How to Open a DeWalt Miter Saw DW705

A DeWalt DW705 Miter Saw is a particular brand and model of miter saw that is capable of cutting straight cuts, angled cuts and compound cuts. The saw has a few compartments that can be opened and closed, such as the blade guard, blast gate and dust collector. All of these units must be open before the saw will work correctly. Opening these parts is not difficult, and some even open on their own just before the saw is turned on and cutting begins. Always use proper safety equipment when using a saw to prevent injuries.
