown on page 13 will assist you in selecting theproper bevel and miter settings for compound miter cuts likethe ones necessary to make the boxes pictured in figure 29.To use the graph, select the desired angle A of your project

NEVER TIE, TAPE,OR OTHERWISE HOLDTHE GUARD OPEN WHENOPERATING THIS SAW.GROOVINGYour sliding compoundmiter saw is equipped with a grooving lever andthumbscrew and wingnut toallow for groove cutting.To use the grooving feature,flip the grooving lever toward the front of the saw, as shown infigure 35. In order to cut a groove of constant depth, place ablock of wood at least 2 wide against the fence. Otherwise,the groove will be less deep near the fence.Loosen the wingnut and adjust the thumbscrew to change thedepth of the groove cut. To lock the thumbscrew in position,retighten the wingnut. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS(UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOUCAN CHECK THE DEPTH OF THE BLADE. NOTE: Your saw is not designed for use with dado blades.Installing a New Saw Blade

CAUTION: Disconnect the saw from the power supplybefore making any adjustments. Before installing or removinga blade, always lock the miter adjustment/lock handle, lockthe rail lock knob, and lock the bevel adjustment/lock handle.Never depress the spindle lock button while the blade isrotating.

CAUTION: Do not cut any ferrous metal (that with anyiron or steel content), masonry, or any fiber cement pro-ducts with this saw.REMOVING THE BLADE1. Loosen but do not remove the arbor cover screw and pivot

the arbor cover up as shown in figure 36.

Importantes consignes de scurit concernant tousles outils

AVERTISSEMENT : afin de travailler en toute scurit et dviter les risques de blessure oudendommager srieusement loutil, lire attentivement le guide dutilisation avant dutiliser la scie onglets combine chariot. Lors de lentretien de loutil, nutiliser que des pices de rechangeidentiques. On doit faire remplacer les cordons endommags, y compris les rallonges, dans uncentre de service autoris.DOUBLE ISOLATIONAfin de protger lutilisateur contre les chocs lectriques, les outils double isolation sontcompltement recouverts de deux couches distinctes disolant lectrique ou dune doublepaisseur de matire isolante. Les outils possdant ce type disolation ne sont pasdestins tre mis la terre et, par consquent, sont munis dune fiche deux brochespermettant dutiliser une rallonge ne ncessitant aucune prise de masse. REMARQUE : le fait que cet outil soit muni dune double isolation ne signifie pas quelutilisateur doit cesser de suivre les consignes de scurit qui simposent; lisolation offreune protection supplmentaire contre les blessures causes par un choc lectrique lorsqueles systmes disolation internes font dfaut.

AVERTISSEMENT : NUTILISER QUE DES PICES DE RECHANGE IDENTIQUES.Rparer ou remplacer les cordons endommags.FICHES POLARISESAfin de rduire les risques de choc lectrique, cet outil est muni dune fiche polarise(cest--dire que lune des lames est plus large que lautre), et ne peut tre raccord quune rallonge polarise et ce, dans un seul sens. On doit linverser si on est incapable delenfoncer compltement. Si la fiche ne sadapte toujours pas, on doit demander unlectricien qualifi dinstaller la prise approprie. On ne doit jamais modifier la fiche.

AVERTISSEMENT : lorsquon utilise un outil lectrique, on doit toujours suivre les consignesde scurit, y compris celles dcrites ci-dessous, afin de rduire les risques dincendie, de choclectrique et de blessure. GARDER LES DISPOSITIFS DE PROTECTION EN PLACE et en bon tat de fonctionnement. RETIRER LES CLS DE RGLAGE; prendre lhabitude de sassurer que les cls de rglage

sont retires de loutil avant de le dmarrer. GARDER LA ZONE DE TRAVAIL PROPRE; les espaces de travail et les tablis encombrs

sont propices aux accidents. UTILISER LOUTIL DANS DES ENDROITS APPROPRIS; ne pas exposer loutil la pluie ou

la neige, ni lutiliser dans des endroits humides ou mouills. Garder la zone de travail bienclaire.

TENIR LES ENFANTS LCART; sassurer que personne ne sapproche de la zone detravail.

SASSURER QUE LATELIER EST SR POUR LES ENFANTS; utiliser des cadenas, desinterrupteurs centraux ou enlever les commandes de dmarrage.

NE PAS FORCER LOUTIL; pour obtenir de meilleurs rsultats et prvenir les risques deblessure, laisser loutil couper la vitesse pour laquelle il a t conu.

UTILISER LOUTIL APPROPRI; ne pas forcer loutil ou laccessoire, ni lutiliser pour destravaux autres que ceux pour lesquels il a t conu.

UTILISER LES RALLONGES APPROPRIES; sassurer que la rallonge lectrique est en bontat et quelle est en mesure de porter le courant ncessaire loutil. Une rallonge de calibreinfrieur entranera une chute de tension se traduisant par une perte de puissance et unesurchauffe. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les calibres que lon doit utiliser selon la longueur dela rallonge et lintensit nominale indique sur la plaque signaltique. En cas de doute, utiliserle calibre suivant. Plus le calibre est petit, plus la rallonge peut porter de courant.

