- Place a set square (49) on the table and up against the blade (45) (fig. J2).

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
- Loosen the bevel clamp handle (15) and turn the vertical position adjustment stop screw (55) in or out until the blade is at 90^ to the table as measured with the square.
- If the bevel pointer (56) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (14), loosen the screw (57) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as necessary.
Adjusting the fence (fig. K1 & K2)
The upper part of the left side of the fence can be adjusted to the left to provide clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 45^ left. To adjust the fence (13):
- Loosen the plastic knob (58) and slide the fence to the left.
- Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and down movement of the arm.
- Tighten the knob securely.

WARNING: The guide groove (59) can become clogged with sawdust. Use a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide groove.
The moveable part of the right side of the fence can be adjusted to provide maximum support of the workpiece near the blade, while allowing the saw to bevel to a full 45^ left. The sliding distance is limited by stops in both directions. To adjust the fence (6):
- Loosen the wingnut (60) to release the fence (6).
- Slide the fence to the left.
- Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and down movement of the arm.
- Tighten the wingnut (60) to secure the fence in place.
Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. J1, J5 & K1)
- Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (58) and slide the upper part of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go.
- Loosen the bevel clamp handle (15) and move the saw head to the left. This is the 45^ bevel position.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
- Turn the stopscrew (61) in or out as necessary until the pointer (56) indicates 45^ .

WARNING: While performing this adjustment, it is advisable to take the weight of the saw head by holding it. This will make it easier to turn the adjustment screw.
Rail guide adjustment (fig. L)
Regularly check the rails for clearance.
- To reduce clearance, gradually rotate the set screw (62) clockwise while sliding the saw head back and forth.
Adjustments for saw bench mode
Changing from mitre saw to saw bench mode (fig. A1 & A2)
- Lock the table (19) into highest position.
- Put the blade into 0^ cross-cut position with the litre lever (10) secured (fig. A1).
- Lock the rail lock knob (18) with the saw head in the rear position.
- Press the head lock-up release lever (3) to lower the head and depress the lock down pin (17).
- Fit the parallel fence (22) as described below.
Adjusting the riving knife (fig. M1 & M2)
The correct position is for the top of the riving knife (20) to be no more than 2 mm below the highest tooth of the blade and the body of the radius to be a maximum of 5 mm from the tips of the saw blade teeth (fig. M1).
- Loosen the bolts (63) which allows the riving knife to move up and down (fig. M2).
- Slide the knife either up or down until the correct position is attained.
- Retighten the bolts (63) firmly.
Mounting and adjusting the parallel fence (fig. N1 - N4)

If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
- Loosen the adjustment knob (66) fastening the fence bracket to the fence support (fig. N2).
-
Adjust the fence so that it is parallel to the blade by checking the distance between the blade and the fence at the front and rear of the blade.
-
When the adjustment has been carried out, re-tighten the adjustment knob and check again that the fence is parallel to the blade.
- Check that the pointer (67) indicates zero on the scale (fig. N3). If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (68), move the pointer to read 0 and tighten the screw.
The fence is reversible: the workpiece can be guided along the 52 mm or along the 8 mm face to allow the use of a push stick when ripping thin workpieces (fig. N4).
- To set for 8 mm, loosen the adjustment knob (66) and slide the fence (22) out of the clamping support (70).
- Turn the fence and re-engage the clamping support in the slot as shown (fig. N4).
- To use with the full height of 52mm , slide the fence into the clamping support with the wide face in the vertical position (fig. N1).

WARNING:
- Use the 8 mm profile for ripping low workpieces to allow access between the blade and the fence for the push stick.
The rear end of the fence should be level with the front of the riving knife.
Adjusting the saw bench table (fig. A1, A2)
The table (19) slides up and down manually and is held at the required height with two locking knobs.
- Loosen the table locking knobs, both main (16) and additional (4), but do not take them off.

- Press down the operating handle (2) and pull out the lock down pin (17), as shown.
Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to its full height.
Prior to Operation
- Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the saw blade.
- Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
- Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
- Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
- Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
- Secure the workpiece.
- Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, these operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other materials. Do not cut ferrous (iron and steel) materials or masonry with this saw! Do not use any abrasive discs!
- When cutting non-ferrous materials, always use a suitable DEWALT saw blade with a rake angle of -5^ . Make sure to secure the material in position using a material clamp.
- Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf slot is wider than 10mm .
- Ensure the material to be sawn is firmly secured in place.
- Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side pressure on the saw blade.
- Avoid overloading.
Always remove the dust from the machine after use to ensure the lower guard operates properly.
- When sawing wood and wood products, always connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is not too cold, machine and accessory is well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine.
Switching on and off (fig. 0)
The on/off switch has a built-in no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
- To switch the machine on, press the green start button (71).
To switch the machine off, press the red stop button (72).
Basic saw cuts
Quality of cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g. the material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desired results.

