Using the DeWalt DCS781B is a breeze. First, make sure you have a fully - charged DEWALT FLEXVOLT® DCB609 battery. Attach the blade using the blade wrench that comes with the saw. Set up your material on the saw table and use the material clamp to secure it. The CUTLINE™ blade positioning system will show you exactly where to cut, so you can make accurate cuts every time. When it comes to dust, you can use the dust bag for basic collection or connect a vacuum cleaner using the vacuum adapter and dual - fitting dust port. For better dust collection, you can also use the DWV015 Dust Extractor (sold separately). Now for the important stuff. Always wear safety goggles and ear protection when using the saw. Keep your hands away from the blade and make sure the saw is turned off when not in use. After each use, clean the saw. Wipe down the blade and the saw body, and empty the dust bag. If you're using the dust extractor, clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Periodically check the bevel - gear transmission for any signs of wear or damage. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your DeWalt DCS781B miter saw.
