and dust collection port. For best results,
connect a vacuum to the port at the rear of the
saw.
After extended use, the saw’s dust collection
system may become clogged. To clear the
dust collection system:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom,
open part of the unit is accessible.
3. Open the dust access door (UU) shown
in Figure 43 by removing the wing screws
(V V). Clean out the excess dust, and
re-secure the access door with the wing
screws.
Lubrication
FIG. 44
1. All motor bearings are permanently lubricated
at the factory and no additional lubrication is
needed.
2. The height adjustment gear may require
periodic cleaning and lubrication (Fig. 44). If
you have difficulty raising or lowering
the blade, contact a D

Miter Gauge Operation
To set your miter gauge, loosen the lock handle and move the miter gauge to the desired
angle.
Compound Mitering
This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering. Follow the instructions for both
bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Featherboard Construction
Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, and help
prevent kickbacks. Dimensions for making a typical featherboard are shown in Fig. 41. Make
the featherboard from a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Clamp the
featherboard to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboard will support
the workpiece until the cut is complete (Fig. 42). An 8" (203 mm) high flat board can be
clamped to the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8" (203mm) high board.

WARNING: Use featherboards for all non-thru sawing operations where the blade guard
assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife cannot be used. Always replace the
blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife when the non-thru
sawing operation is complete. Make sure the featherboard presses only on the portion of
the workpiece in front of the blade.