WARNING: Ensure that the material does not creep while cutting; clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising the arm. If small fibres of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape when finished.
The machine is provided with a 38 mm dust extraction port on the upper blade guard.
- Connect a suitable dust extraction device, designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission, during all sawing operations.
Sawing in litre saw mode
It is dangerous to operate without guarding. Guards must be in position when sawing.
General handling
- In the mirte saw mode, the sawhead is automatically locked in the upper "park"-position.
- Squeezing the guard release lever will unlock the sawhead. Moving the sawhead down retracts the movable lower guard.
- Never seek to prevent the lower guard returning to its park position when the cut is completed.
- The D27111 saw can cut workpieces up to 220 mm width by 90 mm height. The D27112 saw can cut workpieces up to 285 mm width by 90 mm height. For the proper cutting capacities, refer to the technical data. The length of the workpiece should never exceed the base width
without adequate support. The end of the workpiece should never be less than 160mm away from the blade without additional clamping means.
- In operation, place your hands no closer than 160mm from the blade. When cutting short material (min. 160mm to the left or the right of the blade), the use of the optional material clamp is required.
- The minimum length of offcut material is 10mm
- When cutting workpieces longer than the table width, make sure that the workpiece is stable over its full length. Support the protruding parts of the workpiece as necessary, e.g. using the optional workpiece extension.
- When cutting UPVC sections, a supporting piece made out of timber with a complementary profile should be placed beneath the material being cut to provide the correct level of support.
Clamping the Workpiece (fig. A3, W)

WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure before a cut may become unbalanced after a cut is completed. An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the saw is attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut that may become unbalanced, properly support the workpiece and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable surface. Personal injury may occur.

WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the base of the saw whenever the clamp is used. Always clamp the workpiece to the base of the saw - not to any other part of the work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of the base of the saw.

CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of workpiece damage and personal injury.
Use the material clamp (27) provided with your saw. Other aids such as spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of material.
TO INSTALL CLAMP
- Insert it into the hole behind the fence. The clamp should be facing toward the back of the metre saw. Ensure the groove on the clamp rod is fully inserted into the base of the metre saw. If the groove is visible, the clamp will not be secure.
- Rotate the clamp 180^ toward the front of the litre saw.
- Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use the fine adjust knob to firmly clamp the workpiece.
NOTE: Place the clamp on the right side of the base when beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE.ENSURE THE CLAMP DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.
Vertical straight cross cut (fig. A1 & P)
- Release the litre lever (10) and depress the litre latch (9).
- Engage the litre latch at the 0^ position and tighten the litre lever.
- Place the wood to be cut against the fence (6 & 13).
Take hold of the operating handle (2) and depress the head lock up release lever (3) to release the head.
- Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
- Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and enter the plastic kerf plate (8).
- After completing the cut, switch the machine off and wait for the saw blade to come to a complete standstill before returning the head to its upper rest position.
The guide rail allows cutting larger workpieces using an out-down-back sliding motion.

WARNING:
- Do not perform sliding cuts on workpieces smaller than 50 × 100 mm .
Remember to lock the saw head in the rear position when sliding cuts are finished.
Cutting small pieces (fi g. K1 & K2)
The upper part of the left side of the fence (13) and the moveable part of the right side of the fence (6) can be adjusted to provide maximum support when cutting small pieces.
- Put the saw blade into vertical position.
- Loosen the plastic knob (58) at least 3 full turns.
- Adjust the left fence as close to the blade as possible.
- Tighten the knob securely.
- Loosen the wingnut (60).
- Adjust the right fence as close to the blade as possible.
- Tighten the wingnut.
Vertical litre cross-cut (fig. A1 & R)
- Release the mitre lever (10) and depress the mitre latch (9). Move the arm left or right to the required angle.
- The litre latch will automatically locate at 10^ , 15^ , 22.5^ , 31.62^ and 45^ both left and right, and at 50^ left and 60^ right. If any intermediate angle is required hold the head firmly and lock by tightening the litre lever.
- Always ensure that the litre lever is locked tightly before cutting.
- Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.

WARNING: When milting the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut, position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade with the greater angle to the fence:
leftmitre,off-cutto thereight
right mitre, off-cut to the left.
Bevel cuts (fig. A1, K1 & S)
Bevel angles can be set from 48^ left to 2^ right and can be cut with the litre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45^ litre position right or left.
- Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (58) and slide the upper part of the left side fence (13) to the left as far as it will go. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (15) and set the bevel as desired.
- Tighten the bevel clamp handle (15) firmly.
- Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Compound titre
This cut is a combination of a litre and a bevel cut.
- Set the bevel angle and subsequently set the mitre angle.
Sawing in the bench mode
Always use the riving knife.
- Always ensure that the riving knife and blade guard are correctly aligned.
Always ensure that the litre saw is set and locked in 0^ litre.

WARNING: Do not cut metal in this mode.
Ripping (fig. 7)
-
Set the bevel angle to 0^ .
-
Adjust the saw blade height. The correct blade position is to have the tips of three teeth above the top surface of the wood. Ensure that the saw bench table is securely fixed at the chosen height.
- Set the parallel fence to the required distance.
-
Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece approx. 25 mm away from the saw blade.
-
