Worn blades may also have insufficient body clearance which increases the chance of binding and increased loading. 6. LIFTING THE SAW WHEN MAKING BEVEL CUTS Bevel cuts require special operator attention to proper cutting techniques - especially guidance of the saw. Both blade angle to the shoe and greater blade surface in the material increase the chance for binding and misalignment (twist) to occur. 7. RESTARTING A CUT WITH THE BLADE TEETH JAMMED AGAINST THE MATERIAL The saw should be brought up to full operating speed before starting a cut or restarting a cut after the unit has been stopped with the blade in the kerf. Failure to do so can cause stalling and kickback. Any other conditions which could result in pinching, binding, twisting, or misalignment of the blade could cause kickback. Refer to the sections on “Adjustments And Set-Up” and “Operation” for procedures and techniques that will minimize the occurrence of kickback. MAINTENANCE Cleaning Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage plastic. Do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool in a liquid. Lubrication Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in the tool and relubrication is not required. However, it is recommended that, once a year, you take or send the tool to a service center for a thorough cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear case. Electric Brake (DW369 Only) Your saw has an automatic electric brake which is designed to stop the blade from coasting in about two seconds, after you release the trigger switch. It is useful when making certain cuts in wood where a coasting blade would result in a wide, imprecise cut. Occasionally, the brake will not function properly and won’t stop the saw in the 2 seconds discussed above. If this condition persists, turn the saw on and off four or five times. If the brake still does not stop the blade in about 2 seconds, the problem may be worn brushes. Replace the brushes as described below and try the saw again. If the problem still persists, have the tool serviced at a DEWALT certified service center. Repairs To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts. (See the section titled “Brushes” for brush replacement information.) Brushes CAUTION: ALWAYS TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT TOOL BEFORE CHANGING ACCESSORIES OR MAKING ANYADJUSTMENTS. Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the end cap and withdrawing the 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 removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped into their sides, and if either brush is worn down to the line closest to the spring, the brushes must be replaced. Use only identical DEWALT brushes. New brush assemblies are available at your local service center. Always replace the end cap after inspecting or servicing brushes. The tool should be allowed to “run in” (run at no load without a blade) for 5 minutes before use to seat new brushes. While “running in” DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY. Shoe Adjustment CAUTION: ALWAYS TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT TOOL BEFORE CHANGING ACCESSORIES OR MAKING ANYADJUSTMENTS. Your shoe has been factory set to assure that the blade is perpendicular to the shoe. If after extended use, you need to re-align the blade follow the directions below: ADJUSTING FOR 90 DEGREE CUTS 1. Return the saw to 0 degrees bevel. 2. Place the saw on its side, and retract the lower guard. 3. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (L). Place a square against the blade and the shoe as shown in figure 14. 4. Using a hex wrench, turn the set screw on the underside of the shoe until the blade and the shoe are both in flush contact with the square. Retighten the bevel adjustment lever. ADJUSTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT AND BEVEL ADJUSTMENT LEVERS (FIGURE 15) It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever or the bevel adjustment lever. They may loosen in time and hit the shoe before tightening. To tighten the levers, follow the steps below. ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER 1. Using a small screwdriver, pry the lock ring off. 2. Remove the lever and rotate it in the desired direction about 1/8 of a revolution. 3. Reinstall the lock ring with the concave side against the lever. ADJUSTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT LEVER - (DW369 ONLY) 1. Loosen the screw securing the depth adjustment lever. 2. Remove the depth adjustment lever and rotate it to the desired location, about 1/8 of a revolution. 3. Tighten the lever screw.
