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 switching 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 through the pre-cut slot in the fence and/or 3 mm above the surface of the material being cut (except when ripping).

- When ripping, keep the riving knife adjusted to the correct distance from the blade (1 - 3 mm) and make sure the kickback fingers are properly adjusted.

- When ripping, always check the direction of feed.

- 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 sharp blades of the correct type designed for the workpiece. The recommended blade diameter is stated in the technical data.

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

- 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 150mm from the saw blade while cutting.

- Do not use damaged or cracked saw blades.

Mains plug replacement

(U.K. & Ireland only)

• Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized D=WALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2), blue is for Neutral (N) (4) and green/yellow is for Earth (E).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

E 1 2 4 3

Never use a light socket.

• Anti-kickback fingers (60) for use in ripping mode.
• Adjustable finger guard (61) for use when cross-cutting.
• Riving knife (62) to prevent the workpiece binding on the blade when ripping.

- Release the bevel clamp lever (36) and pull out the bevel latch (37) (fig. F2) to tilt the motor as shown for optimum access (fig. H3).

- Remove the guard retaining wing nut (63) and washer (64).

- Loosen the locking screw (65) and turn the retaining bracket (66) counter-clockwise until the spring held rear guard (58) can be lifted off its support lug (68) (fig. H3).

- Unhook the two springs (67) at the top only.

- Rotate the unhooked rear blade guard (58) as shown in figure H2.

- Lower the guard assembly over the blade (fig. H3).

• Secure the guard assembly using the wing nut (63) and washer (64).
• Bring the spring held rear blade guard (58) and the retaining bracket (66) into their original position (fig. H2).
• To remove the guard assembly, proceed in reverse order.

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

Adjusting the guard assembly controls (fig. H4 & H5)

Adjusting the riving knife for ripping

• Loosen the two knobs (69) and slide the riving knife (62) down until the tip is approximately 10 mm from the table top (fig. H4 & H5).
• Loosen the two screws (70) and set the riving knife to the correct distance to the blade (fig. H4).

The riving knife should be correctly set; the distance between the toothed rim and the riving knife should be 1-3 mm (fig. H5).

Adjusting the anti-kickback fingers for (bevel) ripping (fig. H4 & H6)

• Loosen the knob (71) and lower the bracket (72) until the hold down spring (73) just touches the surface of the workpiece (fig. H4).
• The tips of the anti-kickback fingers (60) should now be 3 mm below the surface of the workpiece and the angle should now be as shown in figure H6.
• For bevel ripping, loosen the Allen screw (74) and set the anti-kickback fingers to the required angle.

Adjusting the riving knife, finger guard and anti-kickback fingers for cross-cutting (fig. H2)

• For cross-cutting, adjust the riving knife and anti-kickback fingers up and out of the way.
• Loosen the lever (75) to position the finger guard (61) just above the workpiece and lock the lever (75).

Scale adjustments (fig. 11 - 15)

Rip scale

Ripping can be done with the motor in two positions. Each mode requires its own direction of feed:

Position Direction of feed

• In-rip from right to left (fig. 11)
• Out-rip from left to right (fig. 12)

The pointer (76) indicating the ripping width on the rip scale (77) is adjustable (fig. I3):

• Place the fence in rearmost position.
• Place a board of 24 mm against the fence.
• Unlock the yoke clamp lever (53) press the yoke latch (54) (fig. I1) and position the motor in out-rip position (fig. I2).
• Move the yoke assembly along the radial arm until the blade just touches the edge of the material.
• Loosen the two screws (78) and move the pointer (76) until the edge of the out-rip pointer (79) lines up with the known width of the board on the lower scale (fig. 13).

- Tighten the two screws (78).

- Place the motor in in-rip position.

- Raise the guard to allow the blade to rest against the face of the fence.

- The in-rip pointer (80) should now line up with the zero position in the upper scale. Adjust if necessary.

Bevel scale (fig. 14)

• Check that the bevel scale (20) reads 0^ when positioned for a vertical cut.
• If required, loosen the screws (81) and adjust the pointer to 0^ .

