Lower Blade Guard - DeWalt DWE560 Manual De Instrucciones

LOWER BLADE GUARD

WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety feature which
reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Never use the saw
if the lower guard is missing, damaged, misassembled or not
working properly. Do not rely on the lower blade guard to
protect you under all circumstances. Your safety depends on
following all warnings and precautions as well as proper
operation of the saw. Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use as outlined in Additional Safety Rules for
Circular Saws. If the lower blade guard is missing or not
working properly, have the saw serviced before using. To
assure product safety and reliability, repair, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed by an authorized service
center or other qualified service organization, always using
identical replacement parts.
Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig. 5–7)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect it from power source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Your saw is equipped with a carbide tipped saw blade for long life
and efficient cutting.
Setting the saw at the proper cutting depth keeps blade friction to a
minimum, removes sawdust from between the blade teeth, results in
cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of kickback.
1. Hold the saw firmly. Raise
the depth adjustment
lever (P) to loosen and
move foot plate to obtain
the desired depth of cut,
as shown. Make sure the
depth adjustment lever
has been retightened
(lowered) before
operating the saw.
2. Align the appropriate
mark on the depth adjustment strap (R) with notch (Q) on the
upper blade guard. Your depth is set.
3. 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.
4. A method of checking for the
correct cutting depth is shown
in Figure 7. 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.
