Uncertainty K = m/s² 1.5 1.5 The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 61029 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents

the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.ENGLISH

General Safety Rules

1. Keep work area clear.

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2. Consider work area environment.

Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g., in the presence of flammable liquids and gases.

3. Guard against electric shock.

4. Depress the head lock up release lever (2) and press down on the head

while tighening the head lock down screw (13).

5. Set the depth of cut by sliding the table (14) up or down. The correct

position is to have the tips of three teeth above the top surface of the wood.

6. Set the rip fence (17) as required in order to support as much of the

workpiece as possible. At least the rear end of the fence should be level with the front of the riving knife.

7. Set the rip fence for the width of cut required by using the scale let into

the front of the table.

8. Switch on the machine.

9. Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the front of the upper blade

guard, keeping it firmly pressed against the rip fence.

10. Remember to always use the push stick (58) (fig. N).

11. After completing the cut, switch off the machine.

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. MAINTENANCE Your DEWALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

WARNING: Since accessories, other than those offered by

DEWALT, have not been tested with this product, use of such accessories with this tool could be hazardous. To reduce the risk of injury, only DEWALT, recommended accessories should be used with this product. DUST EXTRACTION A separate dust kit is available for optimal dust extraction (DE7779). CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE (FIG. A3)

• In most cases, the action of the blade is sufficient to hold the material firmly against the fence.

• If the material has a tendency to lift or come forward from the fence, preferably use the optional material clamp (23).

• Always use the clamp if cutting non-ferrous metals. SAWING SHORT WORKPIECES (FIG. A3, A4) It is advisable to use the length stop for short workpieces (27) both for batch sawing and for short individual workpieces of different lengths. The length stop can only be used in conjunction with a pair of optional guide rails (21). SAWING LONG WORKPIECES (FIG. A3)

WARNING: Always support long workpieces.

Figure A3 shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when the saw is used free-standing (all items available as an option). These items (except the legstand and the material clamp) are required both on the infeed and the outfeed side: 20 Table end plate for support the rails; also when working on an existing bench. 21 Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm). 22 Material support plates. 23 Material clamp. 24 Swivelling stop. 25 Stands to support the guide rails. The height of the stands is adjustable.

WARNING: Do not use the stands to support the machine!

26 Legstand (supplied with mounting instructions). Procedure

1. Place your saw on the legstand and fit the guide rails.

2. Firmly screw the material support plates (22) to the guide rails (21). The

material clamp (23) now functions as a length stop.

3. Install the table end plates (20).

4. Install the swivelling stop (24) to the rear rail.

5. Use the swivelling stop (24) to adjust the length of medium and long

workpieces. It can be adjusted sideways or swung out of the way when not in use. USING THE ROLLER TABLE (FIG. A3, A5) The roller table (29) makes the handling of large and long pieces of wood very easy (fig. A5). It can be connected either to the left or to the right of the machine. The roller table requires the use of the optional legstand (fig. A3).

WARNING: Assemble the roller table following the instructions

supplied with the legstand.

• Replace the short support bars provided with the legstand with the irregular rails from the table on the side the table is to be used.

• Follow all instructions provided with the roller table.
