Don't know if this will help but I noticed that the gears in the rack and pinion collect extreme amount of dust causing same symptoms that disappeared after thorough cleaning.

I reworked one of these saws once and the two tracks were a little misaligned which made the gears tight. The good thing about the saw is that everything is adjustable one way or another. The other possibility is a bad gear roller or track. I have also had great success getting parts for this saw by calling 1-800-4dewalt.

Bob's answer is the first line of defense. I've also experienced that with the blade height adjustment, especially if you rip a lot of mdf. If it's that way out of the box, I'd ask "Is it sticky when the fence is removed?" If not, I'd adjust the back setscrew on the fence rails as one rail is probably fighting the other. Mine is as smooth as glass, so it's not systemic.

My sister did most of the work:) but it was already sticky i believe... hope that helped.

You didn't mount the side rails straight enough. The same thing already to me. And unfortunately the adhesive isn't meant to be taken off and reapplied so I had to screw it to my cabinets (how it should have been anyway)

I remember having the same problem. Try something different for the spacer or cut the spacer in half. Once you get it to snap together, it will be fine. It has been assembled and in heavy use by my 5 year old since I bought it.

You might try to wiggle it a bit as you get the screws through... The alignment is close but may not be exact... Try using a screwdriver shaft to line up the holes on both sides of the frame... Also be wary about the horizontal pivot rod (the shaft where the elliptical handles slide onto) make sure the grease is applied well, the fittings are tight and scrape most of the grease off as you slide the fittings on causing squeaking and eventual wear... Good luck...

I added more spray when mine had problems sticking. Let me know if this helps

Hi steve i have the same one. U shud make your own mounting brackets as the ones spplied are inadequate. U shud use four brackets to make it stable. Sorry im having the same problem. Good luck. Jim

Screw in hitch pin works for tightening rack.It won't move and stay tight and firm.It works pretty well.

i'm not sure what to tell you....or how u attached your rear rack, because mine is almost vertical when i attached it to my bike just exactly like the picture....maybe u should ask for an exchange. 20-30 degrees of tilting (either up or down wards) i believe is not right. good luck.

Try a piece of rubber such as an old inner tube from a bike tire to wrap and protect the finish before loosening it with a pair of channel locks. Don't squeeze the channel locks any tighter than necessary to get it to move. Counter clock wise of course!

You are cleaning between the keys. If the stickiness is not due to something being between the keys, I would think that this is not the product that you need.

I had the same problem, extra racks. They do not sell them. What I did was cut the lower parts of two wire hangers,so you have in your hand two rods the size of the original rack. Now if you want to make it more fancy in a mesh like form,fine. So you put the two rods in the slots and place your pan on top.

Clean the surface with alcohol, tubbing, not the drinking kind. And ince you attach it hold it for a few seconds. It took a couple of times for me too.

I cut felt pads to put where the 2 pins are located, instead of the rubber. Only time it rattled since has been when I made the roll bar pin move on 1 side

Mine doesn't rock at all, so I don't think that is normal. I'm assuming you have the yellow piece with the red button attached so it is secured to the rack, but other than not am not sure what else you should do.