Mitre scale (fig. 15)

• Check that the mitre scale (52) reads 0^ when positioned for a vertical cut.
• Adjust the pointer (51) to register 0^ using the screw (82).
  The mitre scale has preset positions at 45^ left and right and at 0^ .

Yoke travel stop (fig. A2, J1 & J2)

The yoke travel stop (14) must be adjusted to avoid that the bearings on the yoke assembly hit the rear limit of the bearing tracks (fig. A2).

• Push the yoke assembly as far as it will go, pull it forwards approx. 5 mm and lock it the using the riplock (15) (fig. A2).
• Adjust the yoke travel stop (14) by slackening the nuts (83) in the front slot (84) until the rubber stop (85) butts against the back of the riplock housing (fig. J1).
• Tighten the nuts (83).

When cross-cutting, tighten one nut in the front slot (84) and one in the rear slot (86) (fig. J2).

Mounting the return spring (fig. A1 & K)

- Mount the return spring (87) behind the yoke travel stop (14) using the corresponding bolts and attach the end of the cable to the riplock (15) using the screws.

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.

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

Switching on and off (fig. A)

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 (22).
• electronic braking system: after switching off, the braking system will produce a humming noise for about eight seconds as it resets.
  The machine can be restarted during this period if required.
• I = ON The tool now works in continuous operation.
• O = OFF

Making a trial cut (fig. A1)

• With the mitre latch lever (9) engaged, lock the mitre clamp lever (10) so that the blade is positioned for a straight 0^ cross-cut.

• Release the riplock (15) and push the yoke assembly back until the blade is behind the fence.

• Lower the arm until the blade almost touches the table top.

• Place the workpiece against the front of the fence.
• Switch on and lower the arm to allow the blade to cut a shallow groove in the table surface.
• Pull the blade towards you so that it cuts a vertical slot in the wooden fence and through the workpiece.
• Return the blade back to rest position and switch off.
• Check that the cut is a true 90^ in all planes and adjust if required.

Basic saw cuts (fig. L & M1 - M7)

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

Cross-cutting (fig. L & M1)

• Set the radial arm at right angles to the fence.
• Engage the mitre latch lever (9) in 0^ position and tighten the mitre clamp lever (10) (fig. M1).
• Lower the blade.
• Adjust the finger guard (61) so that it just clears the workpiece.
• If there is no slot in the table top, cut one as described above.
• Hold the workpiece against the fence, keeping your fingers well away from the path of the blade.
• Switch on and slowly pull the blade through the fence and the workpiece.
• Return the blade to rest position and switch off.

• Release the mitre latch lever (9) and the mitre clamp lever (10) (fig. M2).
• Swing the arm to the required angle on the mitre scale.
• For 45^ left or right, engage the mitre latch lever (9) and lock with the mitre clamp lever (10).
• For intermediate angles, use the mitre clamp lever only.
  • Proceed as for cross-cutting.

In the case of left-hand mitre, you may have to slide the fence and the strips to the left (fig. M3).

Bevel cuts (fig. L, M1& M4)

• Set the arm as for a 0^ cross-cut (fig. M1).
• Raise the blade well above the table surface.
• Release the bevel clamp lever (36) and pull out the bevel latch (37) (fig. M4).
• Tilt the motor to the required angle on the bevel scale (20).
• For 90^ or 45^ right, engage the bevel latch (37) and lock with the bevel clamp lever (36).
• For intermediate angles, use the bevel clamp lever only.
  • Proceed as for a vertical cross-cut.

Ripping (fig. L, H1, I1, I2 & M5)

The motor can be locked in in-rip or out-rip position as shown in figures I1 & I2 to adapt the machine to narrow and wide workpieces respectively.

• Lock the yoke in pulled out position using the riplock.
• Release the yoke clamp lever (53) and press the yoke latch (54) to rotate the motor to the appropriate position until it locks in place (fig. 11).
• Tighten the yoke clamp lever (53) and position the fence accordingly.
• Position the yoke along the arm for the desired width of cut, using the rip scale (77) and lock it in position using the riplock (fig. I2).
• Adjust the blade guard as described above and turn the dust extraction adaptor (59) away from your face. Remember that ripping requires the use of the riving knife (62) and the anti-kickback fingers (60) (fig. H1).
• Using the push stick (88), slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, keeping it firmly pressed onto the table and against the fence (fig. M5). Allow the teeth to cut and do not force the workpiece through the blade. The blade speed should be kept constant.

