for All Saws and Blades for procedures and techniques that
will minimize the occurrence of kickback.
Depth of Cut Adjustment (Fig. G, H)
Maximum depth of cut is 2‑9/16" (64 mm)
1. Raise the depth adjustment lever
2. To obtain the correct depth of cut, align the appropriate
mark on the depth adjustment strap
on the upper blade guard.
3. Tighten the depth adjustment lever.
4. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide
tipped saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that
about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of
the wood to be cut.
5. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth
is shown in Figure H. Lay a piece of the material you
plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown in the
figure, and observe how much tooth projects beyond
the material.
Adjusting Depth Adjustment
Lever (Fig. G)
It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever
may loosen in time and hit the shoe before tighten ing.
To Tighten the lever:
1. Hold depth adjustment lever
2. Adjust the depth adjustment lever by rotating it in the
desired direction about 1/8 of a revolution.
3. Retighten screw.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. A, I)
The bevel angle adjustment mechanism can be adjusted
between 0° and 57°.
To achieve better accuracy in cutting, use the fine
adjustment markings located on the pivot bracket
1. Raise the bevel adjustment lever
2. Tilt the shoe to the desired angle by aligning the fine
23
bevel pointer
with the desired angle mark on the
22
pivot bracket
.
3. Lower the bevel adjustment lever to retighten.
Bevel Detent (Fig. A, I)
The DCS590 is equipped with a bevel detent feature. As you
5
tilt the shoe
you will hear a click and feel the shoe stop
at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of these is the desired
angle, retighten the lever
another angle, continue tilting the shoe until the coarse
24
bevel pointer
or the fine pointer
desired mark.
Cut Length Indicator (Fig. A)
The markings on the side of the shoe
the slot being cut into the material at the full depth of the
cut. The markings are in increments of 1/8" (3 mm).
Kerf Indicator (Fig. K)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the

the saw blade, which makes the slot or "kerf" cut by the
moving blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide along
the penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste
or surplus material.

5. Insert screws and tighten securely.
Prior to Operation
•
Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly. The
saw blade guard must be in closed position.
