MAINTENANCE
Your D WALT power tool has been designed to operate
e
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source
before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the
OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
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.
Cleaning

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.
Lower Guard
The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from
a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct
operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and letting
it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely it will need
cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it functions
correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft brush to
remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the path of
the guard and from around the guard spring. Should this not

correct the problem, it will need to be serviced by an authorized
service center.

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.
Blades
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the
saw motor, excessive splintering and increase the possibility
of kickback. Change blades when it is no longer easy to push
the saw through the cut, when the motor is straining, or when
excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is a good practice to
keep extra blades on hand so that sharp blades are available for
immediate use. Dull blades can be sharpened in most areas.
Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene,
turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades can be
used in applications where excessive build-up is encountered,
such as pressure treated and green lumber.

Reducing Dust Exposure
Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will
be produced when working.

WARNING: Avoid touching or breathing dust as it can be
harmful to health. Dust created when using a power tool and
when conducting other construction activities can contain
chemicals, minerals, or particles known to cause respiratory
infections, allergic reactions, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm of the user or bystanders.
• Such dust can be generated, for example, when working on
hardwoods such as beech or oak, lead-based paint, concrete,
masonry, or stones containing quartz.
• Material containing asbestos may be handled only by specialists.
• Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked on.
• Use a dust extractor or extraction system with an officially
approved protection class in compliance with the locally
applicable dust protection regulations and suitable for the
material to be worked on.
• Capture the resulting dust particles directly at the source and
avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable extraction
accessories for this purpose.
additional measures:
ʵ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated.
ʵ Wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated.
