Blade height adjustment (fi g. A1)

The blade can be raised and lowered by turning the combined elevating and bevel control wheel (10).

  • Make sure the top three teeth of the blade are just breaking through the upper surface of the workpiece when sawing. This will ensure that the maximum number of teeth are removing material at any given time, thus giving optimum performance.

Adjusting the rip scale (fi g. A1 & E)

  • Remove the blade guard.
  • Unlock the lock lever (12) by pulling it up (fig. A1).
  • Unlock the bevel lock lever (11) and set the bevel angle to 0^ .
  • Move the fence (7) until it touches the blade.
  • Lock the lock lever (12).
  • Loosen the rip scale pointer screws (28) and set the pointer (29) to zero (fi g. E).
    • Tighten the screws (28)

The rip scale reads correctly only when the fence is mounted to the right of the blade.

Mounting the riving knife assembly (fi g. A1 & F)

  • It is not permitted to mount another riving knife as delivered with this machine.
  • The correct position is for the top of the riving knife (32) 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.
  • Raise the blade arbor to its maximum by rotating the blade height adjustment wheel (10) clockwise (fi g. A1).
  • Slacken the two bolts (30) (fig. F).
  • Align the slots (31) with the bolts (30) and insert the fence until the tops of the slots rest on the bolts (fi g. F).
  • When properly aligned, the riving knife will be in line with the blade at the table top and at the top of the blade. Check using a straight edge in all bevel and blade height positions.
  • If adjustment is required, remove the blade guard and adjust the shims (33).
  • Mount the blade guard on the bolts.
    • Retighten the bolts (30) securely.

WARNING: Never use the machine without the table insert. Immediately replace the table insert when worn or damaged.

Bench mounting (fi g. A1)

- Holes (2) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both. Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 ~mm or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.

- When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit fl ush on the work support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.

- To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is firm on the mounting surface.

DEWALT DW744XP - Bench mounting (fi g. A1) - 1

WARNING: The mounting surface must have a 350 x 500 mm opening to allow dust to escape.

Rail lock adjustment (fi g. A1 & H)

The rail lock has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust, proceed as follows:

  • Lock the lock lever (12) by pushing it down (fig. A1).
  • Adjust the nut (35) on the underside of your saw until the gap between the Belleville washers (36) closes (fi g. H).
  • Once the Belleville washers are almost touching, loosen the nut (35) half a turn.

Bevel stop and pointer adjustment (fi g. K1 & K2)

  • Raise the blade to its maximum by rotating the blade height adjustment wheel (10) clockwise (fig. K1).
  • Unlock the bevel lock lever (11) by pushing it up and to the right.
  • Loosen the bevel stop screw (37).
  • Place a set square (38) on the table and up against the blade (39) (fi g. K2).
  • Adjust the bevel angle using the bevel lock lever (11) until the blade is flat at against the square.
    • Tighten the bevel lock lever (11).
  • Turn the bevel stop cam (40) until it firmly contacts the bearing block (fi g. K1).
  • Check the bevel angle scale. If adjustment is required, loosen the pointer screw (41) and set the pointer to 0^ .
    • Tighten the pointer screw (41).
  • Repeat the procedure at 45^ for the 45^ bevel stop, but do not adjust the pointer.

Mitre gauge adjustment (fi g. A3 & L)

Your mitre gauge (19) is equipped with adjustable stops at 90° and 45°.

- To adjust these stops, loosen the lock nuts (42) and set the adjusting screws (43) as required.

Adjusting the fence parallel to the blade (fig. B1) (Blade Parallel to Fence)

If you experience fence alignment problems and want to correct an out of parallel between the fence and the blade, be sure to check the alignment of the blade to the miter slot first. After confirming that those elements are aligned, proceed with alignment of the blade to the fence using the following procedure:

  1. Unlock the rail lock lever (12) and locate the two fence locator screws (20) that support the fence on the front and rear rails.
  2. Loosen the rear locator screw and adjust the position of the fence in the groove on the fence until it sets the fence face parallel to the blade. Make sure you measure from the fence face to the front and back of the blade to ensure alignment.
  3. Tighten the locator screw and repeat on the left side of the blade.
  4. Check rip scale pointer adjustment.

OPERATION

Instructions for use

DEWALT DW744XP - Instructions for use - 1

WARNING:

• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
- Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy 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 allow handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
• 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.

- Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the electrical power source.

• Never use your saw for freehand cuts!
- Do not saw warped, bowed or cupped workpieces. There must be at least one straight, smooth side to go against the rip fence or mitre fence.
• Always support long workpieces to prevent kickback.
- Do not remove any cut-offs from the blade area while the blade is running.

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

Switching on and off (fi g. A1)

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

  • no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for any reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
  • extra safety: the hinged safety enclosure plate can be locked by passing a padlock through the centre hasp. The plate also serves as an "easy to locate" emergency stop button as pressure on the front of the plate will depress the stop button.
    • To switch the machine on, press the green start button.
    • To switch the machine off, press the red stop button.

Basic saw cuts

Ripping (fi g. A1, A2, M1 & M2)

DEWALT DW744XP - Ripping (fi g. A1, A2, M1 & M2) - 1

WARNING: Sharp edges.

  • Set the blade to 0^ .
  • Lock the rip fence (7) (fig. A1).
  • Raise the blade until it is about 3 mm higher than the top of the workpiece. Adjust the height of the upper blade guard as necessary.
  • Adjust the position of the L-shaped fence profile (16) level with the back of the riving knife. When ripping wide pieces of material, slide the L-shaped fence profile (16) off the main part of the fence, rotate vertically through 180^ and replace to provide additional support.

  • Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.

  • Keep both hands away from the path of the blade (fig. M2).
  • Switch the machine on and allow the blade to reach full speed.
  • Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the guard, keeping it firmly pressed against the rip fence. Allow the teeth to cut, and do not force the workpiece through the blade. The blade speed should be kept constant.
