4. Select the proper blade for the application (see Blades). Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter) with the proper size and shape center hole for mounting on the saw spindle. Always assure that the maximum recommended speed (rpm) on the saw blade meets or exceeds the speed (rpm) of the saw. 5. Follow steps 2 through 6 under To Install the Blade, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction. DC310 ONLY (FIG. 6, 7) To Install the Blade: 1. Place inner clamp washer (Q) on saw spindle with the large flat surface facing out toward the blade (Fig. 6). FIG. 6 Q R S G F LJ 2. Retract the lower blade guard (G) and place blade on saw spindle against the inner clamp washer, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction (the direction of the rotation arrow on the saw blade and the teeth must point in the same direction as the direction of rotation arrow on the saw). Do not assume that the printing on the blade will always be facing you when properly installed. When retracting the lower blade guard to install the blade, check the condition and operation of the lower blade guard to assure that it is working properly. Make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. 3. Place outer clamp washer (R) on saw spindle with the large flat surface against the blade with beveled side facing out. 4. Thread blade clamping screw (S) into saw spindle by hand (screw has left-hand threads and must be turned counterclockwise to tighten, as shown in Figure 8). 5. Depress the blade lock (L) while turning the saw spindle with the blade wrench until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating (Fig. 7). 6. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the blade wrench. CAUTION: Never engage the blade lock while saw is running or engage in an effort to stop the tool. Never turn the saw on while the blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to your saw will result. To Replace the Blade (Fig. 7): 1. To loosen the blade clamping screw (S), depress the blade lock button (L) and turn the saw spindle with the blade wrench until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating. With the blade lock engaged, turn the blade clamping screw clockwise with the blade wrench (screw has left-hand threads and must be turned clockwise to loosen). 2. Remove the blade clamping screw (S) and outer clamp washer (R) only. Remove old blade. FIG. 7 L G FIG. 8 LOOSEN (clockwise) TIGHTEN (counterclockwise) 3. Clean any sawdust that may have accumulated in the guard or clamp washer area and check the condition and operation of the lower blade guard as previously outlined. Do not lubricate this area. 4. Select the proper blade for the application (see Blades). Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter) with the proper size and shape center hole for mounting on the saw spindle. Always assure that the maximum recommended speed (rpm) on the saw blade meets or exceeds the speed (rpm) of the saw. 5. Follow steps 2 through 6 under To Install the Blade, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction. LOWER BLADE GUARD (DC300 and DC310) 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 12 English English English 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. Blades WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharp blade. CAUTION: Do not cut ferrous metals (steel), masonry, glass, Hardiplank® (or similar masonry-type planking), cement board or tile with this saw. Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback. Please refer to the following table to determine the correct size replacement blade for your model saw. Model Diameter Arbor DC300 7-1/4" 5/8" DC310 6-1/2" 5/8" Use only DEWALT general purpose cutting, smooth wood cutting, or non-carbide plywood/vinyl cutting blades.
