3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking and Assembly

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Refer to the assembly diagrams in your printed manual for detailed steps on attaching handles, guards, and other accessories. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened before use.

3.2 Blade Installation and Inspection

Ensure the saw is unplugged. Follow the instructions for safely installing the saw blade, ensuring it is oriented correctly and the arbor nut is tightened to the specified torque. Always inspect the blade for damage or dullness before each use. A dull or damaged blade can cause kickback and reduce cutting accuracy.

3.3 Workpiece Support and Clamping

Properly support the workpiece to prevent it from tipping or shifting during the cut. Use the provided workpiece clamp to secure the material firmly against the fence and table.

3.4 Dust Extraction Connection

Connect a suitable dust extraction system to the saw's dust port. This helps maintain a clear work area, improves visibility of the cut line, and reduces airborne dust particles.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

To start the saw, press the power switch. To stop, release the switch. Ensure the saw reaches full speed before beginning a cut.

4.2 Adjusting Miter Angle

The miter saw allows for precise angle adjustments for cross-cuts. Loosen the miter lock knob, rotate the turntable to the desired angle indicated on the scale, and then securely tighten the knob.

4.3 Adjusting Bevel Angle

For bevel cuts, adjust the angle of the saw head. Loosen the bevel lock lever, tilt the saw head to the desired angle shown on the bevel scale, and then re-tighten the lever firmly.

4.4 Making Cuts (Cross-cutting and Ripping)

Position the workpiece and secure it. Align the blade with the cut line, utilizing the XPS system for enhanced visibility. Slowly lower the blade through the material, maintaining a steady and controlled motion. For ripping operations, ensure the workpiece is guided parallel to the blade.

4.5 XPS Cut Line System

The XPS system projects a bright shadow line onto the workpiece, indicating the exact path of the blade. This eliminates the need for constant adjustments and significantly improves cutting accuracy and speed.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DEWALT D27113-QS Radial Miter Saw. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the saw, especially the blade area, dust port, and moving parts, to prevent sawdust buildup. Use a brush or compressed air.
• Blade Inspection: Inspect the saw blade before each use for sharpness, cracks, or missing teeth. Replace dull or damaged blades immediately.
• Lubrication: Refer to your full manual for specific lubrication points and recommended lubricants.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness.