PORTER DES VTEMENTS APPROPRIS; ne pas porter de vtements amples ni de gants,de cravate, de bague, de bracelet ou dautres bijoux, car ceux-ci peuvent rester coincs dansles pices mobiles. On recommande le port de chaussures antidrapantes. Couvrir ou attacherles cheveux longs. Se tenir loign des vents puisque ces derniers pourraient camoufler despices mobiles.

TOUJOURS PORTER DES LUNETTES DE SCURIT; porter aussi un masque facial ou unmasque anti-poussires lorsquon soulve de la poussire. Les lunettes ordinaires protgentuniquement les yeux contre les chocs et ne sont pas des lunettes de protection.

IMMOBILISER LA PICE; la retenir au moyen dun tau ou de butes fixes sil savreimpossible de la fixer manuellement sur le plateau et contre le guide, ou si les mains risquentde sapprocher de moins de 15 cm (6 po) de la lame.

NE PAS TROP TENDRE LES BRAS; les pieds doivent rester ancrs fermement au sol afinde maintenir son quilibre en tout temps.

BIEN ENTRETENIR LOUTIL; afin dobtenir de meilleurs rsultats et faire preuve de prudence,garder loutil propre et bien aiguis. Suivre les consignes lorsquon lubrifie ou quon remplaceles accessoires.

DBRANCHER LOUTIL avant de procder lentretien ou de remplacer des accessoirescomme les lames, les ferrures, les rallonges, etc.

RDUIRE LES RISQUES DE DMARRAGE ACCIDENTEL; sassurer que linterrupteur esten position darrt avant de brancher loutil.

UTILISER LES ACCESSOIRES RECOMMANDS; consulter le guide dutilisation pour savoirquels accessoires sont appropris. Lutilisation daccessoires autres que ceux recommandspourrait entraner des blessures.

NE JAMAIS METTRE LES PIEDS SUR LOUTIL; si loutil se renverse ou est accidentellementmis en marche, il pourrait entraner des blessures graves.

VRIFIER LES PICES ENDOMMAGES; avant de poursuivre les travaux, on doit examinerattentivement les dispositifs de protection, ou toute autre pice endommage, afin desassurer quils fonctionnent toujours adquatement et quils sont en mesure deffectuer lestravaux pour lesquels ils ont t conus. Vrifier les pices mobiles afin de sassurer quellessont bien alignes et quelles ne restent pas coinces; vrifier galement les pices et lesassemblages afin de sassurer quil ny a aucun bris ni aucune autre condition susceptible denuire au bon fonctionnement de loutil. On doit faire rparer ou remplacer toute piceendommage, y compris les dispositifs de protection.

NE JAMAIS LAISSER LOUTIL FONCTIONNER SANS SURVEILLANCE; COUPERLALIMENTATION LECTRIQUE et attendre que loutil simmobilise compltement avant dequitter les lieux.

PICES DE RECHANGE. Pendant lentretien, nutiliser que des pices de rechangeidentiques.

Consignes de scurit additionnelles concernant lesscies onglets combins chariot Toujours utiliser le matriel de scurit appropri et porter des lunettes de protection. Utiliser

un masque anti-poussires, des chaussures antidrapantes, un casque de scurit et desprotecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert.

Garder les mains loignes du trajet de la lame. ON NE DOIT PAS COUPER DES PICES DEPETITE DIMENSION; ON DOIT TOUJOURS POUVOIR GARDER LES MAINS AU MOINS152 mm (6 po) DE LA LAME

MISE EN GARDE : porter un dispositif de protection personnel anti-bruit appropridurant lutilisation. Sous certaines conditions et pendant toute la dure de lutilisation, lebruit manant de ce produit pourrait contribuer la perte daudition.

AVERTISSEMENT : certains outils lectriques, tels que les sableuses, les scies, lesmeules, les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuvent produire de lapoussire contenant des produits chimiques susceptibles dentraner le cancer, desmalformations congnitales ou pouvant tre nocifs pour le systme reproductif. Parmi cesproduits chimiques, on retrouve :

le plomb dans les peintures base de plomb, la silice cristalline dans les briques et le ciment et autres produits de maonnerie, larsenic et le chrome dans le bois de sciage ayant subi un traitement chimique

(comme larsniate de cuivre et de chrome). Le risque associ de telles expositions varie selon la frquence avec laquelle on effectueces travaux. Pour rduire lexposition de tels produits, il faut travailler dans un endroitbien ar et utiliser le matriel de scurit appropri, tel un masque anti-poussiresspcialement conu pour filtrer les particules microscopiques. viter tout contact prolong avec la poussire souleve par cet outil ou autres outils

lectriques. porter des vtements de protection et nettoyer les parties exposes ducorps avec de leau savonneuse. Sassurer de bien se protger afin dviter dabsorber parla bouche, les yeux ou la peau des produits chimiques nocifs.
