This electric tool complies relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.

Additional Safety Rules for Radial Arm Saws

- Protect the electric power supply with a suitable fuse or circuit breaker.

- Keep the bearing tracks in the arm and the bearings on the roller head assembly clean and free from grease.

- Before turning the saw on, make sure that the fence is in the correct position. The blade should not contact the material until the saw is pulled by the handle.

- Always set the finger guard so that it passes above the fixed fence or is 3 mm above the surface of the material being cut, whichever is higher.

- Regularly check the adjustments for accuracy and adjust as required.

• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the teeth are pointing towards the fence.

- Make sure all clamp handles are tight before starting operation.

- Never run the machine without all guards in place.

- When not in use, protect the saw blade completely using the blade guard.

- When not in use, when changing blades or carrying out maintenance, disconnect the machine from the power supply.

- Always use correct, sharpened saw blades manufactured in accordance with EN847-1 and with a rake angle of +/- 5 ~mm .

- Never use saw blades where the maximum marked speed is lower than the revolution speed of the spindle.

- Do not use HSS (high-speed steel) saw blade.

• The recommended blade diameter is stated in the technical data.

- Do not wedge anything against the motor fan to hold the motor shaft.

ENGLISH

- Before use, ensure the guards, brake, automatic return and locking devices are functioning properly. Do not use the machine if these devices are defective.

- When sawing a round workpiece ALWAYS use suitable jig or prism to prevent rotation of the workpiece.

- Do not force the cutting action. (Stalling or partial stalling of the motor can cause major damage.) Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.

- Do not lift the machine by its worktable.

- Do not cut ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals or masonry.

- Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.

- Do not place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source.

- Do not reach around behind the saw blade when in use.

- Do not place hands closer than 150 mm from the saw blade while cutting.

- Do not use damaged or cracked saw blades.

- Replace the fence if damaged and/or no longer offers proper support. The fence needs to be replaced periodically.

- ALWAYS ensure safe operation. The radial arm saws needs to be fixed to the floor with diameter 8 mm bolts with a minimum length of 80 mm.

WARNING! When cutting round workpiece it is necessary to secure the workpiece against rotation by using jig or holder.

- Do not use the machine in locations where the temperature may reach -5° or 40°C. Suitable temperature is 20°C.

- Operators shall be instructed on factors influencing exposure to noise (e.g. use of saw blade designed to reduce the emitted noise and machine maintenance). Report faults in the machine, including guards or saw blade, as soon as they are discovered. Ensure the operator is adequately trained in use, adjustment and operation of the machine.

- Connect the machine to a dust collection device when sawing wood. Always consider factors which influence exposure of dust such as:

- Type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust than wood).

- Correct adjustment of saw blade.

- Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are properly adjusted.

• Always wear working gloves when servicing the machine, handling rough workpieces or changing the saw blade.

- If a voltage failure occurs under idle condition, release the handle immediately ensuring the saw head moves automatically back to its rest position.

WARNING! Defect electrical wiring needs to be replaced immediately.

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 switch is in the OFF position An accidental start-up can cause injury.

- Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using the defective machine.

- When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting, tum the machine off and disconnect it from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs free. Tum the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feed force.

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.
• Never run the machine without the guards in place.
• Never lift the machine by the table top.
  • Always check that there is a suitable slot in the table top.

• Always refer to figure 35 to check the fence position and 7. Proceed as for a vertical cross-cut. type. COMPOUND ITEMS (FIG. 25)

The attention of UK users is drawn to the “woodworking machines regulations 1974” and any subsequent amendments.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF (FIG. 1)

The on/off switch of your radial arm saw offers multiple advantages:

• No-volt release function: should the power be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
• Motor overload protection device: in case of motor overload, the power supply to the motor will be cut off. If this happens, let the motor cool for 10 minutes and then press the reset button on top of the motor (only DW728KN). NOTE: DW729KN has an automatic resetting overload protection.
• Braking system: after switching off, the braking system will stop the saw blade within 10 seconds.
• The switch has hold-to-run functions only.
• Isolating switch (DW729KN): manual rotary switch to cut OFF all power to the unit.

To switch the machine on, press the green actuator (a) in the handle (b). When the actuator is released the machine stops automatically.

MAKING A TRIAL CUT (FIG. 1)

1. With the mitre latch lever (j) engaged, lock the mitre clamp lever (k) so that the blade is positioned for a straight 0^ cross-cut.
2. Lower the arm until the blade almost touches the table top.

3. Place the workpiece against the front of the fence.

4. Switch on and lower the arm to allow the blade to cut a shallow groove in the table surface.

5. Pull the blade towards you so that it cuts a vertical slot in the wooden fence and through the workpiece.
6. Return the blade back to rest position and switch off.
7. Check that the cut is a true 90^ in all planes and adjust if required.

Basic Saw Cuts (fi g. 33–36)

WARNING: The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be dangerous.

CROSS-CUTTING (FIG. 33)

1. Set the radial arm at right angles to the fence.
2. Engage the mitre latch lever (j) in 0° position and tighten the mitre clamp lever (k).
3. Lower the blade.
4. Adjust the finger guard (a2) so that it just clears the workpiece.
5. If there is no slot in the table top, cut one as described above.
6. Hold the workpiece against the fence, keeping your fingers well away from the path of the blade.
7. Switch on and slowly pull the blade through the fence and the workpiece.
8. Return the blade to rest position and switch off.

MITRE CUTS (FIG. 34, 35)

1. Release the mitre latch lever (j) and the mitre clamp lever (k).
2. Swing the arm to the required angle on the mitre scale.
3. For 45^ left or right, engage the mitre latch lever (j) and lock with the mitre clamp lever (k).
4. For intermediate angles, use the mitre clamp lever only.
5. Proceed as for cross-cutting.

BEVEL CUTS (FIG. 33, 36)

1. Set the arm as for a 0^ cross-cut.
2. Raise the blade well above the table surface.
3. Release the bevel clamp lever (a3) and pull out the bevel latch (a4).
4. Tilt the motor to the required angle on the bevel scale (u).
5. For 45^ right, engage the bevel latch (a4) and lock with the bevel clamp lever (a3).

6. For intermediate angles, use the bevel clamp lever only.

7. Proceed as for a vertical cross-cut.

COMPOUND MITRE (FIG. 35)

This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.

1. Set the required bevel angle.
2. Swing the arm to the required mitre position.
3. Proceed as for mitre cuts.
