Installation Instructions
This section details the process for replacing the inner and outer flange plates and the locking bolt on your compatible Dewalt 4.5" compact circular saw.
Safety Precautions
- Always disconnect the saw from its power source (remove battery or unplug) before performing any maintenance or part replacement.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, to prevent injury.
- Ensure the saw blade is stationary and cool before handling.
Step-by-Step Replacement
- Prepare the Saw: Ensure the saw is powered off and the battery is removed. Place the saw on a stable, flat surface.
- Remove Existing Components: Locate the existing outer flange, inner flange, and locking bolt on the saw's spindle. Use the appropriate wrench or tool (often a hex key) to loosen and remove the locking bolt. Carefully remove the outer flange and then the inner flange.
- Clean the Spindle: Inspect the saw's spindle and surrounding area for any debris, sawdust, or rust. Clean thoroughly to ensure proper seating of the new components.
- Install Inner Flange: Place the new MTP inner flange onto the saw's spindle. Ensure it sits flush and correctly aligned.
- Install Saw Blade (if applicable): If you are also replacing the blade, position the saw blade onto the spindle, ensuring the teeth are oriented correctly for cutting.
- Install Outer Flange: Place the new MTP outer flange over the saw blade (if installed) and onto the spindle. Ensure it aligns with the inner flange and the blade.
- Secure with Locking Bolt: Insert the new MTP locking bolt into the center of the outer flange and spindle. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench or hex key to securely tighten the bolt. Follow the directional arrows on the bolt head for tightening (typically clockwise). Do not overtighten.
- Verify Installation: Gently attempt to rotate the saw blade by hand to ensure it is securely fastened and rotates freely without wobble. Re-attach the battery or plug in the saw and perform a brief test run in a safe environment to confirm proper operation.
Operation
This MTP replacement kit is a component for your Dewalt 4.5" compact circular saw. Once correctly installed, it facilitates the secure attachment and operation of the saw blade. Refer to your Dewalt saw's original instruction manual for detailed operating procedures of the saw itself.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your MTP replacement flange plates and locking bolt:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically remove the components and clean them of sawdust, dirt, and debris. A dry cloth or soft brush is usually sufficient.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the inner and outer flanges and the locking bolt for any signs of wear, damage, cracks, or deformation. Replace components immediately if any damage is observed.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is typically required for these components. Keep them dry and free of grease or oil, which can attract dust.
- Storage: Store the components in a clean, dry place when not in use or if kept as spares.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing the MTP replacement kit, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blade Wobbles / Not Secure | Locking bolt not tightened sufficiently. | Ensure the locking bolt is tightened firmly, following the directional arrows. Do not overtighten. |
| Blade Does Not Spin Freely | Components misaligned or debris on spindle. | Disassemble, clean the spindle and components thoroughly, then reassemble ensuring proper alignment. |
| Difficulty Installing Components | Incorrect component orientation or debris. | Verify the inner and outer flanges are oriented correctly. Clean the spindle and inside of the flanges. |
| Components Don't Fit | Incorrect product compatibility. | Confirm your Dewalt saw model (DCS571P1 or DCS571B) matches the compatibility listed for this MTP kit. This kit is specifically for 4.5" Dewalt compact saws. |
