0:24
you how to diagnose and fix them
0:25

0:28
we're going to handle this right here in

0:32
preventative maintenance and knowhow
0:33

0:35
costly repairs but also keep your saw
0:38
humming like new for years to come so
0:40
let's roll up our sleeves and get those
0:42
DeWalt saws running
0:44
[Music]
0:46
smoothly first things first let's talk
0:48
blade alignment you see a misaligned
0:50
blade can cause a whole host of problems
0:52
we're talking uneven cuts dangerous
0:54
kickback and even damage to your
0:55
precious lumber trust me I've learned
0:57
this one the hard way over the years now
1:00
there are a few ways a blade can get out
1:01
of whack it could be as simple as the
1:03
blade not being seated properly on the
1:05
arbor or the trunions those adjustable
1:08
parts that hold the saw assembly might
1:11
be out of alignment to check for
1:13
alignment unplug your saw safety first
1:15
folks and use a combination square place
1:18
it against the blade and make sure it's
1:20
parallel to the miter slots on your
1:22
table saw if it's off even by a hair
1:25
you'll need to adjust the trunions this
1:27
takes a little finesse so refer to your
1:30
saw's manual but it usually involves
1:32
loosening some bolts making small
1:34
adjustments and then tightening
1:36
everything back up remember patience is
1:38
key here you want to get this right a
1:40
properly aligned blade will not only
1:42
give you cleaner cuts but also make your
1:44
sawing safer and more enjoyable trust me
1:47
there's nothing more satisfying than a
1:49
smooth precise cut it's like butter
1:55
okay let's move on to the heart of your
1:56
saw the motor now a DeWalt motor is a
1:58
beast but like any hardworking engine it
2:01
can run into problems overheating belt
2:03
slippage or even electrical issues can
2:05
bring your sawing to a screeching halt
2:08
first off always make sure your saw is
2:10
plugged into a grounded outlet and that
2:11
the circuit breaker isn't tripped you'd
2:14
be surprised how many times that's the
2:15
culprit next check the belt a loose or
2:18
worn belt can cause the motor to work
2:20
harder and overheat if you see cracks or
2:22
excessive wear it's time for a
2:24
replacement luckily belts are relatively
2:27
inexpensive and easy to replace if the
2:29
motor is overheating it could be due to
2:31
dust buildup inside the motor housing
2:33
unplug the saw grab your shop back and
2:36
give it a good cleaning remember a clean
2:38
saw is a happy saw lastly if you suspect
2:41
an electrical issue like a faulty switch
2:43
or wiring problem it's best to call in a
2:46
qualified electrician electricity is
2:48
nothing to mess around with folks safety
2:53
first now let's talk about something
2:55
many folks overlook dust collection i
2:58
know I know it's not the most exciting
3:00
topic but trust me proper dust
3:01
collection is crucial for both your
3:03
health and the longevity of your saw
3:06
think about it all that sawdust flying
3:08
around isn't just messy it's bad for
3:10
your lungs and can wreak havoc on your
3:12
saw's internal workings over time it can
3:15
clog up the motor gum up the gears and
3:17
even lead to premature wear and tear the
3:20
good news is that keeping things clean
3:21
is fairly straightforward first off make
3:24
sure your saw has a good dust collection
3:26
system most DeWalt saws come with a dust
3:28
port so connect it to a shop back or
3:30
dust collector next don't forget about
3:33
the saw itself after each use take a few
3:35
minutes to clear away any sawdust
3:37
buildup on the table around the blade
3:39
and inside the cabinet a brush a rag and
3:42
a little elbow grease go a long way
3:44
remember a clean shop is a safe shop and
3:47
it also makes for a much more enjoyable
3:48
woodworking experience plus your lungs
3:51
will thank you in the long
3:55
run chapter 4 eyes on the visual once
3:58
over now before you fire up that saw
4:01
it's always a good idea to give it a
4:02
quick visual inspection think of it like
4:05
a pre-flight check for your woodworking
4:07
it only takes a minute and it can save
4:09
you a world of trouble down the line
4:11
start by looking for anything out of the
4:12
ordinary are there any loose screws or
4:14
bolts any cracked or damaged parts is
4:18
anything obstructing the blade or the
4:19
movement of the saw pay close attention
4:22
to the blade guard and riving knife
4:24
these safety features are essential for
4:26
preventing kickback and other accidents
4:28
make sure they're properly installed and
4:30
functioning smoothly also check the
4:32
power cord for any cuts frays or damage
4:35
a damaged cord is a serious electrical
4:37
hazard and should be replaced
4:39
immediately remember a little
4:41
preventative maintenance goes a long way
4:44
by taking the time to inspect your saw
4:46
regularly you'll catch small problems
4:48
before they become big
4:50
[Music]
4:52
headaches chapter 5 listen up test in
4:55
the waters all right now that you've
4:57
given your saw the once over it's time
4:59
to put it through its paces with a few
5:00
simple tests don't worry this isn't
5:02
rocket science we're just going to
5:04
listen and observe how the saw is
5:06
running first unplug the saw and give
5:08
the blade a spin by hand it should
5:10
rotate freely and smoothly without any
5:12
wobbling or grinding noises if you feel
5:15
any resistance or hear strange sounds it
5:17
could indicate a problem with the
5:18
bearings or the arbor next plug in the
5:21
saw and turn it on letting it run for a
5:23
few seconds listen carefully to the
5:25
motor does it sound smooth and
5:27
consistent or do you hear any unusual
5:29
noises like grinding squealing or
5:31
rattling while the saw is running
5:34
observe the blade it should spin true
5:36
and straight without any excessive
5:38
vibration if you notice any wobbling or
5:40
vibration it could be a sign of a bent
5:42
blade or an alignment issue remember
5:44
these tests are just a starting point if
5:47
you notice anything out of the ordinary
5:49
it's always best to air on the side of
