Cutting with Blade in Horizontal Position
(Fig. I, J)
Your DCS367 is equipped with a horizontal blade clamp
(Fig. I). Installing a blade in the horizontal orientation allows
cutting close to floors, walls or ceilings where limited
clearance is available. Ensure that the shoe is pressed
against the framing to avoid kickback (Fig. J).

Cutting (Fig. K–N)
WARNING: Always use eye protection.
All users
and bystanders must wear eye protection that
conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING:
Exercise extra caution when cutting
towards operator. Always hold saw firmly with both
hands while cutting.
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly
anchored or clamped to prevent slipping. Place blade lightly
against work to be cut, switch on saw motor and allow
it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure.
Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly
against the material being cut (Fig. K). This will prevent
the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade
breakage. Any cuts which put pressure on the blade such as
angle or scroll cuts increase potential for vibration, kickback,
and blade breakage.
WARNING:
Use extra caution when cutting overhead
and pay particular attention to overhead wires which
may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of
falling branches and debris ahead of time.
WARNING:
Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes,
water pipes, or electrical wires before making blind or
plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in explosion,
property damage, electric shock, and/or serious
personal injury.
