Q: Where is the chain tensioning screw located on the DEWALT DWOAS6PS?

The chain tensioning screw of the DEWALT DWOAS6PS is component number 8 . It is located at the front of the housing , clearly visible and easy to locate. You will see it directly when you look at the front part of the saw. To precisely identify this screw, locate the chain guide (the elongated metal bar) and the pinion cover (reference 2) that covers it. The tensioning screw is located just at the front of the housing, slightly below the pinion cover. To adjust the tension: Use a flathead screwdriver to turn this screw. Before making any adjustments, slightly loosen the two chain guide locking nuts (reference 3) located on either side of the guide. Turn the tensioning screw clockwise to increase the tension and counterclockwise to decrease it . The tension is correct when the chain can be pulled away about 3 mm from the chain guide with a light finger pressure, and it returns to its position by itself. The important thing is that there is no sagging of the chain on the lower part of the guide. Once the adjustment is complete, securely tighten the two locking nuts. Practical tip: Always check the tension before each use, with the battery disconnected. If you have a new chain, inspect it frequently during the first two hours of use as it stretches slightly. Avoid excessive over-tightening: a chain that is too tight reduces the lifespan of the guide and the chain, and drains the battery more quickly.

Question 4

How do I adjust the cutting depth on a DEWALT D27112?

Accepted Answer

On your DEWALT D27112, the cutting depth in bench mode is adjusted by manually changing the height of the table. This maximum depth can reach 51 mm.

Adjustment procedure:

Loosen the two locking knobs of the table: first the main locking knob (16), then the additional locking knob (4), without completely removing them
Manually slide the table (19) up or down to the desired height
Set the desired depth by properly positioning the table
First tighten the main locking knob (16) to secure the table, then firmly lock it with the additional knob (4)

Correct blade position: The blade should be positioned so that the tips of three teeth are above the workpiece. This ensures a cutting depth suitable for your material.

Important points: Make sure the cutting bench is securely fixed at the desired height before starting the cutting. Check that the upper and lower protective covers are in place and functioning correctly when using the cutting bench mode.

Question 5

How to change the blade of the DEWALT D27107 jigsaw?

Accepted Answer

To change the blade of your DEWALT D27107 jigsaw, follow these simple steps:

Unplug the device to ensure your safety before any handling.

Open the mechanism by operating the lever or unscrewing the screw, depending on the system.
Remove the worn blade by gently pulling it out.
Insert the new blade ensuring that the teeth are facing the right direction (forward) and that the blade is properly positioned in the guide.
Close the locking mechanism by tightening the screw or lowering the lever to securely lock the blade in place.
Check the fixation by gently pulling on the blade to ensure it is properly in place.

Your saw is now ready to be used with a new blade. Remember to wear appropriate protective equipment when using it.

Question 6

How do I adjust the head of the DEWALT DWS777 saw to make a bevel cut?

Accepted Answer

To make a bevel cut with the DEWALT DWS777 saw, follow these precise steps:

Steps to tilt the saw head and adjust the bevel angle:

Loosen the bevel lock handle: Pull the handle (part 18) outward and then lower it to unlock.
Adjust the bevel angle: Tilt the saw head to the desired angle. The tilt range is from 0° to 48° to the left.
Adjust the neutralization lever if necessary: This lever (part 29) allows you to adjust the head position for better stability depending on the chosen angle.
Hold the head firmly: While adjusting, prevent the head from dropping suddenly to ensure precise positioning.
Tighten the lock handle: Once the angle is set, raise the bevel lock handle to securely fix the head.

Important note: You can combine a bevel angle of up to 45° with a miter adjustment of up to 45° to the right or left to make combined bevel miter cuts.

Question 7

How to adjust the cutting angle (left/right) on the DEWALT DWS777 saw?

Accepted Answer

To adjust the cutting angle (left or right) on the DEWALT DWS777 saw, follow these steps:

Loosen the miter table locking lever (also called geringshake) located on the right side of the saw to free the rotation.
Turn the miter table to the left or right until you reach the desired angle. The saw automatically locks at standard angles: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62°, 45° and 50° in both directions.
For a non-standard intermediate angle, hold the table in position and tighten the locking lever to secure the chosen angle.
Ensure that the locking lever is tight before starting the cut to ensure safety and accuracy.

If you have difficulty moving the table, make sure the locking lever is fully loosened before attempting to turn the table.

Question 8

How do I adjust the blade height on the DEWALT DW707 saw?

Accepted Answer

To adjust the blade height on the DEWALT DW707 saw, follow these simple steps:

Steps to adjust the blade height:
