8. Switch on the machine.
9. Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the front of the upper blade
guard, keeping it firmly pressed against the rip fence.
10. Remember to always use the push stick (58) (fig. N).
11. After completing the cut, switch off the machine.

Quality of Cut

The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g. the
material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and other
precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting
rate will produce the desired results.
WARNING: Ensure that the material does not creep while
cutting; clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade come to
a full stop before raising the arm. If small fibres of wood still split
out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape
on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape
and carefully remove tape when finished.
MAINTENANCE
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period
E
of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-
ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
Lubrication
This machine requires no additional lubrication. The bearings of the motor
are pre-lubricated and watertight.
• Avoid using oil or grease as this can cause clogging with sawdust and
chips and create problems.
• Clean the parts subject to accumulation of sawdust and chips
periodically with a dry brush.
Cleaning
Before use, carefully check the upper blade guard, movable lower blade
guard as well as the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate
properly. Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particle cannot lead to
blockage of one of the functions.
In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw blade and guards
disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow the instructions
given in section Mounting the Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and
reassembling the saw blade.
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry
air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents.
Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask 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 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean the
table top.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean the
dust collection system

DUST EXTRACTION
A separate dust kit is available for optimal dust extraction (DE7779).
CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE (FIG. R)
WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure
before a cut may become unbalanced after a cut is completed.
An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the saw is
attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut
that may become unbalanced, properly support the workpiece
and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable surface. Personal
injury may occur.
WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the
base of the saw whenever the clamp is used. Always clamp the
workpiece to the base of the saw – not to any other part of the
work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of
the base of the saw.
CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and
reduce the risk of workpiece damage and personal injury.
Use the material clamp (23) provided with your saw. Other aids such as
spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes
and shapes of material.
TO INSTALL CLAMP
1. Insert it into the hole behind the fence. The clamp should be facing
toward the back of the mitre saw. Ensure the groove on the clamp rod
is fully inserted into the base of the mitre saw. If the groove is visible,
the clamp will not be secure.
2. Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the mitre saw.
3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use the fine
adjust knob to firmly clamp the workpiece.
NOTE: Place the clamp on the right side of the base when beveling.
ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO
CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE CLAMP DOES NOT
INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.
SAWING SHORT WORKPIECES (FIG. A3, A4)
It is advisable to use the length stop for short workpieces (29) both for batch
sawing and for short individual workpieces of different lengths. The length
stop can only be used in conjunction with a pair of optional guide rails (28).
SAWING LONG WORKPIECES (FIG. A3)
WARNING: Always support long workpieces.
Figure A3 shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when
the saw is used free-standing (all items available as an option). These items
(except the legstand and the material clamp) are required both on the infeed
and the outfeed side:
22 Material support plates.
23 Material clamp.
24 Swivelling stop.
25 Stands to support the guide rails. The height of the stands is adjustable.
WARNING: Do not use the stands to support the machine!
26 Legstand (supplied with mounting instructions).
27 Table end plate for support the rails; also when working on an existing
bench.
28 Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm).
Procedure
1. Place your saw on the legstand and fit the guide rails.
2. Firmly screw the material support plates (22) to the guide rails (28). The
material clamp (23) now functions as a length stop.
3. Install the table end plates (27).
4. Install the swivelling stop (24) to the rear rail.
