Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the unit, attach the saw to the DEAWST05 stand using the pre-drilled mounting holes provided on the saw base. Ensure the stand legs are fully locked in the desired position (550mm or 800mm) before placing the saw. Before beginning work, always check that both 18V batteries are fully charged and securely clicked into their respective ports. Regular maintenance includes clearing dust buildup from the slide rails to maintain smooth travel and inspecting the blade for sharpness. Wipe the anti-slip elastomer grip handle with a dry cloth periodically to ensure a secure hold, and avoid using harsh solvents that may degrade the rubber material.
