Bevel Square to Table (Fig. I, J)
To align the blade square to the rotary table, lock the arm in the down position. Place a square
against the blade taking care to not have the square on top of a tooth. Loosen the bevel lock

so that you can move the bevel arm. Move the bevel arm as necessary so that the blade

is at 0° bevel to the table. If the bevel arm needs adjustment, locate the right side bevel stop as
shown in Figure J, and adjust the stop screw

To bevel UP TO 48° left, the sliding fence can be adjusted to the left to provide clearance. To
adjust the sliding fence, loosen the fence lock knob
dry run with the saw turned off and check for clearance. Adjust the sliding fence to be as close
to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, without interfering with arm
up and down movement. Tighten the fence lock knob securely. When the bevel operations are
complete, don't forget to relocate the sliding fence to the right.

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 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, there are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be
worn at all times.

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 D
WALT service center.
e
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerf plate. The brake is not a
substitute for guards or for ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your complete attention.
Controls
Your compound miter saw has several main controls, which will be discussed briefly here. For
