in place, and gently move the pointer left or right. Retighten
the screw after setting the pointer to 0°.
Adjusting the bevel stop to 45° left or right
NOTE: Adjust the 45° bevel angles only after performing the
0° bevel angle adjustment.
To adjust the left 45° bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock
handle and tilt the head to the left. If the pointer does not
indicate exactly 45°, turn the left bevel stop screw until the
pointer reads 45° (Figure 13).
To adjust the right 45° bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock
handle and press the bevel stop override button (Fig. 13) to
override the 0˚bevel stop. When the saw is fully to the right,
if the pointer does not indicate exactly 45°, turn the right
bevel stop screw until the pointer indicates 45° (Figure 11).
FENCE ADJUSTMENT
Turn Off and Unplug the Miter Saw
To adjust the left or right fence, loosen the plastic knob
shown in Figure 16 and slide the fence in or out. Always
adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to
provide maximum workpiece support, without interfering with
arm up & down movement or guard movement. Tighten
knobs securely.
NOTE: When beveling and mitering to the right, it may be
necessary to remove the right fence. To remove the fence,
loosen the fence adjustment knob until the fence is free to
slide off. ALWAYS make a dry run with the power off before
making any cuts.
GUARD ACTUATION AND VISIBILITY
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.
The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while
cutting. Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying
debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses
should be worn at all times when viewing through the louvers.
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
EWALT service center.
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from
the kerf. The brake is not a substitute for guards. Ensure