Always use a push stick.

Bevel ripping (fig. L & M6)

• Set the machine in the bevel crosscut position.
• Rotate the yoke into rip position.
• Position the yoke for the correct ripping width.
• Angle the anti-kickback fingers (60) so that they will be flat on the workpiece and lower the riving knife (62).
  • Proceed as for ripping.

Compound mitre (fig. L & M7)

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

• Set the required bevel angle.
• Swing the arm to the required mitre position.
  • Proceed as for mitre cuts.

Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.

Increased cutting capacity (fig. N1 & N2)

In the ripping mode and the vertical cross-cutting mode, the cutting depth can be increased by cutting the workpiece twice from both opposite parallel sides. The accuracy achieved depends on correct adjustment of the machine and alignment of the blade.

• Set the machine in the required position.
• Place the workpiece against the fence.
• Cut at least halfway across the material to perform the first cut (fig. N1).
• Turn the workpiece upside down and place it against the fence with the opposite side facing up.
• Following the same cutting line, cut through the material for the second cut to meet the first (fig. N2).

Advanced cutting applications

Your radial arm saw can be used for a wide variety of advanced applications, such as coving/hollowing.

Coving/hollowing (fig. O)

• Tilt the blade to the required angle, rotate the yoke beneath the arm and position the blade above the workpiece where required.
  Remove the workpiece and lower the blade to make a shallow cut.
  Lower the anti-kickback fingers as for bevel ripping. Keeping the workpiece against the fence, proceed as for ripping.

Make shallow cuts only!

Dust extraction (fig. H1)

The machine is provided with a dust extraction adaptor (59).

• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
• When cross-cutting, position a dust collection shute (option) behind the line of cut.

Optional accessories

Prior to assembling any accessories always unplug the machine.

The router bracket (fig. F1, Q1 - Q6)

The router bracket (103) allows you to attach a D≡WALT router to your machine, thus extending its versatility to accurate, decorative woodworking (fig. Q1).

Mounting the router bracket

• Remove the blade guard assembly and the blade.
• Position the router bracket (103) over the end of the arbor as shown in figure Q1 and secure it with the wing nut (63).
• Replace the guide rods of the parallel fence of your router by the support bars (104) supplied with the attachment:
• Use the small diameter bars for DW609/DW613/DW615 (fig. Q2)
• Use the large diameter bars for DW620/DW621/DW624/DW625/DW629 (fig. Q3).
• Tighten the locking screws (105) (fig. Q4).

Always make sure your router is properly centred on the bars and secured in the bracket.

Routing

The router can be set to the required angle and pulled across the workpiece using the handle (2) (fig. Q5) or guided along the stationary cutter (fig. Q6).

• Check that the router bracket is mounted rigidly.
• If required, fit the outer flange (43) in figure G1 on the arbor and clamp the router bracket against the motor using the arbor nut (41) in figure G1. Do not overlighten the arbor nut.

Always feed the workpiece against the rotating cutter.

Also refer to the instruction manual of your power tool.

Mitre fences (fig. S1 & S2)

Mitre fences (108) are available to extend and speed up the angle cutting facility (fig. S1).

• Replace the standard fence by the mitre fences (108).
• Guide the saw blade between the two fence sections (fig. S2).

Traverse control (fig. T1 - T7)

The traverse control (109) guarantees optimum results in applications where a consistent, even feed rate is important.

Mounting the traverse control

• Remove the return spring (87) in figure K.
• Remove the yoke travel stop (14) in figure A1.
• Mount the rear flat bracket (110) and the yoke travel stop as shown in figure T2.
• Loosen the grub screw (111) in the knurled knob (112) using an Allen key and unscrew the knurled knob (fig. T3).

- Loosen the grub screw (113) in the rear support (114) and pull the support off the rod.
